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 PPGA/FC-PGA processor in the socket 370. Note that the CPU
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.

4. Slightly push the PPGA/FC-PGA 370processor into the socket without ap­plying ex cessive 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 PPGA/FC-PGA 370 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 in stalled. Plug the cable from heatsink/fan to CPUfan power
connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU fan
connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware
monitoring f unction, 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 t o the system’s power supply unit.

10

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 in any of the following cases:

1. Over-clock your CPU

2. Clear CMOS

3. Change CODEC

4. Choose Microphone-Out Port

For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the
default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with 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 SDRAM System Memory

To install memory, insert SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).
Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM slots
unless they are properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the
DIMM slot, 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 board each device according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and
CD-ROM have to set jumpers on Master or Slave mode depending
on your willing to install more than one device for 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 in 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 through 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 it is not properly positioned.

12

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 a
correct mounting hole, 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 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 shortage between the
board and the metal frame of 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 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.

13

Step 6

Connect Front-Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors

You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originati ng from the computer’s front-panel devices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, or USB devices etc.) These cables
serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, USB connectors to the
mainboard’s front -panel connectors group(PANEL1, JUSB1) , as shown
below.

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
partition(s) to occupy all the space available in 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 decide 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.

21

Step 13

Install Driver & S oftware Components

Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x
operating systems only. Make sure your Windows 9x operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.

1. Insert the MV21 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
auto-run program will display the drivers main installation window on
screen.

2. Select the Mainboard related program.

3. Install VIA 4-in-1drivers to complete the installation.

4. Return to the main installation window and select the Audio Device
related program to complete the installation.

5. Install VIA Audio driver.

6. Return to the main installation window and exit from the auto-run drivers
setup program..

22

3.2 Jumper Settings

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to con­nect jumper pins to the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of
each jumper; you just find a location marked with a while right angle, which
stands for pin1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:

3-pin and multi-pin (>3) jumpers show as follows:
Pin #1 to the left:

Pin #1 on the top:

Pin #1 to the right:

Jumpers with two pins are shown as for Close [On] or for
Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap 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 the top of
its original packaging film and 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.
