1-3 Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard.
Observing a few basic precautions can help you safeguard against
damage 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 com-
ponent from its protective antistatic packaging. A grounded sur-
face 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 fre-
quently to discharge any static electric charge that may build up
in your body. Another option is to wear a grounding wrist strap.
When handling a motherboard or an adapter card, avoid touch-
ing its components. Handle the motherboard and adapter cards
either by the edges or by the mounting bracket that attaches to
the slot opening in the case.

Hardware Configuration
This chapter tells how to setup the motherboard hardware, including
instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches
and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you
begin the installation procedure.
2-1 Power Precautions
Before you begin configuration, make sure you are working with an
unplugged motherboard. Many components are powered by low-volt-
age current, but there still may be a dangerous electric current com-
ing from the leads and power supply. You should take the following
precautions:
Turn off the power supply, and unplug the power cord
before you begin.
Unplug all cables that connect the motherboard to any
external devices.
Note:
Before making connections to the board, make sure that power to
the system is turned off.

2.3 Setting jumpers
You may configure your motherboard to match the needs of your
applications 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.
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 sudden rush of power.

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching
the board. Modem electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric 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 External Frequency Settings:(JP1,JP13)
The Motherboard supports Intel Socket 370 CPUs with 66MHz
or 100MHz external frequency. Setting the jumper according
to the external frequency of the CPU you are going to install
on the motherboard.
Note: This motherboard does not support 66MHz SDRAM.
The PC-100 compliant SDRAM must be used because of the
strict timing issues involved under this speed.
Clear CMOS:(JP4)
To clear the data stored in the CMOS, always turn off the
computer first, then move this jumper to 2-3 pin to clear the
CMOS. The jumper should be set to 1-2 pin (3V battery back
up) before turn on the computer.

2.4 System Memory (DIMM)
The motherboard supports up to 512MB PC-100 SDRAM. No
hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing the
system memory.
The Intel 810 chipset does not support ECC, However, ECC
memory modules may still be used, but the ECC function will not be
available.
Note:
1.The motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DIMMs). Sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level)
unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM).
2.This motherboard does not support 66MHz SDRAM. The
PC-100 compliant SDRAM must be used because of the strict
timing issues involved under this speed.
Installing DIMM 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 Unbuffered for this motherboard.

2.5 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’s 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.

The motherboard provides a mini-DIN mouse connector,
which supports a PS/2 style mouse.
2. PS/2 Keyboard Connector:
This connector is for a standard keyboard using a PS/2 plug
(miniDIN). This connector will not allow standardAT (large
DIN) keyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter
on standard AT keyboards. In some applications, the
keyboard is not present, the standard BIOS will report an
error or failure during the Power-On Self Test (POST) after
resetting the PC. You may select “All, But Keyboard” under
the “Halt On” in “Standard CMOS SETUP” of BIOS SETUP.
This allows the system non-keyboard operation without the
system halting during the POST.
