Installing the Processor
This motherboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When
choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of
the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the
clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the
quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
Follow these instructions to install the CPU:
1 Unhook the locking lever of the
CPU socket. Pull the locking lever
away from the socket and raising
it to the upright position.
2 Match the pin1 corner marked as
the beveled edge on the CPU with
the pin1 corner on the socket.
Insert the CPU into the socket.
Do not use force.

Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates four 184-pin 2.5V DIMM
sockets (Dual Inline Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR400
memory modules (Double Data Rate SDRAM), and maximum
4.0 GB installed memory.
DDR SDRAM is a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers
on both edges of each clock cycle (the rising and falling edges),
effectively doubling the memory chip’s data throughput. DDR
DIMMs can synchronously work with 266/333/400 MHz memory
bus. DDR SDRAM provides 2.1 GB/s, 2.7 GB/s or 3.2 GB/s data
transfer rate when the bus is 133 MHz, 166 MHz or 200 MHz,
respectively. It supports Dual Channel Technology; when activat-
ing it, the bandwidth of memory bus will be doubled to 6.4 GB/s
and frequency 200 MHz.
3 Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch
on the edge of socket.
4 Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5 Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and
secure them all onto the socket base.
6 Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan
connector (CPUFAN) on the motherboard.

Memory Module Installation Procedure
These modules can be installed with up to 4 GB system memory.
Refer to the following to install the memory module.
1. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM
socket.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. There is a
notch on the DIMM socket that you can install the
DIMM module in the correct direction. Match the cutout
on the DIMM module with the notch on the DIMM
socket.
3. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press it
firmly down until it is seated correctly. The socket latches
are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the
DIMM.
4. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

Jumper Settings
Connecting two pins with a jumper cap is SHORT; removing a
jumper cap from these pins, OPEN.
JPX: Performance Mode Jumper
Use this jumper to enable the function of Performance Accelera-
tion Technology. Please be noted enabling this jumper (Open Pins
1-2) perhaps comes with some risks that we do not guarrantee the
system stability.
JP1: Clear CMOS Jumper
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your motherboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the motherboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.

the front of the case. If you have this kind of case, use auxiliary
USB headers USB2/USB3 to connect the front-mounted ports to
the motherboard.
1. Locate the USB2/USB3 header on the motherboard.
2. Plug the bracket cable onto the USB2/USB3 header.
3. Remove a slot cover from one of the expansion slots on
the system chassis. Install an extension bracket in the
opening. Secure the extension bracket to the chassis with
a screw.
