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 -

Connect Front Panel USB/MIC/Line-out/Line-in/1394

You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originatinting from the computer's front-panel devices (HDLED,
GLED, USB4/5, MIC Line-in or Line-out devices etc.) These cables serve to
connect the HDLED, GLED, USB4/5, MIC, Line-in, Line-out or 1394 connec­tors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group, as shown below.

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.

- 23 -

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.

4. Choose "Install Realtek Audio Driver" and complete it.

5. Choose "Install Realtek LAN Driver" and complete it.

6. Choose "Install USB2.0 Driver" and complete it.

7. Exit from the autorun drivers installation program.

] Please refer to section Chapter 4 Software Utility to install driver.

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.

communicating with its own special components.
This section covers some very technical items, and it is strongly
recommended that only experienced users should make any
changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset
Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit from Setup
if you have installed a new device or software and the system
reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating
system can not boot.

Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled .

Resource controlled By

The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices.
However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using
a Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.

If you set this field to "manual" , choose specific resources by going into
each of the sub-menu that follows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded
by a ">").

Ø The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.

IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a

type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned

This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and
is not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant
with the original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is
compliant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI
or ISA bus architecture.

Ø The choice: PCI Device or Reserved.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

It determines whether the MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards can work with
PCI/VGA or not. If you have MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards and PCI/
VGA Card worked, Enable this field. Otherwise, please Disable it.

Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled.

INT Pin1~8 Assignment

Names the interrupt request(IRQ) line assigned to a device connected to
the PCI interface on your system.

Ø The choice: Auto, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 or 15.

User Set CPU Fan

Enabled you to choose one specific fan for further setting.
Ø The choice: Fan1 or Fan2.

CPU Temp Tag

The item only for 'smart fan' and you
can choose 'smart fan' on 'CPU Fan
Speed Control'. This feature ranges
from 30 0C to 80 0C, in an increment
of 1 0C. When CPU current tempera­ture over CPU Temp Tag (user set,
default value as 68 0C), CPU fan will
speed up. You can refer to table
below.

Ø The choice: 30 0C~80 0C.

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.

Pressing 'Y' loads the BIOS default values for the most stable,
minimal performance system operations.

@ Load Optimized Defaults

When you press <Enter> on this item, you will get a confirmation
dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N

Pressing 'Y' loads the default values that are factory-set for
optimal performance system operation.

Async AGP/PCI/S-ATA CLK

This item allows you to set AGP/PCI clock and CPU clock asynchro­nous. You can select 66/33, 73/36, or 80/40 to fixed AGP/PCI clock
even if you adjust CPU clock.

Ø The choice: Sync by CPU Clock, fixed 66/33/100 MHz, fixed 73/36/

100 MHz or fixed 80/40/100.

Note: If you install S-ATA device, please do not select [Sync by CPU

clock]. That will let S-ATA device fail. We strongly recommend
you to select [fixed 66/33/100 MHz].

@ Save & Exit Setup

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y

Pressing "Y" stores the selections made in the menus of CMOS - a
special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off.
The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your sys­tem according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving
the values the system is restarted again.

@ Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y

This allows you to exit from Setup without storing in CMOS any
change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits from the
Setup utility and restarts your computer.
