Step 1

CPU Installation:

This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 /Celeron, Socket 478 series CPU. Please follow the steps below to finish CPU installation.

Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever up 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, then insert the CPU into the socket.

CPU socket lever up to 90 degree

CPU pin 1 and cut edge

- 13 -

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.

Note:

If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it may damage the CPU.

4. The Intel Pentium 4 /Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to en sure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already bundled with your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard ware moni toring 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 supported. 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.

- 14 -

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 to clear the 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 cannot be inserted into 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.

- 16 -

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 the correct mounting holes, keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case.

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 the screws to secure it to 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.

- 17 -

Step 6

Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB

You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originating from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED, Power LED, Reset Switch, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the mainboard's frontpanel connectors group (JP3, JP8, JP10), as shown below.

1. ATX Soft Power On/Off (PWON)

2. HDD-LED (HLED)

3. Green-LED and Power-LED (GLED/PLED)

4. Hardware Reset Switch Button (RST)

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.

- 22 -

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 FS51 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The

autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.

2. Choose "Install SIS VGA Device Driver" and complete it.

3. Choose "Install SIS AGP Driver" and complete it.

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

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

6. Exit from the autorun drivers installation program.

] Please refer to

Chapter 4 Software Utility

to install driver.

3.2 Jumper Settings

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

3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers shown as following: 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 mini jumpers 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 top of its original packaging film, 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.

normal mode (2nd phase) of about 3000 RPM. Automatically by

the Smart Bios feature, this increase of fan rotation speed will effectively cool down the CPU temperature. And when the CPU temperature drops back below the 72
