Step 1.
CPU Installation:
This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron Socket 478 series CPU. Please follow the step as below to finish CPU installation.
Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
CPU socket lever up to 90 degree
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU
upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the
socket.
CPU pin 1 and cut edge
- 12 -
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
Note: Note:
Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge
Note: Note:
well, it may damage the CPU.
4. The Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already bundled with your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard ware moni­toring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your system to detect the CPU fan's speed. The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not supported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly connected to the system's power supply unit.

Step 2.
Set Jumpers
This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as any of the following cases:
1. Clear CMOS
2. BIOS Boot block protection
3. Set CPU FSB Frequency
4. Set USB Power On
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the mainboard configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for opti­mum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize their system, section on how to configure your mainboard manually.

3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information
3.2 Jumper Settings3.2 Jumper Settings
Step 3. Install DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two or three DIMM banks. Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the DIMM bank, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to lock the module in place.

Step 4.
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/ HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit. This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard de­scribed below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and CD-ROM, have to set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install more than one device of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal pe­ripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on the mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
- 15 -
Step 5.
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose correct mounting holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system chassis and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts between the board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to attach the mainboard.)
Note: Note:
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more attach-
Note: Note:
ment points to install mounting studs and then fix the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure to install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the mainboard.

Step 12
First Time System Boot Up
To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your system for the first time.
1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2. Turn on the system power.
3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary parti­tion does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose to add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical parti­tions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition which will be shown in the FDISK program.

Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to sys­tem memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coor­dinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It states that these items should never need to be altered.
The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operat­ing conditions for your system. If you discovered that data was being lost while using your system, you might consider making any changes.
