This Mainboard and the Device Driver The Slot1 holder This UserÕs Guide Sound & Game ribbon cables/bracket ATX Form Card (optional) The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity. Follow the precautions below while unpacking or installing the mainboard. 1. 2. Do not remove the mainboard from its original package until you are ready to install it. Frequently ground yourself to discharge any static electric charge that may build up in your body while working on installation and/or configuration. For example, you may ground yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of the systemÕs metal chassis. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging and place it on a grounded surface, component side up. Handle the mainboard by its edges or by the mounting bracket to avoid touching its components. Check the mainboard for damage. If any integrated circuit appears loose, press carefully to seat it firmly in its socket. Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is damage to the board contact your dealer immediately. 3. 4. 5. 6. Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration Before you install the mainboard into the system chassis, you may find it convenient to first configure the mainboardÕs hardware. This chapter describes how to set jumpers and install memory modules, and where to attach components. 6 Chapter 2 CPU Installation This mainboard supports Intel Pentium¨ II CPU using a Single Edge Contact (SEC) slot. Make sure that you have the following items (which should be included in the package) before doing any installation. All parts are labeled here with item numbers which will be refered to in the Installation Procedures section. Item 1 and 2 together are the retention mechanism, please refer to following procedures to complete your CPU installation. 1) 4 screws: 2) 1 retention clip: Hardware Configuration 7 Installation Procedures Follow the following steps in order to install your Intel Pentium ¨ II properly. Step 1: Make sure that the mainboard is set the same direction as the following drawing before doing any installation. 8 Chapter 2 Step 2: There are 2 sets of small holes along Slot 1 of your mother board: two on the top and two on the bottom. Snap the retention clip (2) right into those 2 sets of holes PW1 Item 2 Slot 1 If the retention clip is installed incorrectly, you will not be able to insert the retention clip into the CPU and in this situation you might need to rotate the retention clip by 180¡.

The setup program provided with the mainboard is the BIOS from AMI. After you have configured the mainboard and have assembled the components, turn on the computer and run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct. The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) programming. You use the BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices are connected to your system board. The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally, you need to run system setup if either the hardware is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or if the CMOS RAM has lost power. Note: Hold down the key then power on to reboot the system when installing newer BIOS into this mainboard . 20 Chapter 4 Entering BIOS Setup To enter the BIOS Setup program: 1. Turn on or reboot the system. A screen appears with a series of diagnostic checks. When ÒHit if you want to run SETUPÓ appears, press the key to enter the BIOS setup program. The following screen appears: 2. AMIBIOS SIMPLE SETUP UTILITY - VERSION 1.1x (C)1997 American megatrends, Inc.
