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

socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge

well, it may damage the CPU.

5. Automatically Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency

3. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

4. JP14 Clear CMOS Jumper

Setting CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automaticall

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…

3. Troubleshooting…

Normal Operation

(default)

Clear CMOS

14. JP15 Boot Block Jumper

When the PC tries to boot and finds the BIOS code corrupted, the boot block will tr

to recover the BIOS code. You may have to change JP15 setting to enable this

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.

10. Connecting 68pin Ultra320 SCSI Cable

7. Install DIMM Modules

The AXPS Plus-U provides one 68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connectors for 16-bit or 16-bit differential SCSI

devices. The Adaptec AIC-7901X controller provides 160MB/sec maximum data throughput. (AXPS

Plus-U only)

This motherboard has four 184-pin DIMM sockets that allow you to install PC200/266

Registered memory up to 4.0GB.

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.

PS/2 Keyboard: For standard keyboard, which is using a PS/2 plug.

PS/2 Mouse: For PC-Mouse, which is using a PS/2 plug.

USB Port: Available for connecting USB devices.

Parallel Port: To connect with SPP/ECP/EPP printer.

COM1 To connect with pointing devices, modem or others serial devices.

VGA Connector: To connect with PC monitor.

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

purchase an extra sensor, attach it on your chassis, and make a good use of this function.

18. Power-On and Load BIOS Setup

15. Support the 2

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

DM, for the checking of how to wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA AT

standby current is required to support the LAN card for this function.

BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen (POST screen). Fo

example:

R2.04 is BIOS version

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.

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.
