1-5 Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard.
Observing a few basic precautions can help you safeguard against dam-
age that could result in expensive repairs. Follow the measures below to
protect your equipment from static discharge:
Keep the motherboard and other system components in their antistatic
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system component from
its protective antistatic packaging. A grounded surface within easy reach
is the expansion slot covers at the rear of the system case. or any other
unpainted portion of the system chassis.
During configuration and installation, touch a ground surface frequently to
discharge any static electric charge that may build up in your body. An-
other option is to wear a grounding wrist strap.
When handling a motherboard or an adapter card, avoid touching its
components.Handle the motherboardand adaptercards eitherby theedges
or by the mounting bracket that attaches to the slot opening in the case.

3SLAV User’s Manual
The mainboard has some user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow
you to configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter con-
tains information on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
1. Setting system jumpers.
2. Install RAM modules.
3. Install CPU & FAN.
4. Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply.
5. Set up BIOS.
6. Set up system drivers and utility.
2-1 Setting System Jumpers
You may configure your motherboard to match the needs of your applica-
tions by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a jumper,
you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" a jumper, you remove the
clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, 3. In this case
you would connect either pin 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

3SLAV User’s Manual
Note: When you open the jumper, attach the plastic jumper cap to one of
the pins so you won't lose it.
Warning: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your board
whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is
on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sud-
den rush of power.
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
board.Modemelectronic devicesare very sensitiveto staticelectric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on
a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in
the chassis.
CPU Type Settings:(JP1)
The Motherboard supports Intel PIII/Socket 370/FCPGA CPUs and Cyrix
(JOSHUA) CPUs. Setting the jumper according to the CPU type. you are

2-2 System Memory (DIMM)
The motherboard supports up to 768MB 100/133MHz SDRAM. No hard-
wareor BIOS setupis requiredafteradding or removingthe systemmemory.
Note:
1. The motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs).
Sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory (SDRAM).
2. The 100/133 MHz compliant SDRAM must be used because of the
strict timing issues involved under this speed.
Installing system Memory
Insert the DIMM module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are
different on each side of the breaks, the module will be fitted only in the
orientation shown. The DIMM must be 3.3V for this motherboard.

3SLAV User’s Manual
2-3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
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
in not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. Be
sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor heat sink,
or the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the
motherboard.
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 angle. Insert the CPU with the correct
orientation as 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 be fitted in the orientation as shown. The picture is for
reference only: you should have a CPU fan that covers the top side of the
CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert
the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket’s lever while holding
down the CPU.
2- Expansion Cards
Always unplug the power supply 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.
Expansion Card Installation Procedure The Motherboard has 5 PCI Expan-
sion slots. You may install up to 5 PCI cards on this motherboard. To install
the PCI cards , please follow the following procedure:
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any nec-
essary hardware or software settings for you expansion card, such as
jumpers or switches.
2. Remove your computer system cover and the bracket plate with screw
on the slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.
3. Carefully align the card connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.
5. Replace the computer system cover.
6. Setup the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.
