4.2 CPU Installation
This mainboard has a socket478 processor socket. Follow these instructions to install
the CPU:

http://www.aimmertech.com
Unhook the CPU socket’s locking lever by pulling it away from socket and raising it to
the upright position.
Match the pin 1 corner of CPU socket to the one of processor, and insert the processor
into the socket. Do not use force.
Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the edge of socket.
Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
Lower the CPU fan/ heatsink unit onto the CPU and CPU socket, and then use the
retention module clamps to snap the fan/heatsink into place.
Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU cooling fan power supply connector on the
mainboard.

4.3 Memory installation
This mainboard supports DDR200/DDR266 DDR memory ，you may install
64/128/256/512MB 184 pin DDR memory。DDR SDRAM uses additional power and
ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the
168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMM used by SDRAM.
Follow these instructions to install the Memory:
1.Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
2.Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and
the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.
3.Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the
DIMM slot.
4.Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly.
The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM.
5.Install any remaining DIMM modules.
4.4 IDE Devices Installation
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives, and CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drives, among othes.
The mainboard ships with and IDE cable that can support one or two IDE devices. If you
connect two devices to a single cable, you must configure one of the drives as Master
and one of the drives as Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you how to
configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The Master device connects to the
end of the cable.
4.5 Other Device Installation
4.5.1 Floppy Disk Drive Installation

http://www.aimmertech.com
The mainboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can support one or two drives.
Drives can be 3.5” or 5.25” wide, with capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or
2.88MB.
Install your drives and connect power from the system power supply. Use the cable
provided to connect the drives to the floppy disk drive connector floppy.
4.5.2 Sound Connector Port Installation
This mainboard has three audio ports connect audio device.
The left side jack(green) is for a stereo line-out signal. The middle jack (blue)is for a
stereo line-in signal. The right side jack (red)is for a microphone.
4.5.3 Clear CMOS (JP3)
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 RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information
such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
1、Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2、Move the jumper cap from pin 1-2(default) to pin 2-3.Keep the cap on pin 2-3 for
about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins1-2.
3、Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4、Hold down the<DEL> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to
re-enter data.
Note1: Except when clearing RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC1 jumper
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
Note2: You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to
overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU
Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so BIOS can
automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
4.5.4 ATX Power connectors (20-pin ATXPWR1,4-pin ATX 12V1)
These connectors connect to an ATX 12V power supply. The plugs from the power
supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper
orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit. In addition to the
20-pin ATXPWR1 connector, connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug to provide
sufficient power to the CPU.
Note1: Make sure that you ATX 12V power supply can provide at least 15A on the
+12V lead and at least 2A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB).The minimum
recommended wattage is 300W or above for a fully configured system. The

http://www.aimmertech.com
system may become unstable and may experience difficulty powering up if the
power supply is inadequate.
Note2: Do not forget to connect the 20-pin ATXPWR1 and 4-pin ATX12V1 power
plugs. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the CPU or motherboard!

Chapter 6 BIOS Setup
The BIOS Setup Utility record settings and information of your computer, such as date
and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration settings. Your
computer applies those information to initialize all the components when booting up and
basic function of coordination between system components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the system to malfunction. It
can even stop you computer booting properly. If it happens, you can use the clear
CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory which has stored the configuration
information; or you can hold down the Page Up key while rebooting your computer.
Holding down the Page Up key also clears the setup information.
6.1 Main menu
You can use cursor arrow keys to highlight anyone of options on the
main menu page. Press Enter to select the highlighted option.
Press the Escape key to leave the setup utility. Press the F9 key to
go back to menu in BIOS.
Some options on the main menu page lead to tables of items with installed
value that you can use cursor arrow keys to highlight on item, and
press PgUp and PgDn keys to cycle through alternative values of that
item. The other options on the main menu page lead to dialog boxes that
