CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Essential Handling Precautions

IMPORTANT. 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 Electricity

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. T o 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. T ouch 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

••

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

2.3 66/100/133 MHz System Configuration

The JP2 Jumper allows you to set the FSB (Front Side Bus) to either 66/100/133MHz configuration. When you set the FSB to 66MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 66MHz to 75MHz through “CPU Host/PCI Clock” of “Frequency/V oltage Control” in the BIOS Setup menu (please refer to page 44). When you set the FSB to 100MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 100MHz to 124MHz through “CPU Host/PCI Clock” of “Frequency/ V oltage Control” in the BIOS Setup menu (please refer to page 44). When you set the FSB to 133MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 133MHz to 150MHz through “CPU HOST / PCI Clock” of “Frequency / Voltage Control” in the BIOS Setup menu (please refer to page

44).

2.4 Memory Configuration

This motherboard must be installed with PC100 / PC133 SDRAM DIMM. If you install one DIMM, place it in the DIMM1 slot. If you install two DIMMs, place them in slots DIMM1 and DIMM2. If you install three DIMMs, you can only install single sided DIMMs onto the DIMM2 and DIMM3 slots, not double-sided DIMMs. Install memory in any combination as follows:

2.6 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-pin IDE)

This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 (primary channel) and IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices, making a total of four devices. Connect your Hard Disk (the main one if you are using more than one) to the “Master” connector (at the end of the cable) and connect it to IDE1 (see important note below). If your HDD supports Ultra DMA/66, you must use an 80-wire cable, otherwise the HDD won’t be able to reach this speed. If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to “Master” mode, the other to “Slave” mode. A Hard Disk, CD ROM or other IDE device can have either setting, depending on device’s jumper. Please refer to the device’s manual for more information.

NOTE: The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels the right way round. Make sure that the red stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could also be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the picture below).

2.7 Floppy Disk Drive Connector (34-pin FDC)

This connector supports the floppy disk drive ribbon cable which is one of the items in your motherboard package. After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other end to the floppy drives. Remember, as in the last section, the red stripe on the edge of the ribbon cable must be the nearest to PIN 1, otherwise your connection won’t work. This means it must be on the left as the motherboard is shown below.

2.8 Fan Power Connectors

There are three fan power connectors on the motherboard: CPU-FAN, POWER-F AN, and CASEFAN. Each connector provides +12V power . The cables can only be attached a certain way: If you try to put them in the wrong way , they won’t fit. These connectors support cooling fans of 500 mA (6W) or less.

2.9 Wake-on-LAN Connector (3-pin WOL)

This connector connects to LAN cards with a Wake-on-LAN output. The system can be Powered Up when a wakeup packet or signal is received from the LAN card.

NOTE:This function requires that the “Wake-Up by PCI & WOL” function in the “Power Management Setup” is set to “Enabled” and that your system has an A TX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.

2.10 IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (10-pin IrDA)

The IrDA connector can be configured to support a wireless infrared module. With this module and application software such as Laplink or Win95 Direct Cable Connection, users can transfer files to or from laptops (notebooks), PDAs and printers. You must also configure the setting through “UART Mode Select” in the “Integrated Peripherals” (please refer to page 34) to select “IrDA”. Connect the Standard IR (SIR) device to the onboard SIR connector according to the pin definitions. An optional Consumer Infrared (CIR) set connects to the CIR and SIR connectors simultaneously for both wireless transmitting and remote control functions through one external infrared module.
