System Installation Setup
Before using your computer, you must finish the following steps:
1. Set jumpers on mainboard
2. Install SDRAM module.
3. Install the Processor.
4. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power supply.
5. Install Add on Cards.
6. Setup the BIOS software.
Static Electricity Precaution
Keep the mainboard and other system components in their anti-
static packaging until you are ready to install them.
Do all preparative work on a static-free surface with the main
board components facing up.
Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
Wear an Anti-static wrist strap.
Hold the system components, boards or cards by its edges only.
Be careful not to touch any of IC chips, circuitry, contacts or
connections, especially gold contacts on the mainboard.

10 / Chapter 3 Installation
Jumper Settings
Jumpers
Several hardware setting are made through the use of jumper caps
to connect jumper pins (Jxx) on the mainboard. See " Map of the
mainboard" for the location of the jumpers.
The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----], [1-
2], [2-3] for no connection, connect pins 1 & 2, and connect pins 2
& 3 respectively. Pin 1 for our mainboard is always on top one or
on the left when holding the mainboard with the keyboard away from
yourself. "P1" is written besides pin 1 on jumper with three pins.
The jumpers will also be shown graphically such as to connect
pin 1&2 and to connect 2&3. Jumpers with two pins will be
shown as for Short (off )and for Open (on).For manufac-
turing simplicity it may be sharing pins from other groups. Use the
diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the
board. Settings with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers
be moved together. To connect the pin, simply place a plastic jumper
cap over the two pins as diagrammed.

DIMM Memory Installation
Insert the module (s) as shown. Because the number pins are differ-
ent on either side of the breaks,the module will only fit in the ori-
entation as shown. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pin con-
tacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density.

The Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) memory module must
be 3.3v SDRAM. You can identify the type of DIMM module by the
illustration below:
168 Pin DRAM DIMM Notch Key Definitions
The notch on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or
right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type to be
inserted into the DIMM slot on the Mainboard. You must ask your
retailer for Specifications before purchasing.

CPU Installation
The motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that came
with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent
overheating . If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you
turn on your system.
To install a CPU , first turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways
away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert
the CPU with the correct orientation shown . The notched corner
should point towards the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a
corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the
orientation as shown.

quires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 500mA on
the +5VSB lead and the new ACPI BIOS support. The default is
set to Disable because not all computers have the appropriate
ATX power supply. Your computer will not function if you set
this to Enable and if you do not have the right ATX Power supply.

Safe Mode (SAFE_MD) -JP17
Usually socket 370 processors have locked frequency multiples. In
this case, there is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether
through motherboard setting or BIOS setup. With unlocked socket
370 processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through
BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified multiple may result in hanging
during bootup. If this occurs, enable Safe Mode to force a multiple
of 2 in order to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.
Automatic Timeout Reboot Setting (NO_REBOOT) -JP16
The motherboard is set that when the BIOS detects a hang(timeout)
during bootup, the motherboard will automatically reboot in order
to try rebooting again. If rebooting is repeating ineffectively, set
this jumper to "No Reboot" so that auto reboot will be disabled.

Clearance Requirements
To maintain proper airflow once the processor is installed on the
mainboard, the processor and fan heatsink require certain space
clearances. The clearance above the processor must be at least 0.3
inch. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and fan
heatsink must be at least 0.2 inch. All cables (for Floppy drive,Hard
drive,CD-ROM,and so on) must be routed clear of the processor
and its airspace.
Fan Exhaust
The processor must be kept cool by using a processor with heatsink
and fan attached . The temperature of the air filled with the fan/heatsink
cannot exceed 45 OC(113 OF ) . The ambient or room temperature
must be below 37 OC ( 99 OF) .
