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 AthlonXP processor in the socket A. Note
that the CPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to
prevent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following
diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket.
You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face towards the socket
lever.

S

4. Slightly push the AMD AthlonXP processor into the socket
without applying excessive 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 AthlonXP 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 separately
and have it installed. Plug the cable throught 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 hardware 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 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. Please refer to the following diagram.

- 12 -

Step 2.

Set Jumpers

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

2. CPU Frequency

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 any one or two
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the
DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted
into the DIMM bank, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank 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.

- 14 -

Step 5

Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis

1. You may find there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis
and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to
make the back panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case,as
shown below.

2. Position the studs between the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are
used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the them,
for avoiding any electrical shorts in-between.

(If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you need
to tighten the screws to attach the mainboard.)

Note: In most computer housings, you can find 4 or more holes to place studs

for fixing the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes, screw
at least 4 studs to ensure the proper attachment of the mainboard.

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.

Note 1 : The ATX power connector is directional and will not go in

unless the guides match perfectly, making sure that pin#1 is
properly positioned.

Note 2 : Make sure the latch of the ATX power connector clicks into

place to ensure a solid attachment.

Note 3 : Your ATX power supply must be supplied to ACPI+5V

standby power and at least 720mA compatible.
