Production Introduction
1.1 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX
power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from
the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the
motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in
the image below.

1.4 System Memory
1.4.1 DIMM Sockets Location
The motherboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin
footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to
prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of
the sockets:

VCN700-LIC10/15
14
1.4.2 Installing a DDR2 DIMM
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing
DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the
retaining clips outward
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the
notch on the DIMM matches the break on
the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until
the retaining clips snap back in place and
the DIMM.
A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one
direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging
the DIMM.
The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO NOT
install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM socket.
1.4.3 Removing a DDR2 DIMM
1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips
outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining
clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.

1.5 Expansion Slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub‑sections describe
the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.5.1 Installing an Expansion Card
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and
make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later
use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely
seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.
1.5.2 Configuring an Expansion Card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings if any.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card if needed. Refer to the tables on the next page.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
1.5.3 PCI Slot
This motherboard has two PCI slots. The PCI
slots support cards such as a LAN card, SCSI
card, USB card, and other cards that comply
with PCI specifications. The figure shows a LAN
card installed on a PCI slot.

1.6 Jumpers
1.6.1 Clear CMOS (CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear
the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC
RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include
system setup information such as system passwords. To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for
about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter
data.
Except when clearing the CMOS, never remove the cap on CLRTC
jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot
failure!

1.7.2 ATX Power Connector (ATX12V)
This connector is for an ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs are designed to
fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down
firmly until the connectors completely fit.
Important notes on the Motherboard Power Requirements
Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on
the +12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead
(+5VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 230W, or
300W for a fully configured system. The system can become
unstable and might experience difficulty powering up if the power
supply is inadequate.
You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.
