Introduction
This mainboard has an AMD Duron processor. This mainboard
supports front-side bus speed of 200MHz.
This mainboard integrates the SiS740 Northbridge and
SiS962/962L Southbridge chipsets that support a DDR/SDRAM
interface, Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 function and remarkably
high system performance under all types of system operations.
This mainboard has a built-in AC97 Codec, providing an AMR
(Audio Modem Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem
application, and a built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network
Interface. This mainboard has the embedded 256-bit 3D AGP
Graphics Accelerator with 64MB frame buffer, supporting AGP
4X 266MHz mode up to 1GB/s bandwidth, which provides a direct
connection between the graphics sub-system and memory so that
the graphics do not have to compete for processor time with other
devices on the PCI bus. The mainboard supports built-in USB 2.0
providing higher bandwidth, implements Universal Serial Bus
Specification Revision 2.0 and is compliant with UHCI 1.1 and
EHCI 0.95.This mainboard also supports the optional built-in
IEEE1394a function only when SiS962 SB is installed.
There is a set of ATX I/O Ports including two PS/2 ports for
keyboard and mouse, one parallel port, one serial port and one
VGA port, one MIDI/Game port and maximum four USB 2.0
ports—two back-panel ports and onboard USB header making two
extra USB ports by connecting the Extended USB Module to the
mainboard.
The board is Micro ATX size and has power connectors for an
ATX power supply.

Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity could damage components on this mainboard.
Take the following precautions while unpacking this mainboard
and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their original
static-proof package until you are ready to install them.
2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
mainboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
about those damages.

Chapter 2
Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard in a system, please follow the instructions
in this chapter:
qIdentify the mainboard components
qInstall one or more system memory modules
qVerify that all jumpers or switches are set correctly
qInstall the mainboard in a system chassis (case)
qConnect any extension brackets or cables to connecting
headers on the mainboard
qInstall other devices and make the appropriate connections to
the mainboard connecting headers.
Note:
1. Before installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JP1 is
under Normal setting. See this chapter for information about
locating JP1 and the setting options.
2. Never connect power to the system during installation;
otherwise, it may damage the mainboard.

Install Memory
The mainboard has two 168-pin/184-pin DIMM sockets for
SDRAM/DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
work out the mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but
you can not use them simultaneously.
DDR SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate
corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 200 MHz. It doubles the
rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the
rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional
power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
DIMM module reather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs
used by SDRAM.
For this mainboard, the maximum memory size is 1GB.
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs,
coinciding with spacers in the DIMM sockets that can only install
the memory module in the correct orientation.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the
socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert
it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so
that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place
by fitting into notches on the edge of the module.

Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.
Jumper JP1: Clear CMOS Memory
This jumper can clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.
Function Jumper Setting
Clear CMOS Memory Short Pins 1-2
Normal Operation Short Pins 2-3
Jumper J30: LAN LED Indicator
This jumper connected with a LAN device needs a LED indicator.
Device Pins
Link LED 1, +2
ACT LED +3, 4
Note: The plus sign (+) indicates a pin must be connected to a
positive voltage.

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a
Micro ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. You can
install this mainboard in an ATX case. Ensure that your case has an
I/O cover plate that matches the ports on this mainboard.
Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by
the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting
points on the chassis.
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the
ATX_PWR connector on the mainboard.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the SYSFAN fan power connector on
the mainboard.
Connect the cable from the PC speaker to the SPK1 header on the
mainboard.
