System diagram of the INTEL 815E Chipset SE6 Installing the Motherboard 2-1 Chapter 2. Installing the Motherboard This SE6 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 of the standard equipment and will also present, as completely as possible, future upgrade capabilities. This motherboard is able to support Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors now on the market. (For details, see specifications in Chapter 1.) This chapter is organized according the following features: 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 Installing the Motherboard to the Chassis Installation of the Pentium III / Celeron CPU Installing System Memory Connectors, Headers and Switches &&&& Before Proceeding with the Installation &&&& Before you install or unplug any connectors or add-on cards, please remember to turn the ATX power supply switch off (fully turn the +5V standby power off), or disconnect the power cord. Otherwise, you may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or be damaged. User Friendly Instructions Our objective is to enable the novice computer users 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-bystep. 2-1. Installing the Motherboard to the Chassis 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: ! with studs ! or with spacers Figure 2-1 shows the shape of studs and spacers. There may be several types, but all look similar. In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with studs. 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 them 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. Figure 2-2 shows you the way to affix the motherboard using studs or spacers. User's Manual 2-2 Chapter2 Note: If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not despair, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacers may be a little hard to cut, so mind your fingers). In this way, you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface as the circuit wire may be too near the hole. Be careful. Do not let the screw contact the printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole. Otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning. 2-2. Installation of the Pentium III 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. Note: 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. Please refer to your boxed processor installation or other documentation attached with your CPU for detailed installing instructions. 2-3. Installing System Memory This motherboard provides three 168-pin DIMM sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 32MB to maximum memory size of 512MB SDRAM. In order to create a memory array, certain rules must be followed. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations. ! The memory array is 64 or 72 bits wide. (Depending on with or without parity) ! Those modules can be populated in any order. ! Supports single and double density DIMMS. Table 2-1. Valid Memory Configurations Bank Bank 0, 1 (DIMM1) Bank 2, 3 (DIMM2) Bank 4, 5 (DIMM3) Memory Module 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB Total System Memory Total Memory 32MB ~ 512MB 32MB ~ 512MB 32MB ~ 512MB 32MB ~ 512MB Generally, installing SDRAM modules to your motherboard is an easy thing to do. You can refer to figure 2-3 to see what a 168-pin PC100 & PC133 SDRAM module looks like. DIMMs may be "snapped" directly into the socket. Note: Certain DIMM sockets have minor physical differences. If your module doesn't seem to fit, please do not force it into the socket as you may damaged your memory module or DIMM socket. Figure 2-3 PC100/PC133 Module and Component Mark The following procedure will show you how to install a DIMM module into a DIMM socket. SE6 Installing the Motherboard 2-3 Step 1. Before you install the memory module, please place the computer power switch in the "OFF" position and disconnect the AC power cord. Step 2. Remove the computer's chassis cover. Step 3. Before touching any electronic components, make sure you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity stored on your clothing or body. Step 4. Locate your computer's 168-pin memory expansion DIMM socket. Step 5. Insert the DIMM module into the expansion socket as shown in the illustration. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. You can refer to figure 2-4 for the details. This insures the DIMM module will be plugged into the socket in one way only. Firmly press the DIMM module into the DIMM socket, making certain the module is completely seated in the DIMM socket. Figure 2-4. Memory module installation Step 6. Once the DIMM module has been installed, the installation is complete and the computer's cover can be replaced. Or you can continue to install other devices and add-on cards that are mentioned in the following section. Note: When you install a DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket, the eject tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides. It is difficult to differentiate between the PC100, PC133 SDRAM and VCM DRAM modules from the exterior. The only way to identify them is through the sticker on the RAM module. 2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches 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. We will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches here, and tell you how to connect them. Please pay attention and read the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all of the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. Figure 2-5 shows you all of the connectors and headers that we'll discuss in the next section, you can use this diagram to visually locate each connector and header we describe. All connectors, headers and switches mentioned here will depend upon your system configuration. Some features you may (or may not) have and need to connect or configure depending on the peripheral. If your system doesn't have such add-on cards or switches you can ignore some special feature connectors. User's Manual 2-4 Chapter2 Figure 2-5. All Connectors and Headers for the SE6 First, Let's look at the headers that the SE6 uses, and what their functions are. SE6 Installing the Motherboard 2-5 damaged by overheating.
