Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPU FAN connector and housing fan cable to the HFan

connectors.

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to

90-degree angle.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a

(golden) cut edge on the CPU upper interface.

Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the

CPU into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish

CPU installation.

Note: If you do not match the CPU

socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge

well, it may damage the CPU.

4. Connecting ATX Power Connector

This motherboard comes with a 24-pin and 8-pin ATX power connector. Make sure you

plug in the right direction. We strongly recommend you to connect the 8-pin 12V ATX

connector before connecting the 24-pin ATX power connector

6. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

The DXPS Plus provides two 68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connectors for 16-bit or 16-bit differential SCSI

devices. The Adaptec AIC-7902W controller provides 320MB/sec maximum data throughput per

channel available.

Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and IDE

connector. Pin1 of cable is normally marked with red color. Addition to normal connectors,

we provide you a slim type IDE2 connector and a slim type FDD connector. Please be

informed that DO NOT connect Secondary IDE Slim connector and Secondary IDE

Connector at the same time. As well as DO NOT connect FDD connector and slim FDD

connector at the same time.

8. Connecting COM2 Connector

9. Connecting Front Panel Connector

Attaching such as power switch, reset switch, HDD LED connector, etc.… to

corresponding pins.

10. Connecting IPMB Connector

IPMB offers good support for communication with on-board devices that are accessed

on an occasional basis. IPMB's competitive advantage over other low-speed

short-distance communication schemes is that its cost and complexity don't scale up

with the number of devices on the bus. The IPMB connector comes with foolproof

design, please connect it with correct orientation.

This motherboard comes with a COM1 connector on the back panel. However, we

provide an extra COM2 connector for your convenience. Once you need to connect a

device via COM2, just connect a suitable cable on it.

7. ZCR (Zero Channel RAID) Function (DXPS Plus/-U)

A ZCR card is a PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus

lowering cost of RAID solution.

A "Zero-channel" RAID adapter is a PCI RAID

controller that doesn't have any SCSI channels on board. Instead, it is designed to

use the on-board SCSI channels of the motherboard to implement a cost-effective

Hardware RAID solution. Please be informed that only the first PCI slot supports

ZCR function. (DXPS Plus/DXPS Plus-U)

12. JP1 Check Password Jumper

This motherboard provides check password function. You can use JP1 to enable or

disable this function, which could prevent your system from unauthorized invasion. The

factory default setting is set to “Disable”(2-3), and you may enable this function by setting

the jumper to 1-2.

The onboard I/O devices are PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse, COM1, VGA, Printer and

USB1.1. The view angle of drawing shown here is from the back panel of the housing.

The Intel 82545EM integrates Intel’s fourth-generation Gigabit MAC design with fully

integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for

1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications. The left green LED indicates the link mode,

it lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data. The right green LED

indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is transferring in 1Gbps/100Mbps

mode.

The comparison table below will show the differences between DXPS series

motherboards.

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the

procedures accordingly to resolve the problem.

Part Number and Serial Number

The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this

bar code label on the outside packing, on PCI slot or on component side of PCB. For

example:

P/N: 91.88110.201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number.

Part No. Serial No.

Then connect your monitor and keyboard.

The problem was probably caused

by power supply or motherboard

failure. Please contact your reselle

or local distributor for repairing.

Perhaps your monitor is defective.

Yes

It is very possible that your keyboard

is defective.

During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose

“Load Setup Default".

The problem should be caused by the

IDE cables or HDD itself.

Re-install Windows 2000.

Yes

Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, then remove all

of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, IDE, FDD, COM1,

COM2 and Printer.

Turn on the power, and check if

the power supply and CPU fan

work properly.

Start

Check if there is display.

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the

same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the

stem reboots.

Turn off the system and

re-connect the IDE cable.

Check if the system can

reboot successfully.
