Mother Board 8S648FX-RZ Motherboard 8S648FX-RZ Mar. 20 ,2004 Mar. 20, 2004 Preparing Your Computer Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. 2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. 3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components. 4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system. 5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard. Installing the motherboard to the chassis 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 become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little 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 plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage. 3. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. 4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan. 5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent damage will result. 6. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications. We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Memory, Cards...etc. HT functionality requirement content : Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all of the following platform components: - CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology - Chipset: An SiS ® Chipset that supports HT Technology - BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled - OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology 8S648FX-RZ Series Motherboard -8- Step 1-1: CPU Installation Socket Actuation Lever English Figure 1. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly. Figure 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Insert the CPU into the socket. (Do not force the CPU into the socket.) Then move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the CPU. Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation Figure 1. Apply the thermal tape(or grease) to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan. Figure 2. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base onto the CPU socket on the motherboard. Figure 3. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector, than install complete. -9- Hardware Installation Process English Step 2: Install Memory Modules Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets. Notch -C DDR 1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. 8S648FX-RZ Series Motherboard - 10 - Step 3: Install AGP Card 1. Read the relateAGP card's instruction document before install the AGP card into the computer. 2. If your AGP card has "AGP 8X/4X(1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 8X/4X(1.5V). English AGP 4X/8X notch 3. Please carefully pull out ...
