1.Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2.It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures.

3.Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4.Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or

removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when

you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC

power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity

of your device.

Power Supply

This motherboard uses an ATX power supply. In order to avoid damaging any

devices, make sure that they have been installed properly prior to connecting the

power supply.

4-pin ATX_12V Power Connector: PWR2

The ATX power supply connects to PWR2

and provides power to the CPU.

24-pin ATX power connector: PWR1

Other Connectors

This motherboard includes connectors for FDD devices, IDE devices, Serial ATA

devices, USB devices, IR module, and others.

FDD Connector: FLOPPY

This motherboard includes a standard FDD connector, supporting 360K, 720K,

1.2M, 1.44M, and 2.88M FDDs.

HDD Connectors: PIDE & SIDE

This connectors supports the provided Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE hard

disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary

(recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector

to the Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black

connector to the Ultra DMA 133/100/66 master device. If you install two hard

disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper

accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

Attention:

Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to

always connect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the

PIDE/SIDE or FDD connector on the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Front Panel Connector: FP1

This motherboard includes one connector for connecting the front panel switch

and LED indicators.

Hard Disk LED Connector (HDD_LED)

The connector connects to the case’s IDE indicator LED indicating the activity

status of IDE hard disk.

Reset Switch (RESET)

Attach the connector to the Reset switch on the front panel of the case; the

system will restart when the switch is pressed.

Power LED Connector (PLED)

Attach the connector to the power LED on the front panel of the case. The Power

LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is in S0 status, the LED is

on. When the system is in S1 status, the LED is blink; When the system is in S3,

S4, S5 status, the LED is off.

FP1

Power Swith Connector (PWRBTN#)

Attach the connector to the power button of the

case. Pushing this switch allows the system

to be turned on and off rather than using the

power supply button.

COM2

COM2 Connector: COM2 (Optional)

This connector accommodates a second serial

port using an optional serial port bracket. Con-

nect the bracket cable to this connector then in-

stall the bracket into a slot opening at the back of

Front Audio Connector: F_AUDIO

The audio connector provides two kinds of audio

output choices: the Front Audio, the Rear Audio.

Their priority is sequenced from high to low (Front

Audio to Rear Audio). If headphones are plugged

into the front panel of the chassis (using the Front

Audio), then the Line-out (Rear Audio) on the rear

panel will not work. If you do not want to use the

Front Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin9 and 10 must be

short, and then the signal will be sent to the rear

audio port.

S/PDIF Out Connector: S/PDIF_OUT

The S/PDIF out connector is capable of provid-

ing digital audio to external speakers or com-

pressed AC3 data to an external Dolby digital

decoder.

Note:The empty pin of S/PDIF cable should be

aligned to empty pin of S/PDIF out connector.

SPD_OUT

Chassis Intruder Connector: INTR (optional)

The connector connects to the chassis security

switch on the case. The system can detect the

chassis intrusion through the status of this

connector. If the connector has been closed once,

the system will send a message. To utilize this

function, set “Case Open Warning” to “Enabled”

in the “PC Health Status” section of the CMOS

Setup. Save and exit, then boot the operating sys-

tem once to make sure this function takes effect.
