Hardware Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of the motherboard. The topics
covered in this section are:
q Preparing the motherboard
v Installing the CPU
v Installing the CPU fan
v Installing the memory

q Installing the motherboard
q Connecting cables and setting switches

Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic safety precations.
Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the AC main source
before removing or installing any equipment from/to the computer chassis.

Preparing the Motherboard

The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a CPU and memory. You need
to purchase these to complete this installation.

Installing the CPU

Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or break any pins on
the back. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the
processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.

Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the

1.
socket.
Lift the load plate.There is a protective socket cover on

2.
the load plate to protect the socket when there is no CPU
installed.
Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.

3.
Remove the processor from its protective cover,making sure

4.
you hold it only by the edges.It is a good idea to save the
cover so that whenever you remove the CPU, you have a
safe place to store it.
Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the

5.
socket.
Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out

6.
tilting or sliding it into the socket.
Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you

7.
close and engage the socket lever.

Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in
the socket.

RE O EVM

Installing the CPU Fan

There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the
instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct
for your chassis type and your fan assembly.

Installing Memory DIMMs

Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots
support 256 Mb, 512 Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb DDR2 technologies. There must be at least
one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recom­mendations for installing memory.
q One DIMM:Install into slot 1 or 2. You can install the DIMM into any slot,however,

slot 1 is preferred.

q Two DIMMs:

Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the
motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This
slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed
properly.

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.

2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into

the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock
the DIMM into the connector.

Install into slots 1 and 2. The idea is to not have the DIMMs in adja
cent slots.

DDRII-1
DDRII-2

Installing the Motherboard

The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the chassis
you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an
empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this
step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally
easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into
the chassis.

Note:Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis
covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU
Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.

Hardware Installation

Installing the I/O Shield

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency
transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and
promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis.
Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely. If the I/O shield does
not fit into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the chassis

supplier.

S/PDIF

Short for Sony/Philips Digital Interface,a standard audio file transfer format.S/PDIF
allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another without having
to be converted first to an analog format. Maintaining the viability of a digital signal
prevents the quality of the signal from degrading when it is converted to analog.

√ Output Sampling Rate

- 44.1KHz: This is recommended while playing CD

- 48KHz: This is recommended while playing DVD or Dolby.

- 96KHz: This is recommended while playing DVD-Audio.

√ Output Source

- Output digital audio source: The digital audio format (such as .wav, .mp3,

.midi etc) will come out through S/PDIF-Out.

Speaker Calibration

After you have successfully plugged in speakers and assigned to the right jacks,
you are only one more step to go to enjoy the intended sound.We provide “Speaker
Calibration” to help you check if the speakers are located in the correct position.

Microphone

This page is designed to provide you better microphone / recording quality.
Below picture indicates both “Noise Suppression” & “Acoustic Echo Cancellation”
are both enabled.

Noise Suppression

If you feel that the background noise, especially the sound generated from the fan
inside PC, is too loud? Try “Noise Suppression”, which allows you to cut off and
suppress disturbing noise.

Beam Forming

Also known as “directional recording”, this option lets you do the following: Once
beam forming is enabled; only the sound from certain direction will be recorded. You
will get the best quality if you chose 90° position, which we recommend you to use,
this effectively means that you speak right into the microphone.

Note: A Stereo Microphone is required when using Beam Forming function.
Acoustic Echo Cancellation

This function prevents playback sound from being recorded by microphone together
with your sound. For example, you might have chance to use VOIP function through
Internet with your friends. The voice of your friend will come out from speakers
(playback). However, the voice of your friend might also be recorded into your
microphone then go back to your friend through Internet. In that case, your friend
will hear his/her own voice again. With AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) enabled at
your side, your friend can enjoy the benefit with less echo.
