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.
