Secure the mainboard with screws where appropriate. Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case, which correspond to the holes in the mainboard. Place the mainboard over the mounting brackets and secure the mainboard onto the mounting brackets with screws. 1. Place the mainboard over the mounting brackets. Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion slots on your mainboard. Checking Jumper Settings This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard. Setting Jumpers Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN. This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT. Short Open 12 3 7 Checking Jumper Settings The following illustration shows the location of the mainboard jumpers. Pin 1 is labeled. Jumper Settings Jumper Type Description Clear CMOS Memory jumper Setting (default) 1-2: Normal 2-3: Clear CMOS JP2 1 JP2 3-pin JT1 ~ JT11 Short all JT1~JT10 pins: DDR Open all JT1~JT10 pins: SDRAM JT1 ~ JT11 20-pin DDR/SDR DRAM Type Selector JP2: Clear CMOS Memory Jumper This jumper can clear the CMOS memory. You may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect that your mainboard can't operate. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables, and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds. 8 JT1~JT11: DDR/SDR DRAM Type Selector This jumper enables to select DDR or SDR DRAM type use. Connecting Case Components After you have installed the mainboard into a case, you can begin connecting the mainboard components. Refer to the following: 1. Connect the power connector from the power supply to the PW1 connector on the mainboard. Connect the CPU cooling fan cable to CPU FAN. If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the cable from the cooling fan to the CHS FAN fan power connector on the mainboard. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the PANEL1 header. If there is another power-on indicator LED installed in the system chassis, connect the LED to the PLED1 header. Connect the cable from the PC speaker to the SPKR1 header on the mainboard.

For the LED to function properly, an IDE drive should be connected to the onboard IDE interface. The LED will also show activity for devices connected to the SCSI (hard drive activity LED) connector. Power / Sleep / Message Waiting LED Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single- or dual-color, front panel mounted LED provides power on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication. Reset Switch Supporting the reset function requires connecting pins 5 and 7 to a momentary-contact switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board resets and runs POST. Power Switch Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momentary-contact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry. After receiving a power on/off signal, at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on/off signal. 11 Installing Hardware Installing the Processor Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components. On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed. Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the mainboard and processor socket. Before installing the Processor This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed. Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits. This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory. CPU Installation Procedure The following illustration shows CPU installation components: 12 Follow these instructions to install the Retention Module and CPU: 1. 2. Remove the existing retention module (if applicable). Position the backplate against the underside of the mainboard; secure the 4 screws firmly on the retention module. Note: Do not over tighten the screws. 3. Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the socket and lift up to 90degree angle. 4. Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pinhole noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU correctly. 13 5. Press the lever down. 6. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU. 7. Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into place. 8. Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place. 9. Connect the CPU Cooling Fan power cable to the CPUFAN1 connector. This completes the installation. Notes: · · To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary. Installing Memory Modules This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V unbuffered SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). The CPU supports 100MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs and DDRs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over a 133 MHz memory bus. Note: Please set the correct jumper settings for JT1~JT11 first as described on page 8 of this chapter. 14 SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by SDRAM. Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules. Note: You must install at least one memory module in order to work out this mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you can't use them simultaneously. Refer to the following to install the memory modules. 1. 2. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM slot: 3. Latch Cutout Notch Latch Notches Latch Cutouts Latch 15 DDR SDRAM Module SDRAM Module 4. 5. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM. Install any remaining DIMM modules. Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive and a CD-ROM drive. About IDE Devices Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the mainboard. If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel. IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user's manual. When installing two IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains how to do this. About UltraDMA This mainboard supports UltraDMA 33/66/100. UDMA is a technology that accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables that support UDMA 33/66/100. Installing a Hard Disk Drive 1. 2. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A): Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a 16
