PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
·It's easy to get overly excited about your purchase, and to jump right into installing the system board into your case. Too many times, people fail to read the manual or insist on installing it themselves, only to find out later that they've permanently damaged their motherboard and as well as their components. Though this manual will make installation seem like a fairly simple procedure, it is not. So, if you're not a technophile or have little or no computer knowledge, consider asking your vendor or a trained technician to install this board.
SET SW1, SW2, SW3 TO CONFIGURE THE BOARD FOR YOUR CPU
·It's fairly easy to forget a jumper or two, so before you power on your system, make sure to check & double check your settings so that you don't prematurely burn out your CPU.
INSERT THE CPU INTO THE ZIF SOCKET
·Pull up the handle and insert the CPU with the dotted corner aligned with the corner of the ZIF socket that looks like its missing a pinhole. Plug it in and pull down on the handle.
INSTALL YOUR MEMORY INTO THE CORRECT SOCKETS
·Insert your memory into the corresponding DIMM or SIMM sockets. Follow the instructions outlined in the memory section of this manual.
INSTALL THE MAINBOARD ONTO THE SYSTEM CHASSIS
·Make sure the mainboard is properly grounded and mounted into the case. Take time to do this properly as it makes the installation of your cards and cables easier.
CONNECT AND INSTALL YOUR CARDS & I/O CABLES
·Be sure your cables and cards are properly oriented and plugged in firmly. See the helpful hint page for tips on connecting your i/o cables.
GUIDE INSTALLATION
CONNECT YOUR CASE LED & SWITCH CABLES TO THE BOARD CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLES TO THE BOARD
·See the mainboard diagram page for tips on connecting your power cables.
POWER ON AND GO INTO BIOS AND SETUP YOUR SYSTEM
·Press during memory check phase of POST and see the BIOS setup pages of this manual for more details on setting up your system's configuration. If you get a blank screen, refer to the troubleshooting section for some tips on solving this problem.
GET YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING
·Bootup your OS and see if the board and all your peripherals are recognized and working.
