Step 1

CPU Installation:

This motherboard supports Socket 775 Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron D pro­cessors (CPU).
To install, follow the steps outlined below. Note the CPU orientation carefully
when you insert it into the socket.

Caution : This 775 pin socket is fragile and easily damaged.

Always use extreme care when installing a CPU and limit the
number of times that you remove or change the CPU.

1. Remove the protective cover.

2. Unlock the socket lever and lift it to 90-degrees (be careful not to touch the
socket pins during this process).

- 12 -

3. Orientate the CPU and socket, aligning the yellow triangle on the corner of
the CPU with the triangle on the socket. Gently insert. Take care not to place
any sideways force on the CPU when inserting, as the socket is fragile and
easily damaged.

4. Lower the CPU socket lever and lock in place.

5. The Socket 775 processor requires a heat sink and cooling fan to run effi­ciently, cool and stable. If you do not receive a bundled heat sink and fan
when you purchase you CPU, it is essential that you acquire one.

Note : The CPU might be damaged

if you do not match the CPU
socket Pin 1 and cut edge well.

Step 2

Set Jumper

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.

Caution: If you did not place the battery apropriately, which may cause

risk of explosion. Please pefer to the related rule for the dis­pose of used batteries.

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.

Before you place 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.

To install IDE & FDD drives, follow these procedures:

1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions pro­vided by the manufacturer. (IDE, 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 the 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 of the IDE or FDD connector on the mainboard 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.

Step 5

Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis

1. You may find there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis
and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to
make the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case,
as shown below.

2. Position the studs between the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are
used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between them,
for avoiding any electrical shorts in-between.

(If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you need
to tighten the screws to attach the mainboard.)

Note: In most computer housings, you can find 4 or more holes to place

studs for fixing the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes,
screw at least 4 studs to ensure the proper attachment of the main­board.

Step 6

Connect Front Panel Header

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 (POWER ON)

2. HDD-LED (HDD LED)

3. Green-LED and Power-LED (GREEN LED/POWER LED)

4. Hardware Reset Switch Button (RESET)

Connect Front Panel AUDIO/ USB/ 1394 Connector (JP16)

You can find there are several different
cables already existing in the system case
and originatinting from the computer's
front-panel devices (AUDIO, USB, 1394a
devices etc.). These cables serve to
connect the AUDIO, USB, 1394a,
connectors to the mainboard's front panel
connectors group, as shown below.

Step 12

System Boot Up For the First-Time

To ensure your system completedly and correctly installed, please refer to the
above installation steps once again before first booting up your system.

1. Insert a system-bootable floppy disk (DOS 6.2X, Windows 9X/NT, or
others), which contains the FDISK and FORMAT utilities.

2. Turn on the system power.

3. First, you need to 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 shown in

the FDISK program. After the FDISK procedure, reboot your system by
using the same 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 any par­titions no larger than 2.1GB.

4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), key in the command, "FOR­MAT C:/S."

Note: FORMAT C:/S can transfer all the necessary system files into the pri-

mary partition of your hard disk. Afterwards, 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/NT/XP operating systems. Make sure your operating system is
already installed before running the installation programs on CD-ROM.

1. Insert the FB77 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The

autorun program will display the main installation window on screen.

2. Choose "Install Mainboard FB77 Series Driver".

3. Choose "Install Intel Chipset Driver" and complete it.

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

5. Choose "Install Broadcom Giga LAN Driver" and complete it.

ATX Power Supply Connectors (ATX1/ATX2)

This motherboard uses 20-pin ATX power header (ATX1), and comes with
the other one header (ATX2). Please make sure you plug each in the right
direction. It is essential to have these two power supply connectors plugged
or your system won't boot up.

A traditional ATX system remains in the power-off stage when AC power re­sumes from power failure. However, it is inconvenient for a network server or
workstation if there is not an UPS to execute power-on. Thus, this motherboard
supports an AC Power Auto Recovery function to solve this problem. You may
enable the function, "PWRON After PWR-Fail," in the sub-menu of "Power
Management Setup" within the BIOS setup program.

Note 1: The ATX power connector is directional and will not go in

unless the guides match perfectly, making sure that pin#1 is

properly positioned.
Note 2: Make sure the latch of the ATX power connector clicks into

place to ensure a solid attachment.
Note 3: Your ATX power supply must be supplied to ACPI+5V stand-

by power and at least 720mA compatible.
Note 4: Make sure your power supply have enough power for higher

speed processor installed.

5 BIOS SETUP

FB77 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the
basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM
so that it retains the Setup information even if the system power is turned off.

The system BIOS is managing and executing a variety of hardware related
functions in the system, including:

System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources

5.1 Enter BIOS

To enter the BIOS (Basic Input /Output System) utility, follow these steps:

Step 1. Power on the computer, and the system will perform its

POST (Power-On Self Test) routine checks.

Step 2. Press <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:

Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,

<Alt>, <Esc> keys.

Note1. If you miss trains of words mentioned in step2 (the message

disappears before you can respond) and you still wish to en­ter BIOS Setup, restart the system and try again by turning the
computer OFF and ON again or by pressing the <RESET>
switch located at the computer front-panel. You may also
reboot by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>,
<Del> keys.

Note2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not

boot, the screen will prompt an error message, and you will

@ PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or Per­sonal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O devices to
operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU 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.

IRQ3/4/5/7/10/11/12/14/15 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.
