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

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 CP

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 connecto

before connecting the 24-pin ATX power connector

6. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

The DXPL Plus-U 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.

ttaching 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 o

devices on the bus. The IPMB connector comes with foolproof design, please connect it

with correct orientation.

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a hardware level interface specification,

defines a message-based interface to platform monitoring and control function. IPMI’s

monitoring abilities enable user to monitor server physical health characteristics such as

temperature, voltage, fans, power supplies and chassis. (Optional)

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

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 the green PCI-X slot supports

ZCR function. (DXPL Plus-U only)

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 right green LED indicates the link mode,

it lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data in 100Mbps mode. The

left yellow LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is transferring in 1Gbps

mode.

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides

impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of

analog audio. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the

most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector

with bette

audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF

connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output.

However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital

input to connect to the S

PDIF digital output to make the most out of this function.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To

clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.

2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.

3. Locate JP2 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.

4. Return JP2 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.

18. Power-On and Load BIOS Setup

Normal Operation

(default)

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 factor

default setting is set to “Enable” (1-2), and you may disable this function by setting the

umpe

to 2-3. Moreover, JP5 jumper is used to disable or enable SCSI function. The

factory default setting is set to “Enable” (1-2), and you may disable this function by setting

the jumper to 2-3.

JP1 Password On (Default)

JP5 SCSI On (Default)

You can use JP3 to configure or recover your BIOS. The factory default setting is set to
