Layout Diagram User's Manual 1-4 Chapter 1 AV8 Hardware Setup 2-1 Chapter 2. 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 CPU and Heatsink This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 939 to install AMD Socket 939 CPU. The CPU you bought should contain with a kit of heatsink, cooling fan, retention frame and blackplate. If that's not the case, buy one specially designed for Socket 939. Please refer to the figure shown here to install CPU and heatsink. (For reference only. Your Heatsink & Fan Assembly may not be exactly the same as this one.) 1. Locate the Socket 939 on this motherboard. Pull the CPU release lever sideways to unlatch and then raise it all the way up. Drop the processor with its pin side down into the CPU socket. Do not use extra force to insert CPU; it only fits in one direction. Close the CPU release lever. Align the Backplate Standoffs with the mounting holes on motherboard. Position the backplate onto motherboard. Place the Retention Frame onto the motherboard and align it with the Backplate Standoffs. Place heatsink on top of CPU, and make sure the heatsink fits properly on the retention frame. Hook both sides of the Spring Clip onto the Mounting Tabs of Retention Frame. Tighten screws until the Spring Clip is fully installed. Attach the fan connector of Heatsink & Fan Assembly with the CPU-FAN connector on the motherboard. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. ATTENTION: Do not forget to set the correct bus frequency and multiple for your processor. AV8 Hardware Setup 2-3 2-3. Install System Memory This motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR DIMM slots for Single/Dual Channel DDR 400/333/266 memory modules with memory expansion size up to 4GB. Table 2-1.

When installing FOUR DIMM modules: Install DIMM modules of the same type and size for slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM2], and slots [DIMM3]+[DIMM4]. NOTE: Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup requires after adding or removing memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any memory module related problem occurs. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. 1. 2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away of touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. 3. 4. 5. ATTENTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly. AV8 Hardware Setup 2-5 2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches Here we will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches, and how to connect them. Please read the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. A complete enlarged layout diagram is shown in Chapter 1 for all the position of connectors and headers on the board that you may refer to. WARNING: Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully checked everything. (1). ATX Power Input Connectors This motherboard provides two power connectors to connect to an ATX12V power supply. NOTE: It is recommended to connect to a power supply with 350W, 20A +5VDC capacity at least for heavily loaded system, and 2A +5VSB capacity at least for supporting wake-up features. User's Manual 2-6 Chapter 2 (2). FAN Connectors These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. The CPU must be kept cool by using a powerful fan with heatsink. The system is capable of monitoring the speed of the CPU fan. · · · · CPUFAN1: CPU Fan NBFAN1: Chipset Fan SYSFAN1: System Fan AUXFAN1, AUXFAN2: Auxiliary Fan WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers.
