A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2
pins of JPAT to store the CMOS data.
To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below:
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power
2. Remove ATX power cable from ATX power connector
3. Locate JBAT and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds
4. Return JBAT to its normal setting by shorting pins 1-2
5. Connect ATX power cable back to ATX power connector
Note: When should clear CMOS
1. Troubleshooting
2. Forget password
3. After over clocking system boot fail

2-3 Glossary
Chipset (core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between
the system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards.
Processor socket - the socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard.
Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM.
PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect - a high speed interface for video cards, sound
cards, network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz.
Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems.
Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers.
PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards.
USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards,
scanners, and some digital cameras.
Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and
speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and
establish the relationship between the various components.
Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or
other software.
Processor - the "Central Processing Unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for

doing the "computing" in "personal computer"
Front Side Bus Frequency - The working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated
by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.
CPU L2 Cache - The flash memory inside the CPU, normally Pentium III CPU has 256K or
above, while Celeron CPU will have 128
2-4 Install Memory
The motherboards provide one 200-pin SMALL OUTLINE DUAL INLINE MEMORY
MODULES (SODIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size
of 64MB to maximum memory size of 1.0GB DDR SDRAM.
Valid Memory Configurations
Bank 200-Pin DIMM PCS Total Memory
Bank 0, 1 (DDR1) DDR 400／DDR333/ DDR 266
DDR SDRAM Module
X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Total System Memory (Max. 1.0GB) 1 64MB∼1.0GB
Generally, installing SODDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy; you can
refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 200-Pin DDR 333 / DDR 266 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.



NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only DDR333-compliant DDR
Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133MHz, most system will not even
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your
SDR Modules are not DDR333-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 133MHz
to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your
motherboard and expansion cards.
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or
software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
Press down
firmly

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign
to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in
use.
Standard Interrupt Assignments
IRQ Priority Standard function
0 N/A System Timer
1 N/A Keyboard Controller
2 N/A Programmable Interrupt
3 * 8 Communications Port (COM2)
4 * 9 Communications Port (COM1)
5 * 6 Sound Card (sometimes LPT2)
6 * 11 Floppy Disk Controller
7 * 7 Printer Port (LPT1)
8 N/A System CMOS/Real Time Clock
9 * 10 ACPI Mode when enabled
10 * 3 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
11 * 2 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
12 * 4 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port
13 N/A Numeric Data Processor
14 * 5 Primary IDE Channel
15 * 1 Secondary IDE Channel
* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

2-5-3 Interrupt Request Table For This Motherboard
Interrupt request are shared as shown the table below:
INT A INT B INT C INT D INT E INT F INT G INT H
Slot 1 √
Onboard VGA √
Onboard USB 1 √
Onboard USB 2 √
LAN √
AC97/MC97 √
IMPORTANT! If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared
IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between
the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.
2-6 Connectors and Headers
2-6-1 Connectors
(1) CN1: Power Jack
The motherboard power is supplied from a power jack. This is a newly defined
connector connecting the power adapter which provides DC12V +/- power for the
motherboard. The Power Supply allows using soft power on momentary switch that
connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power On jumper pole on the
motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the power supply turned on, the
full power will not come into the system board until the front panel switch is
momentarily pressed. Press this switch again will turn off the power to the system
board.



(2) 12V Power Connector (4-pin block):12VCN
This is a newly defined 4-pins connector support extra 12V voltage to maintain system
power consumption in the case that an AD-Scalar daughter board is used. Without this
connector might cause system unstable because the power supply can not provide
sufficient current for system.
(3) VGA Power Connector: VGA _CN
This connector is ready for an AD-Scalar daughter board.
