CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Essential Handling Precautions

IMPORT ANT . Read this page before unpacking your motherboard!

• Power Supply

Be careful! Always ensure that the computer is disconnected from the power supply when working on the motherboard and its components.

• Static

Static electricity may cause damage to the delicate integrated circuit chips on your motherboard. Before handling the motherboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body . To avoid this risk, please observe these simple precautions while handling the motherboard and other computer components:

1. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap. This fits around your wrist and is connected to a natural earth ground.

2. Touch a grounded or anti-static surface, or a metal fixture such as a pipe or the chassis of your system, before touching the motherboard.

3. When you have removed the motherboard from its anti-static packaging, try to hold it only by the edges, without touching any components.

4. Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards, and modules with the golden fingers (gold-colored connectors) which plug into the expansion slots.

5. It is safest to handle system components only by their mounting brackets.

6. Keep components which are not connected to the system in the anti-static packaging whenever possible. These precautions help to reduce the risk of static build-up and ensure any static discharge is harmless to your equipment.

••

• Battery Replacement

••

The battery which holds the system settings memory on your motherboard should not require replacement for at least five years, and probably much longer. In picture 2.2, it is located near the bottom right hand corner.

2 INTRODUCTION

Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended by the manufacturer. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of a short circuit or explosion. Used batteries should disposed of according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

••

• Electric Screwdrivers

••

T o reduce the risk of damage to the motherboard due to excessive torque, avoid setting electric screwdrivers above 7.5 kg/cm.

1.2 Checklist: Hardware Required for Setup

It is advisable to have all of these items of hardware available

Diagram 2: The Intel Processor Type

2. There are three types of Intel Processor compatible with your motherboard’s URM. The Intel Celeron™ Processor (Single Edge Processor Package or SEPP), the Intel Pentium II Processor (Single Edge Context Cartridge or SECC) and the Intel Pentium ® III Processor (also SECC). Please refer to Diagram 2. If your URM is not compatible with your motherboard, please contact your motherboard retailer . See Diagram 2

3. T o install the CPU, carefully slide it into the URM. If you have a Pentium II CPU, you will need to press in the Processor Latches to install it.

4. When the URM is installed on the PC Board, move the slider to the lock position to lock the CPU. T o remove the CPU, push the Slider down to the Open position to unlock it.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION 9

• Installing the Intel Processor

Step 1: Install the Processor into Slot 1

Slide the processor into the URM assembly and insert it into Slot 1, while making sure that the heat sink assembly is facing towards the chipset, as shown in the figure. Press down firmly on the CPU until it is fully seated in the Slot 1 connector.

IMPORTANT: The Slot 1 connector is directionally

keyed and the processor will not go in unless it is properly oriented. DO NOT apply excessive force when installing the CPU.

Step 2: Lock the CPU in the URM Lock the processor into the URM by pushing the top-right and top-left latches to the outward position as shown in the illustration.

• Removing the Processor

Step 1: Unlock the CPU by pushing the top-right and top-left latches inward. Step 2: Push both slides on the URM right and left branches downward. Step 3: Remove the processor by pulling it upward while holding the two slides in the down position.

2.4 66/100/133MHz System Configuration

Jumper 1 (JP1) allows you to set the FSB (Front Side Bus) to 66, 100 or 133MHz configuration. When you set the FSB to 66MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 66MHz to 95MHz through “CPU Host/PCI clock” in “Chipset Features Setup” (Please refer to page 31). When you set the FSB to 100MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 100MHz to 124MHz through “CPU Host/PCI clock” in “Chipset Features Setup” (Please refer to page 31). When you set the FSB to 133MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 124MHz to 150MHz through ”CPU Host/PCI clock” in “Chipset Features Setup” (Please refer to page 31).

NOTE: If you are not familar with this feature, we recommend you set this jumper to “AUTO”.

2.5 CPU Internal Frequency Ratio Setting

Switch 1 (SW1) is for adjusting the CPU’s internal frequency ratio. The frequency ratio settings are shown in the table shown overleaf. The internal frequency can be calculated by the following formula:

CPU internal frequency = frequency ratio x system bus frequency *

* System bus frequency is set in “CPU Host/PCI Clock” of “Chipset Features Setup” in BIOS SETUP MENU (Please refer to page 31 ).

NOTE: Because Intel has locked the frequency ratio for new CPUs, setting SW1 to adjust the frequency ratio is useless. However , it is effective for old version CPUs.
