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 CP
U
socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge
well, it may damage the CPU.

Setting CPU Core Voltage
This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automaticall
y
detected. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design no jumpers or switches are needed.
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio
Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and IDE
connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.
FDD Connector
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 JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of
overclocking…
2. Forget password…

14. JP15 Boot Block Jumper
When the PC tries to boot and finds the BIOS code corrupted, the boot block will tr

capability. The boot block will load the BIOS code and then when you next reboot,
the regular BIOS code should be in place and the problem resolved.

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. (AXPS 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 left green LED indicates the link mode, it
lights when linking to network and blinking when data transferring is in 10/100Mbps. The
right green LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when linking to network and
blinking when data transferring is in 1Gbps/100Mbps.

14. Chassis Instruction Connector
The “CASE OPEN” header provides chassis intrusion-monitoring function. Please connect
this header to a sensor somewhere on the chassis. So, whenever the sensor is triggered by
lights or the opening of the chassis, the system will send out beep sound to inform you.
Please be informed that this useful function only applies to advanced chassis, you ma
y
purchase an extra sensor, attach it on your chassis, and make a good use of this function.

15. Support the 2
nd
USB1.1 Channel
This motherboard provides two USB channels to link USB devices, such as mouse,
keyboard, modem, printer, etc. There are two connectors on the PC99 back panel. You can
use proper cable to connect other USB connectors to the back panel or front panel of
chassis.
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.
16. Connecting Wake On LAN Connector
This feature is very similar as Wake On Modem, but it goes through local area network. To
use Wake On LAN function, you must have a network card with chipset that supports this
feature, and connect a cable from LAN card to motherboard WOL connector. The system
identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card and because there
is a lot of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install network management software, such as
A
DM, for the checking of how to wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA AT
X
standby current is required to support the LAN card for this function.
