Step 1
CPU Installation:
This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron Socket 478 series CPU. Please follow the steps as follows to finish CPU installation.
Note the CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever to 90-degree angle.
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, and insert the CPU into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
4. Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processors require a set of heatsink and fan to cool
down the processor. You need to purchase a heatsink and fan if they are not bundled with your CPU. Required is that install the set and plug its cable in the CPU fan power connector. Note that there are kinds of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports a hardware monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power connector can have your system detect the CPU fan's speed. A CPU fan with a 2-pin or 4-pin fan power connector does not support the detection of the CPU fan's speed, and must directly be connected to the system's power supply unit.
CPU socket lever up to 90-degree angle
CPU Pin 1 and cut edge
Note: The CPU might be damaged if you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and cut edge well.
- 13 -
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
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 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s). Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the DIMM slots, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the module in place.
DDR SDRAM

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's 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: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment 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.
- 16 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originatinting from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED, Power LED,or Reset Switch devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches and LEDs connectors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group, as shown below.
1. ATX Soft Power On/Off (PWON)
2. HDD-LED (HLED)
3. Green-LED and Power-LED (GLED/PLED)

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. After FDISK procedure, reboot your system by using the same system floppy disk.
Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of
HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the operating systems mentioned above, you can only install your HDD into partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FORM­AT C: /S command.
Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the
primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become
a bootable drive.
5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.
6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation
guide.

Step 13
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/ 2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM pro­grams.
1. Insert the FB61 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.
2. Choose "Install Intel Chipset Driver" and complete it.
3. Choose "Install VGA Device Driver" and complete it.

@ PC Health Status
CPU Fan Speed Control
This item allows you to set the CPU Fan Speed. Ø The choice: Smart Fan, Ultra-Low , Low , Mid , or Full .
Note: Before manually modifying the CPU fan setting, please make sure fan connectors are plug into the correct fan connector
designations on the mainboard.
User Set CPU Fan
Enabled you to choose one specific fan for further setting. Ø The choice: Fan1or Fan2 .
Fan Speed Up When CPU Temp
Enabled 3 phase smart control to the Selected fan. This feature ranges from 40 0C to 80 0C, in an increment of 4 0C.
Ø The choice: 40 0C,44 0C,48 0C, 52 0C, 56 0C, 60 0C, 64 0C, 68 0C,
720C, 76 0C,80 0C.
Take our default Setting for example, 1st and 2nd phase Variable Fan Speed and CPU temperature Control is as defined by "Fan Speed Up When CPU Temp". If actual CPU temp (reported by BIOS) stays below 72 0C then CPU fan speed will run at a quiet mode (1st phase) of approximately 2000 RPM.
- 76 -
But when the actual CPU temp goes above the pre-selected 72 0C temperature threshold, then CPU fan speed will automatically engage into normal mode (2nd phase) of about 2500 RPM. Automatically by the Smart Bios feature, this increase of fan rotation speed will effectively cool down the CPU temperature. And when the CPU temperature drops back below the 72 0C temperature threshold, CPU fan speed will again automatically shift back to the quiet mode (1st phase) of about 2000 RPM in order to reduce fan noise level.
Fail-safe mode (4rd phase) Variable Fan Speed and CPU temperature Control is as predefined at user setting offset 100C. Where
in the event of system and CPU operating under extreme working conditions, and if CPU temperature is raised above 82 0C then the Smart Bios will engage the CPU fan in Fail-safe mode to rotate at about 3500 RPM. Please note that the higher fan speed, the fan cooler will be become slightly noiseier in order to compensate for the increase in CPU temperature.
Warning: It is Strongly recommended to disable CPU Fan Auto
Guardian feature, if you wish to use other fan cooler,
allowing the fan to run at its default speed.
