Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before performing any work on your mainboard, i. e. installing a CPU, memory module, changing a jumper setting, etc. Not doing so may result in electrical shock! 2-1 Introduction to Jumpers Jumpers are used to select between various operating modes. A jumper consists of a row of gold colored pins that protrude from the surface of the mainboard. It is important not to confuse jumpers with connectors or headers. Putting jumper caps on anything that is not a jumper may result in damaging your mainboard. Please refer to Section 1-3, Mainboard Layout, for the location of jumpers on your mainboard. As indicated in Figure 2-1 below, a cap is used to cover the pins of a jumper, resulting in shorting those pins that it covers. If the cap is removed from the top of the pins, the jumper is left "open." The number 1 shown both in the diagram below and in all multiple pin jumper and header diagrams in this manual indicates the pin designated with the number 1. The numbering of the remaining pins follows in sequence. Pins 1 Cap Setting 1 Cap Style 2 A 3-pin jumper A cap over pin 1 and pin 2 shorts these pins Figure 2-1 7 Chapter 2 2-2 Installing a CPU in a Socket 370 The Intel Socket 370, designed for the Celeron and Coppermine processors, has been incorporated as a standard mainboard specification.To insert your CPU into Socket 370 please do the following: 1. Locate a small dot marked on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it's corners. The same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU's corner. These markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU. 2. Pull up the lever of Socket 370 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the mainboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 370 that contains the end of the lever. Allow the the weight of the CPU to push itself into place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your CPU. Snap the lever back into place. Installing a heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and possible burn-out of your CPU. 2-3 Setting Your CPU's Parameters This board support plug and play CPU configuration, if you install a CPU on this mainboard, the board will automatically detect and set CPU parameters. It is no longer necessary to make many jumper settings as on conventional mainboards. 1. After installing all your hardware into your PC system, turn on your system's power. Enter the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the Delete key when your BIOS identification screen appears. 2. Move the cursor to Frequency/Voltage Control Setup menu and press Enter. Find the CPU bus frequency at the left hand side of the BIOS screen. Commands for operating the cursor in BIOS are found at the Bottom right of the BIOS screen. 3. Set the CPU bus frequency according to your processor's specifications. 4. Press Esc to return to the CMOS Setup Utility, press F10 to Save and Exit Setup and choose 'Y' to confirm. The system will automatically reboot and during startup you will see the correct CPU type shown on the screen. You do not need to make voltage settings because SeePU automatically sets your CPU voltage. 8 Hardware Setup Overclocking Operating a CPU at a higher frequency than it's specification allows is called overclocking. If the CPU frequency is set at a higher frequency than it's specification allows, it may or may not run at that frequency, depending on the quality of your CPU and the extent to which the frequency has been overset. The mainboard manufacturer highly discourages overclocking as it may result in data loss, CPU burnout, system failure, etc. Many Intel processors are frequency locked processors and are not able to perform overclocking. Regardless of whether the processor is a frequency locked, overclocking may cause some processors to hang when turning on the system. When the processor hangs, the screen remains blank and the system does not boot. To solve this problem, do the following. 1. Turn off the computer and then press and hold the Home ke ...
