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.
DDR SDRAM

Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
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.
- 15 -
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 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.

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.
