Step 1

CPU Installation:

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

Note the CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.

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

socket.

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

4. Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processors require a set of heatsink and fan to cool
down the processor. You need to purchase a heatsink and fan if they are not
bundled with your CPU. Required is that install the set and plug its cable in
the CPU fan power connector. Note that there are kinds of CPU fan connec­tors. Normally, if your mainboard supports a hardware monitoring function,
a 3-pin fan power connector can have your system detect the CPU fan's spe­ed. A CPU fan with a 2-pin or 4-pin fan power connector does not support
the detection of the CPU fan's speed, and must directly be connected to the
system's power supply unit.

CPU socket lever up to
90-degree angle

CPU Pin 1 and cut edge

Note: The CPU might be damaged if you

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

- 13 -

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'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.

- 16 -

Step 6

Connect Front-Panel LEDs/Switches/USBs

You can find there are several cables existing in the system case and originating
from the front-panel devices (HDD LED, Green LED, Reset switch, and USB

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 FORM­AT 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 FS56 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

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

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

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

4. Choose "Install SIS VGA Driver" and complete it.

5. Choose "Install SIS USB2.0 Driver" and complete it.

6. Choose "Install Realtek LAN Driver" and complete it.

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

8. Exit from the autorun drivers installation program.

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

5 BIOS SETUP

FS56 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 the 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

Note 1. If you miss trains of words meationed in step2 (the message disa-

ppears 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's front-panel. You may also reboot by simulta­neously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>,<Del> keys.

CPU Fan Speed Control

This item allows you to set the CPU Fan Speed.
Ø The choice: Smart Fan, Ultra-Low, Low, Mid or Full.

Note: Before manually modifying the CPU fan setting, please make
sure fan connectors are plug into the correct fan connector

designations on the mainboard.

User Set CPU Fan

Enabled you to choose one specific fan for further setting.
Ø The choice: Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3 or Fan1 & Fan3.

Fan Speed Up When CPU Temp

Enabled 3 phase smart control to the Selected fan.
This feature ranges from 48 0C to 80 0C, in an increment of 4 0C.
The default temperature is at 72 0C.
Ø The choice: 48 0C, 52 0C, 56 0C, 60 0C, 64 0C, 68 0C, 72 0C,

76 0C, 80 0C.

Take our default Setting for example, 1st and 2nd phase Variable Fan
Speed and CPU temperature Control is as defined by "Fan Speed Up
When CPU Temp". If actual CPU temp (reported by BIOS) stays below
72 0C then CPU fan speed will run at a quiet mode (1st phase) of ap­proximately 2000 RPM.

- 72 -

But when the actual CPU temp goes above the pre-selected 72 0C tem­perature threshold, then CPU fan speed will automatically engage into
normal mode (2nd phase) of about 2500 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 0C temperature threshold, CPU fan speed will again auto­matically shift back to the quiet mode (1st phase) of about 2000 RPM in
order to reduce fan noise level.

Fail-safe mode (4rd phase) Variable Fan Speed and CPU temperature
Control is as predefined at user setting offset 100C. Where in the event
of system and CPU operating under extreme working conditions, and if
CPU temperature is raised above 82 0C then the Smart Bios will engage
the CPU fan in Fail-safe mode to rotate at about 3500 RPM. Please note
that the higher fan speed, the fan cooler will be become slightly noiseier
in order to compensate for the increase in CPU temperature.

Warning : It is Strongly recommended to disable CPU Fan Auto

Guardian feature, if you wish to use other fan cooler,
allowing the fan to run at its default speed.
