Hardware Setup 2-1
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
2.1. CPU Socket
This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 939 to install AMD
Socket 939 CPU. The CPU you bought should contain with a kit of heatsink, cooling
fan, retention frame and back plate. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed
for Socket 939.

Hardware Setup 2-3
2.2.1. Installing and Removing Memory Modules
Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing
memory modules.
1. Locate the DIMM slot on the
board.
2. Hold two edges of the DIMM
module carefully, keep away of
touching its connectors.
3. Align the notch key on the
module with the rib on the slot.
4. Firmly press the module into the
slots until the ejector tabs at
both sides of the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force
the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one
direction.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
ATTENTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are
discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.

2.3. Connectors, Headers, and Switches
All the connectors, headers and switches mentioned here are depending on your
system configuration. Some features you may (or may not) have to connect or to
configure depending on the peripherals you have connected.
WARNING: Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before
adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to do so may cause severe
damage to your workstation board and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only
after you have carefully checked everything.
2.3.1. ATX Power Connectors (ATXPWR1, ATX12V1)
These two connectors connect to ATX12V power supply.

2.3.2. FAN Power Connectors (CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1, AUXFAN1~4)
These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your
system.
The CPU must be kept cool by using a powerful fan with heatsink. The system is
capable of monitoring the speed of the CPU fan.
• CPUFAN1: CPU Fan Power Connector
• SYSFAN1: System Fan Power Connector
• AUXFAN1~AUXFAN4: Auxiliary Fan Power Connectors
WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on
these connectors.

2.3.3. CMOS Memory Clearing Header (CCMOS1)
This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory.
• Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Normal operation.
• Pin 2-3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory.
WARNING: Turn the power off first (including the +5V standby power) before
clearing the CMOS memory. Failing to do so may cause your system to work
abnormally or malfunction.

2.3.5. Front Panel Switches & Indicators Connection Headers
(FPIO1)
This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front
panel.
Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in
the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay
attention to connect these headers. A wrong orientation will only cause the LED not
lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.
• HLED (Pin 1, 3): Connects to the HDD LED cable.
• RST (Pin 5, 7): Connects to the Reset Switch cable.
• SPKR (Pin 13, 15, 17, 19): Connects to the System Speaker cable.
• SLED (Pin 2, 4): Connects to the Suspend LED cable.
• PWR (Pin 6, 8): Connects to the Power Switch cable.
• C.O. (Pin 14, 16): Connects to Case Open (Intrusion) device.
• FLED (Pin 18, 20): Connects to the Fault LED cable.
