HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Install The CPU

The Installation PPGA Celeron Processor

HOT-687V mainboard provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket370 for Intel PPGA Celeron and FC­PGA Coppermine CPU. The CPU that came with the mainboard should have a fan attached
to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on
your system.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF Socket370
and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90­degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown.(Figure 3-1) Use
the notched corner of the CPU as your guide. The notched corner should point towards the
end of the lever. Notice that there are two blank area where one hole is missing from that
corner of the square array of pin holes. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four
corner, the CPU will only fit in the one orientationn, hold down on the CPU and close the
socket’s lever.

Figure 3-1

Then you should have a CPU fan that
will cover the face of the CPU. Apply
thermal jelly to the CPU metallic top and
then install the fan onto the CPU. (Figure
3-2 )

Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper pins
on the main board. The jumper's pin 1 on main board will be on the top or on the left when
holding the main board with the keyboard connector away from yourself.

Jumpers with two pins will be shown as for Close (On) and for Open (Off).
To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins.

CPU Host Frequency Setting - JP6 and JP10

The CPU host frequency is set to Auto-detecting by BIOS. It is defined according to Intel
Celeron CPU specification. We strongly advise novice users not to modify the original
setting, for setting an incorrect value may damage your CPU.

For experienced users, the HOT-687V mainboard provides an alternative Hard-Configure
function to adjust your CPU host frequency manually.

Note: Before you adjust your CPU host frequency by jumper, you need to

set CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) to Disabled in Chipset Features Setup of
BIOS setup program.

Insert mini-jumper caps properly on JP6 and JP10 to reach desired CPU
Host Frequency, as shown in the following table.
