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.
