Hardware Setup Hardware Setup 2 2-2 2-5 2-7 2-8 2-13 2-22 2-23 This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components. TOPICS Central Processing Unit: CPU Memory Power Supply Back Panel Connectors Jumpers Slots 2-1 Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron processors. It uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. Make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. CPU Installation Procedures 1. Pull the lever sideways away Open Lever from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Sliding Plate 2. Look for the cut edge. The cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation. Cut edge 3. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your finger pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly & completely embedded into the socket. Press down the CPU Close Lever WARNING! Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. 2-2 Hardware Setup WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements. AMD Athlon/Duron processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMDs website for reference. 2-3 Chapter 2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure If CPU Clock Core/Bus ratio then CPU core speed = = = = = 100MHz 7 Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio 100MHz x 7 700MHz CPU FSB Selection Jumper: SW2 To use a 133MHz CPU, you need to set the SW2 jumper to short 1-2 pin. To use a 100MHz CPU, set the SW2 jumper to short 2-3 pin. 1 SW2 3 3 1 1 FSB = 133MHz FSB = 100MHz WARNING! Overclocking This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications. 2-4 Hardware Setup Memory Depending on the model you have purchased, the mainboard provides 2 sockets for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports a maximum memory size of 1GB (2 DIMM slots). You can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~2). DDR DIMM Slots (DIMM 1~2) Introduction to DDR SDRAM DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transfering data twice per cycle. It transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. Conventional SDRAM only uses the rising edge of the clock to transfer data. Therefore, conventional SDRAM is called SDR (Single Data Rate) SDRAM. DDR SDRAM uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM is also known as SDRAM-II, DDR DRAM and DSDRAM (Double-Speed DRAM). Two types of DDR are available at the time of writing: PC1600 & PC2100. PC1600 DDR SDRAM running at 100MHz will produce about 1.6GB/s memory bandwidth. PC2100 running at 133MHz will produce 2.1GB/s memory bandwidth. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers. 2-5 Chapter 2 DIMM Modules Combination At least one DIMM module should be installed on the motherboard. You can install memory modules in any combination as follows: Slot Momory Module Slot 1 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, (Bank 0 & 1) 512MB Slot 2 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, (Bank 2 & 3) 512MB Maximum System Memory Supported Total Memory 64MB~512MB 64MB~512MB 64MB~1GB Warning: We dont recommend to install DOUBLE-SIDED DDR266 module on DDR 3 slot because it will cause all memory modules to slower down and run at 200MHz. Installing DDR Modules 1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will only fit in the right orientation. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket. TIP: You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly inserted in the socket. 3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close. Volt notch 2-6 Hardware Setup Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused. ATX 20-Pin Power Supply This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector. 11 1 20 10 ATX Power Connector PIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 SIGNAL 3.3V 3.3V GND 5V GND 5V GND PW_OK 5V_SB 12V PIN 1 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 SIGNAL 3.3V -12V GND PS_ON GND GND GND -5V 5V 5V 2-7 Chapter 2 Back Panel The Back Panel provides the following connectors: LAN (optional) Parallel Midi/Joystick Mouse Keyboard USB COM A VGA L-out L-in MIC Mouse Connector: JKBMS1 The mainboard provides a standard PS/2® mouse mini DIN connector for attaching a PS/2 ® mouse.
