Installing CPU 12. Installing Drivers & Utilities 11. Installing Operating System (such as, Windows XP) 10. Loading Default BIOS, Setting CPU Frequency 2. Installing CPU Fan & System Fan 3. Installing Memory Module 4. Installing HD, CD-ROM and SATA Disk, etc 9. Connecting Back Panel Ports (Keyboard, Mouse, etc) 8. Installing Other Devices (USB, Front Audio, etc) 5. Connecting Front Panel Cable 6. Connecting ATX Power Cable 7. Installing AGP & PCI Cards 8 3.2 Installation You Have to Know Installing CPU This socket supports FC-PGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in. 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the socket. 3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation. CPU socket lever Socket Pin 1 Golden arrow 9 Installing CPU and System Fans Plug the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan, you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector. GND +12V SENSOR SYSFAN1 Connector GND +12V SENSOR CPUFAN Connector GND +12V SENSOR SYSFAN2 Connector Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so that they cannot support fan monitoring. 10 Installing Memory Modules DIMM slots are designed in black which are very easy to recognize. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place. Tab Pin 1 Key Note: The tabs of the DIMM slot will clip to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM touches the slot's bottom. 11 Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables Connect the 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage. FDD Connector Pin 1 Secondary Slave (4th) Secondary Master (3rd) IDE 2 (Secondary) Pin 1 IDE 1 (Primary) Pin 1 Primary Slave (2nd) Primary Master (1st) ATA 66/100/133 IDE Connector 12 Connecting Front Panel Cable Attach the power LED, speaker and reset switch connectors to the corresponding pins. If you enable "Suspend Mode" item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode. Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing, which is a 2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power switch connector marked SPWR. 13 Connecting ATX Power Cables This motherboard comes with a 20-pin and 4-pin ATX power connector as shown below. Make sure you plug them in the right direction. We strongly recommend you to insert the 4-pin connector before connecting the 20-pin connector. +12V +12V Gro ...
