Step 1

Install the CPU:

1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector of

your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the DIMM memory
slots).

2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to

unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.

3. Place your AMD AthlonTM 64 processor in the socket 754 CPU. Note that

the CPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to pre­vent from in serting the processor in the wrong direction. The following dia­gram demon strates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket. You
can see that the Triangle Mark.

4. Slightly push the AMD AthlonTM 64 processor into the socket without apply-

ing exces sive force while making sure there is no gap between CPU and
socket. Then lower the socket-lever all the way down to its horizontal posi­tion and lock it to secure the CPU in place.

5. The AMD AthlonTM 64 processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure

proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already
mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan sepa-rately and
have it in stalled. Plug the cable throught the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan
power con nector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU
fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard ware moni­toring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your system to
detect the CPU fan's speed . The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan
power connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not sup ported.
Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector,
which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly
connected to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to the following
diagram.

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:

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.

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 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 atta-

chment points to install mounting studs and then fix the mainboard.
If there aren 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 (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(JP9)

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