TM Introduction Of BH6 Features (2) Layout Diagram 1-3 Figure 1-1 Motherboard Component Locations 1-4 (3) The System Block Diagram Chapter 1 Installing the Motherboar 2-1 Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard This BH6 motherboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future upgrade demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all the standard equipment and will also present, as completely as possible, future upgrade capabilities. This motherboard is able to support all Intel® Pentium® II/III processors and Intel® CeleronTMprocessor now on the market. (For details, see specifications in Chapter 1.) This chapter is organized according the following features: (4) (5) Installing the Motherboard to the Casing Standard external connectors Jumpers and switches Installation of the Pentium®II/III, CeleronTM CPU Installing the system memory 1111 Before proceeding with the installation Before installing the motherboard please be sure to turn off or disconnect the power supply unit. Before making any modifications to the hardware configuration of the motherboard, the power supply to any areas of the motherboard you plan to modify should be turned off to avoid unnecessary damage to the hardware. ) User friendly instructions Our objective is to enable the novice computer user to perform the installation by themselves. We have attempted to write this document in a very clear, concise and descriptive manner to help overcome any obstacles you may face during installation. Please read our instructions carefully and follow them step-by-step. 2-2 Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard to the Casing Most computer chassis will have a base on which there will be many mounting holes that allows the motherboard to be securely attached and at the same time, prevents short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the base of chassis: zwith stud zor with spacer Please refer the figure below show the studs and spacers, they may have several types, but all look like the figure below: In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with studs, and only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Take a careful look at the motherboard and you will see many mounting holes on it. Line these holes up with the mounting holes on the base. If the holes line up, and there are screw holes this means you can attach the motherboard with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, this means you can only attach the motherboard with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert it into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the motherboard into position aligned with the slots. After the motherboard has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the casing back on. The figure below will show you the way to fix the motherboard using with the stub and spacer: Installing the Motherboar 2-3 Note: If the motherboard has mounting holes, but don't line up with the holes on the base and their are no slots to attach the spacers, don't worry, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the button portion of spacers (the spacer may be a little and hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastics spring for isolate the screw from motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful don't let the screw to contact any printed circuit wire and parts on PCB that near by the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause the board malfunction. 2-4 Chapter 2 Standard External Connectors Inside the case of any computer several cables and plugs have to be connected. These cables and plugs are usually connected one-by-one to connectors located on the motherboard. You need to carefully pay attention to any connection orientation the cables may have and, if any, notice the position of the first pin of the connector. In the explanations that follow, we will describe the significance of the first pin. PN1(Pin 1-2-3-4-5): Keylock and Power LED Header There is a specific orientation for pin 1 through pin 5. Insert the two-threaded keylock cable into pin 4 and pin 5, and three-threaded power LED cable to Pin 1~pin 3. Check to make sure the correct pins of connector on the motherboard.

See Figure 1-1 for jumper locations. Throughout this section, the following symbols are used to indicate jumper settings. For 3-pin jumpers, the symbols below are used: Short Pins 1 and 2 with a jumper cap. Short Pins 2 and 3 with a jumper cap. For 2-pins jumpers, the following symbols are used: Place the jumper cap over the two pins of the jumper to Short the jumper. Remove the jumper cap to Open the jumper cap. Note: To avoid losing jumper caps, attach the removed jumper cap to one of the jumper pins. 2-10 Chapter 2 CCMOS 1: CMOS Discharge Jumper Jumper CCMOS discharge CMOS memory. When you install the motherboard, make sure this jumper is set for Normal Operation(1-2). See the jumper below. Setting CCMOS Normal Operation (Default) Discharge CMOS (4) Installation of the Pentium®II/III, CeleronTM CPU The installation method for the CPU is printed on the package of the retention mechanism that comes with the motherboard. You can refer to it while you install the CPU. This motherboard also supports the CeleronTM PPGA processor. If you want to install the CeleronTM PPGA processor, you have to use an additional adapter that allows you to use a CeleronTM PPGA processor in a slot 1 board. For this ABIT makes the SlotKET® adapter. Note: z Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and damage of your CPU. z Please refer to your boxed processor installation or other documentation attached with your CPU for detailed installing instructions. Installing the Motherboar 2-11 (5)Installing System Memory The motherboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion.. The DIMM socket supports 1Mx64(8MB), 2Mx64(16MB), 4Mx64(32MB), 8Mx64(64MB), 16Mx64(128MB), and 32Mx64(256MB) or double sided DIMM modules. Minimum memory size is 8MB and maximum memory size is 768MB SDRAM. There are three Memory module sockets on the system board.(Total six banks) In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations. z The memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (Without parity or with parity) z Those modules can be populated in any order. z Support single and double density DIMMS. The following is the valid memory configuration: Bank Memory Module Bank 0, 1 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, (DIMM1) 64MB, 128MB, 256MB Bank 2, 3 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, (DIMM2) 64MB, 128MB, 256MB Bank 4, 5 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, (DIMM3) 64MB, 128MB, 256MB Total System Memory Total Memory 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 256MB 8MB ~ 768MB 2-12 Chapter 2 Supported SDRAM Memory Configurations DRAM DRAM DRAM DRAM DRAM DIMM DRAM MA DARM Size Type Tech Depth Width SS x64 SDRAM 16M 1M 2M 2M 4M 4M SDRAM 64M 2 Bank 2M 2M 4M 4M 8M 16M SDRAM 64M 4 Bank 2M 4M 8M 16M 16 8 8 4 4 32 32 16 16 8 4 32 16 8 4 1M 2M 2M 4M 4M 2M 2M 4M 4M 8M 16M 2M 4M 8M 16M DS x64 2M 4M 4M 8M 8M 4M 4M 8M 8M 16M 32M 4M 8M 16M 32M Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric Asymmetric 12 12 13 12 14 12 13 12 14 14 14 13 14 14 14 8 9 8 10 8 9 8 10 8 9 10 8 8 9 10 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 Addressing Row Col Banks Min Max (1 row) (2 row) 8MB 16MB 16MB 32MB 16MB 32MB 32MB 64MB 32MB 64MB 16MB 32MB 16MB 32MB 32MB 64MB 32MB 64MB 64MB 128MB 128MB 256MB 16MB 32MB 32MB 64MB 64MB 128MB 128MB 256MB
