Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in. 1. 2. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. 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. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation. 3. 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 SENSOR +12V GND +12V SENSOR SYSFAN2 Connector Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so that they cannot support fan monitoring. GND CPUFAN Connector 10 Installing CPU Fan 1. Gently put down the CPU fan on the retention module with four clips aligning correctly to the four holes. Make sure the two levers are in opposite direction. 2. Press down the clips into the holes one by one. Make sure the clips are firmly fixed into the holes. Clip Hole 3. Pull two levers down toward the opposite direction to secure the cpu fan. Note: The picture above may look different from the product you purchased. 11 Installing Memory Modules DIMM slots are designed in Electronic Blue 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. 12 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. Secondary Slave (4th) Secondary Master (3rd) FDD Connector Pin 1 Pin 1 Primary Slave (2nd) Primary Master (1st) ATA 66/100/133 IDE 13 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. 14 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. 15 3.3 Other Installation for Your Reference Setting CPU Voltage and Frequency Setting CPU Core Voltage This motherboard supports Voltage ID (VID) function to detect CPU voltage automatically during power-on. Setting CPU Frequency This motherboard is of CPU jumper-less design; you can set CPU frequency by 1MHz stepping CPU Overclocking in the BIOS. CPU Core Frequency = CPU FSB clock x CPU Ratio. However, all CPU now sold in market belong to "Fixed Multiplier". That means users can not adjust the CPU Ratio but change CPU FSB clock to achieve overclocking only. BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup (Users will do the overclocking at their own risks!!)

Northwood and Prescott CPU could detect the clock ratio automatically; you may not be able to adjust the clock ratio in BIOS manual. Warning: SIS 661FX chipset support maximum 800MHz (200MHz*4) system bus and 66MHz AGP clock; higher clock setting may cause serious system damage. Note: With CPU speed changing rapidly, there might be faster CPU on the market by the time you received this installation guide. This table is kindly for your references only. CPU Ratio CPU FSB (Adjustment manually) 8x, 10x... 24x, 25x, 26x, 27x, 28x FSB = 100MHz-248MHz by 1MHz Stepping CPU Overclocking 16 Connecting Serial ATA To connect a serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don't need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial ATA ports, the one connected on Port0 (SATA1) will be set as the first boot device automatically. Please note that it doesn't support Hot-Plug in function. SATA1 SATA2 17 Adjusting your Hard Disk Setting Except its original 2 sets of parallel IDE, this motherboard supports the latest serial ATA hard disk. If you are unable to find your newly installed serial ATA hard disks on your operating system after having them installed, the problem may lie in the BIOS setting. You can simply adjust BIOS settings to have them work properly. After installing your hard disks properly, you can directly go to BIOS setting screen for adjustment. Simply pressing "Integrated Peripherals SIS OnChip PCI Device SIS Serial ATA Controller" to either enable or disable SATA interface. 18 Connecting AGP 8X Expansion Slot This motherboard provides an AGP 8X slot. The AGP 8X is a bus interface targeted for high-performance 3D graphic. Traditionally AGP used both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock for 4X AGP, and the data transfer rate could achieve 66MHz x 4bytes x 4 = 1056MB/s. Now AGP is moving to AGP 8X mode, which is upgraded to 66MHz x 4bytes x 8 =2.1GB/s. Warning: It is strongly recommended not adjust AGP/PCI voltage/clock when you connect SATA device. It is because when the voltage/clock for AGP/PCI is adjusted, the SATA clock cannot remain at 100MHz, and the system will therefore be unstable. Warning: It is strongly recommended not install a 3.3V AGP card, which is not supported by SIS 661FX chipsets on this motherboard. 19 Connecting IrDA The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Windows Direct Cable Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector supports both HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps). Install an infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from BIOS Setup, UART Mode, you can use this function. Please make sure you connect correct orientation when plugging IrDA module. Pin 1 20
