2.3 CPU Installation
The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that you bought must have a fan attached
to it to prevent overheating. If there is no fan on it, please purchase a fan before you turn on your
system.
W ARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the processor’s passive heatsink. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage
both the processor and the motherboard. Y ou may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary .
T o install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover . Locate the ZIF socket and open
it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The picture below is for reference only . Y ou should have a CPU fan to cover the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the
CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket/s
lever while holding down the CPU.

2.4 66/100MHz System Configuration
The jumper 2 (JP2) allows you to set FSB (Front Side Bus) to be 66 or 100MHz configuration.
When you set FSB to 66MHz, you can select the system bus frequency from 66MHz to 83.3MHz
through “CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI)” of “Chipset Features Setup” in BIOS (Please refer to page
26). When you set FSB to 100MHz, you can select the system bus frequency from 100MHz to
150MHz through “CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI)” of “Chipset Features Setup” in BIOS (Please
refer to page 26).
NOTE: Because Celeron socket 370 CPU now can support 66MHz FSB only , we strongly
recommend that you set JP2 as 66MHz. Otherwise it may cause system damaged. If
Intel releases new version Celeron CPU to support 100MHz FSB, then you can set JP2
as 100MHz to increase system performance.

2.5 CPU Internal Frequency Ratio Setting
The switch 1 (SW1) is designated for adjusting the CPU internal frequency ratio. The frequency
ratio is defined as the table shown below. 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 Clock (CPU/PCI)” of “Chipset Features Setup” in
BIOS (Please refer to page 26).
NOTE: Because Intel has locked the Socket 370 Celeron CPU’s frequency ratio, setting
SW1 to adjust the frequency ratio is useless. Howerer, it may be effective if Intel unlocks
the frequency ratio in the future.

2.8 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (T wo 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 that make total of four devices. In order to work together , two devices on each channel must be set differently to master
and slave mode, either one can be hard disk or CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode
depends on the jumper on your IDE devices. Please refer to their manual accordingly . Connect
your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel.
