Installation Guide

Getting Started

WARNING!

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.

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

Step 1 - Set system jumpers

Step 2- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 3-Install memory modules

Step 4-Install expansion cards

Step 5-Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply

Step 6-Set up BIOS software

Step 7-Install supporting software tools

CPU Installation

Please make sure the CPU type and speed is supported by your motherboard.

CPU Top View

CPU Bottom View

1.Pull the lever out and lift it up.

2.The notched corner should point toward the

end of the lever. The CPU will only fit in the

orientation as shown.

CPU Heat Sink Installation:

Beware: Please check that the heat sink is in good contact with the CPU before you turn on your

system. Poor contact will cause over heat with might cause damage to your

processor!

3.Align CPU and insert it

(Please refer to your heatsink installation

manual for application of thermal grease to

provide better heat conduction between your

CPU and heatsink.)

4.Use compliant fan approved by Intel.

5.Hook one end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket.

6. Hook the other end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket.

(Please refer to the cooler’s installation manual for detailed installation steps)

Installation Guide

10

Memory Installation

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets support 4 banks. The BIOS

will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it

vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch.

Memory size can vary between sockets.

SDRAM

1. The DIMM slot has two notch, so the DIMM

memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically

into the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.

Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

CPU Speed Setup

The system bus speed is selectable at 66,100,133MHz and Auto. The user can select the

system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP switch (SW2) selection to set up the CPU speed

for 300 – 1GB processor.

The CPU speed must match with the frequency ratio. It will cause system hanging up if

the frequency ratio is higher than that of CPU.

««Note:

1. If you use 66/100/133 MHz CPU, We recommend you to setup your system speed to

“Auto” value.

2. We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75 , 83 , 112 , 124 , 140 ,150

MHz because these frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, Chipset

and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under 75 ,

83 ,112 ,124 ,140 ,150 MHz properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU,

SDRAM, Cards, etc.
