Take the following precautions while unpacking this mainboard and installing it in a system. 1. Don't take this mainboard and components out of their original static-proof package until you are ready to install them. 2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you don't have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis. 3. Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this mainboard on the top of static-protection package with component side facing up while installing. Pre-Installation Inspection 1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to components and connectors on the board. 2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor about those damages. 6 2: Mainboard Installation Chapter 2 Mainboard Installation To install this mainboard in a system, please follow the instructions in this chapter: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Identify the mainboard components Install a CPU Install one or more system memory modules Verify that all jumpers or switches are set correctly Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case) Connect any extension brackets or cables to connecting headers on the mainboard Install other devices and make the appropriate connections to the mainboard connecting headers. Note: 1. Before installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JP1 is under Normal setting. See this chapter for information about locating JP1 and the setting options. 2. Never connect power to the system during installation; otherwise, it may damage the mainboard. 7 Mainboard User's Manual Mainboard Components Use the diagram below to identify the major components on the mainboard. Note: Any jumpers on your mainboard that do not appear in the illustration above are for testing only. 8 2: Mainboard Installation I/O Ports The illustration below shows a side view of the built-in I/O ports on the mainboard. PS/2 Mouse LAN Port Parallel Port Game/MIDI Port PS/2 Keyboard USB Ports Serial COM1 VGA Port Line-Out Line-In Microphone Install A CPU This mainboard has a Socket-462 that supports AMD K7 processors. To ensure reliability, ensure that your processor has a heatsink/cooling fan assembly. Do not try to install a Socket-370/Socket-7 processor in the Socket462. A Socket-370/Socket-7 processor such as the PPGA Celeron, FCPGA Pentium-III, Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6 does not fit in the Socket-462. The following list indicates these processors are currentl ...
