Step 1

CPU Installation:

This motherboard supports LGA 775 package 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 and raise the socket lever. Open the load plate (be careful not to
touch the socket pins during this process).

- 13 -

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 LGA 775 package 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 DDRII DRAM System Memory

To install memory, insert DDRII DRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).
Note that DDRII DRAM 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.

Do not remove memory modules while DIMM LED is on. It might cause short
or other unexpected damages due to the 1.8V stand by voltage. Remove memory
modules only when AC Power cord is disconnected.

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 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.

- 16 -

Step 5

Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis

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 backpanel of
the mainboard in a close fit with your system
case.

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.

Step 6

Connect Front-Panel Switches/LEDs/
USBs/1394/Headphones/Front-Mic

You are now ready to put the computer
case back together and get on to the exter­nal peripherals connections to your
system's front-panel.

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 FORM-

AT 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 2000/
XP operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed
before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.

1. Insert the FB95 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 Intel Ultra ATA Driver" and complete it.

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

5. Choose "Install Broadcom BACS" and complete it.

6. Choose "Install Intel USB 2.0 Driver" and complete it.

7. Choose "Install Intel High Definition Bus" and complete it.

8. Choose "Install Intel High Definition Audio Driver" and complete it.

9. Choose "Install DirectX9 Utility" and complete it.

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

3.2 Jumper Settings

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect
jumper pins to the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each
jumper; you just find a location marked with a while right angle, which stands
for pin1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:

3-pin and multi-pin (>3) jumpers show as follows:

Pin #1 to the left:

Pin #1 on the top:

Pin #1 to the right:

Pin #1 on the bottom:

Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Close [On] or for Open
[Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the desired
pair of pins.

Caution!

1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging
until you are ready to install it.

2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its
components. When putting the mainboard down, place it on the top
of its original packaging film and on an even surface, and components
side up.

3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.

The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips(DRAM). Don't change the value from the factory setting
unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating
than the original DRAMs.

Ø The choice: Manual or BySPD.

CAS Latency Time

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of
CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Don't change this field from
the default value specified by the system designer.

Ø The choice: 2, 2.5, or 3.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS
strobe signals, and you can use it when DRAM is written to, read from,
or refreshed. Faster performance is gained in high speed, more stable
performance, in low speed. This field is applied only when synchro­nous DRAM is installed in the system.

Ø The choice: Auto, 5, 4, 3 or 2.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate
its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be-incompleted, and
the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and
Slow gives more stable performance. This field is applied only when
synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

Ø The choice: Auto, 5, 4, 3 or 2.

Precharge delay (tRAS)

This item allows you to select Precharge delay (tRAS).

@ 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.
