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 A 3-pin jumper Cap 1 Setting A cap over pin 1 and pin 2 shorts these pins Figure 2-1 7 Chapter 2 2-2 Installing an S.E.C.C. Processor in Slot 1 1. Insert the Pentium II/Pentium III processor into the retention mechanism. Press evenly and gently until the snaps on the upper side of the processor have been inserted into the holes at the top of the retention mechanism. 2. Note that when removing the processor, these snaps should be clicked into a completely vertical position, leaving your hands free to stabilize the board. Pull the processor evenly and gently out of the retention mechanism. 3. Also note that like PCI and ISA slots, Slot 1 has a divider that prevents backwards insertion of the CPU. 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(SeePU Technology) SeePU is a new user friendly technology that enables the user to setup a mainboard's CPU parameters through an easy to use BIOS setup procedure. 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 SeePU & Chipset Setup menu and press Enter. Find the CPU Setup commands at the right hand side of the BIOS screen (Figure 2-2) Commands for operating the cursor in BIOS are found at the Bottom right of the BIOS screen.

Use the User Define option to custom set your CPU's parameters. Set the frequency ratio (also known as external clock multiplier factor) and CPU bus frequency according to your processor's specifications. See Figure 2-4. You do not need to make voltage settings because SeePU automatically sets your CPU voltage.

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. 9 Chapter 2 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 freqency, 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 burn-out, system failure, etc. Many Pentium 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 the Home key on your keyboard 2. Turn on your computer, wait for five seconds and then release the Home key. (Pressing the Home key allows the computer to boot at a low system speed. For example, for 66MHz external clock CPUs, the CPU boot-up speed is 233MHz. For 100MHz external clock CPUs, the CPU boot-up speed is 350MHz.) 3. Enter BIOS and reconfigure your CPU parameters as described in this section. Unique Frequency modulation features for Overclocking 1. Programable linear frequency output up to 150MHz. 2. Change CPU frequency without re-starting the system. 3. Optional DOS and Windows application for frequency on-line tuning. (SMD4.exe in DOS and CPUBOOST.exe for Windows) Vcore subtle tuning for Overclocking Supports +0.1V,+0.2V.. and Default (auto tune for CPU) setting. 10 Hardware Setup 2-4 Connector and Jumper Settings Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including the power supply, the keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of the system case. The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while installing a mainboard. Before connecting the power supply, please make sure it is not connected to the power source. ATX Power Supply Connector 1 1 AB CD This mainboard requires a power supply of at least 200 watts. The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the external power source must be the very last part connected when assembling a system. + 1 1 1 The ATX power supply provides a single 20-pin connector interface which incorporates standard +/-5V, +/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals.
