Mainboard Form Factor

The board is designed with MicroATX form factor - the new industry standard of

chassis. The MicroATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90

degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the

power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the

expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. MicroATX

defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to

host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is

defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV

output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integra-

tors differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

 Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.

 I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. Mainboard

could be used in an ATX 2.01-compliant.

 A smaller power supply cam be used. High integration on mainboard reduces

the system costs.

ON/OFF Controller

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The board has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power

supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the

systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/Off

button should be a momentary button that is normally open.

The board has been designed with Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the

system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off

button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the onboard circuit

controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such asWindows

95/

98/SE/ME or Windows

2000.

I/O Shield Connector

The board is equipped with an I/O back panel.Please use the appropriate I/O shield

(figure 3).

Easy Installation Procedure

The following must be completed before powering on your new system:

3-1. CPU Insertion

3-2. Jumper Settings

3-3. System memory Configuration

3-4. Device Connectors

Section 3-1

CPU Insertion

Step 1

Open the socket by raising the actuation

lever.

Figure 2

Step 2

Insert the processor.

Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning

the FC-PGA corner marking with the

socket corner closest to the actuation arm

tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis-

oriented insertion.

Dont force processor into socket. If it does

not go in easily, check for mis-orientation and

debris. Make sure the processor is fully in-

serted into the socket on all sides.

Figure 3

Installation

Page 3-3

Step 3

Close the socket by lowering and

locking the actuation lever.

Note: Intels reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded alumi-

num heatsink based and a fan attached to the top on the fin array. (See Figure 5)

System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The board supports (2) PC100 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module).

The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) .

 DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns),

125MHz (8ns) bus speed.

 If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure

your BIOS to read 60ns.

 When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the

4 clock variety over the 2 clock.

Figure 6 and Table 1 show several possible memory configuration.

* SDRAM supports 32, 64, 128, 256MB DIMM modules.

* We recommend to use PC100 Memory Module for bus speed between

66MHz and 100MHz.

* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking) may

severely compromise the integrity of the system.

DIMM Module Installation

Figure 7 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM

memory module.

DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM

socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a

90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 8) until it fits tightly into the

DIMM socket (figure 9).

Figure 7

Figure 9

DIMM Module clip after installation

To remove the DIMM module simply press down both of the white clips on

either side and the module will be released from the socket.
