Hardware Setup Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged. 2-1. Install The Motherboard Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securely attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base: 1. use with studs 2. or use with spacers In principle, the best way to attach the board is to use with studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on. ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with. User's Manual 2-2 Chapter 2 2-2. Install Pentium® 4 CPU and Heatsink Supporting-Base This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 478 to install Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan along with. If that's not the case, buy one specially designed for Pentium® 4 Socket 478. 1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard. Fasten the Retention Module Base onto the motherboard. ATTENTION: If you are using chassis specially designed for Pentium® 4, please pay attention to the location of metal studs or spacers if they are already installed on the chassis. Be careful not let the metal studs or spacers contact the printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB. 2. Pull the CPU socket lever sideways away from the socket and then upwards to 90 degree. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. Do not use extra force to insert CPU; it only fits in one orientation. Close down the socket lever while holding down the CPU. Put the heatsink faces down onto the CPU until it completely covers the CPU. Put the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly onto the heatsink. Make sure all the four Retention Locks at each side of the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly snap into the Retention Holes. Push down the Retention Lock at both sides of the Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly to lock up together with the Retention Module Base. The Fan and Retention Mechanism Assembly and Retention Module Base should now firmly lock up with each other with the heatsink inside. 3. 4. 5. 6.
