Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü Don’t remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it into a computer case.
ü Before you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built­up static electricity.
ü Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting bracket.
Installing the CPU
ü WARNING: Use of a CPU Cooling Fan to prevent CPU overheating is highly
recommended. The Fan should be installed first before inserting the CPU into its socket.
1. Locate the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 7. This
socket supports Pentium (P5) CPUs (75-233Mhz).
2. First open the socket by pulling the lever sideways,
then upwards. Notice how the lever locks in place when pressed all the way down.
3. The CPU must be inserted with the correct orientation.
One corner of the CPU has a “notch” and looks different that the other three. This corner is also missing a pin unlike the other three and is marked with a white dot on top of the CPU. Align this corner towards the end of the lever as shown in the figure below. Insert the CPU, hold it down, and close the lever until it locks into place.
Connecting the CPU Cooling Fan (J17, J18)
J17 and J18 are small 3-pin Header Connectors that provide 12-Volt power for CPU Cooling Fans. Choose the one convenient to your installation.
This mainboard features a fan monitoring function to alert you when the cooling fan starts to malfunction (Refer to page 30). If you are using a fan with the standard 4-pin Molex-Type Power-Supply connector, you should use the fan adaptive cable provided as shown:
INSTALLING THE CPU AND MEMORYINSTALLING THE CPU AND MEMORY
P5T30-A4 User’s ManualP5T30-A4 User’s Manual
1010
Plug the Molex-Type connector of the adaptive cable to the fan’s power connector and plug the other 3-pin Header Connector to J17 or J18, regardless of the polarity. If your Fan provides this 3-pin Header Connector, simply plug it into J17 or J18, regardless of the polarity.
Setting the CPU Clock Selection Jumper (JBF0-2 & JFS0-2)
After installing the CPU, you must set the clock selection jumper to match the frequency of the CPU. Find the Jumper Blocks labeled JBF0-2 and JFS0-2 on the mainboard (Refer to the diagram on page 8). Set the jumper according to the table below for your CPU frequency.

The Internal (Core) frequency corresponds to the number marked on the CPU. The External Frequency when multiplied with the Ratio gives the CPU's internal frequency.
Bus Clock (JFS0-2): MHz Ratio (JBF0-2)
This jumper automatically sets the ISA Clock as well. * If you are uncertain about the speed or voltage requirements of your particular CPU, you
should obtain Technical Documentation from the manufacturer. Such information is available via the Intel, Cyrix and AMD WWW sites.
Setting the CPU Voltage Selection Jumper (JP5)
Locate Jumper JP5 on the mainboard (Refer to the diagram on page 8). Set this jumper in accordance with your specific CPU type. The Intel MMX CPU is an example of a dual supply chip (2.8V & 3.3V). When single supply CPUs are used, this setting is not relevant and should be left on the default. (Refer to the CPU documentation)
