Preparing Your Computer

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you

work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one,

touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power

supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other

components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components

whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power

connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there

are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the

mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so

be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying

about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the

motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the

screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it

may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.

We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and

most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies

properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, Memory,

Cards….etc.

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 2- Installation of Memory

Step 3- Installation of Expansion Cards

Step 4- Installation of I/O Peripherals Cables

Hardware Installation Process

Step 2Step 4

Step 4

Step 1

Step 4

Step 3

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the

wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert

direction of the CPU.

3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and heatsink.

4. Please make sure the heatsink is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise

overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is

not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications

since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the

frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hardware

specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

HT functionality requirement content :

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system

requires all of the following platform components:

- CPU: An Intel

Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

- Chipset: An Intel

Chipset that supports HT Technology

- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Step 1-1: Installation of the CPU

Fig. 1

Position lever at a 90 degree angle.

Fig. 2

A gold-colored triangle is marked one edge of the CPU. Please align

this edge with the socket edge closest to the CPU lever. Gently place

the CPU into position making sure that the CPU pins fit perfectly into their

holes. Once the CPU is positioned into it socket, place one finger down

on the middle of the CPU and gently press the metal lever back into its

original position.

Step 1-2: Installation of the Heatsink

Fig.1

Before installing the heat sink, please first add an even layer of heat sink

paste on the surface of the CPU.

Fig.2

Install all the heat sink components (Please refer to the heat sink manual

for detailed installation instructions).

Fig.3

Please connect the heat sink power connector to the CPU_FAN con-

nector located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly

function to prevent CPU overheating.

Socket lever

Please use extra care when installing the CPU. The CPU will not fit if positioned

incorrectly. Rather than applying force, please change the positioning of the

CPU.

The heat sink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat sink

paste. To prevent such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape

rather than heat sink paste be used for heat dissipation or using extreme care

when removing the heat sink.

Step 2: Installation of Memory

DDR

Notch

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is

recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer

power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in

only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard supports DDR memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory

capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one

direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

Fig.1

The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can

only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically

into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.

Fig.2

Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the

DIMM module.

Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM

module.

Support Unbuffered DDR DIMM Sizes type:

64 Mbit (2Mx8x4 banks) 64 Mbit (1Mx16x4 banks) 128 Mbit (4Mx8x4 banks)

128 Mbit (2Mx16x4 banks) 256 Mbit (8Mx8x4 banks) 256 Mbit (4Mx16x4 banks)

512 Mbit (16Mx8x4 banks) 512 Mbit (8Mx16x4 banks)

Step 3: Installation of Expansion Cards

1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer.

2. Please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X/8X (1.5V).

3. Please carefully pull out the small white-drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to

install / uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP slot and press firmly

down on the slot .Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small white-drawable bar.

Do not remove memory modules while RAM_LED is on. It might cause short or other unexpected

damages due to the stand by voltage. Remove memory modules only when AC power cord is

disconnected.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type recom

mended by the manufacturer.

Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

If you want to erase CMOS...

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10

minutes (Or you can use a metal object to connect the

positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make

them short for one minute).

3. Re-install the battery.

4. Plug the power cord and turn on the computer.
