PM-9800 MAINBOARD MANUAL
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
•It’s easy to get overly excited about your purchase, and to jump right into installing the
system board into your case. Too many times, people fail to read the manual or insist on
installing it themselves, only to find out later that they’ve permanently damaged their
motherboard andas wellas theircomponents. Thoughthis manualwill makeinstallation
seem like a fairly simple procedure, it is not. So, if you’re not a technophile or have little
or no computer knowledge, consider asking your vendor or a trained technician to install
this board.
SET SW1, SW2, SW3 TO CONFIGURE THE BOARD FOR YOUR CPU
•It’s fairly easy to forget a jumper or two, so before you power on your system, make sure
to check & double check your settings so that you don’t prematurely burn out your CPU.
INSERT THE CPU INTO THE ZIF SOCKET
•Pullup thehandleand insertthe CPUwiththe dottedcorner alignedwiththe cornerof the
ZIF socket that looks like its missing a pinhole. Plug it in and pull down on the handle.
INSTALL YOUR MEMORY INTO THE CORRECT SOCKETS
•Insert your memory into the corresponding DIMM or SIMM sockets. Follow the instruc-
tions outlined in the memory section of this manual.
INSTALL THE MAINBOARD ONTO THE SYSTEM CHASSIS
•Makesure the mainboardis properlygrounded andmounted intothe case. Taketime to
do this properly as it makes the installation of your cards and cables easier.
CONNECT AND INSTALL YOUR CARDS & I/O CABLES
•Besureyour cablesandcards areproperlyoriented andpluggedin firmly. Seethehelpful
hint page for tips on connecting your i/o cables.
CONNECT YOUR CASE LED & SWITCH CABLES TO THE BOARD
CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLES TO THE BOARD
•Seethe mainboard diagrampage fortips onconnecting yourpower cables.
POWER ON AND GO INTO BIOS AND SETUP YOUR SYSTEM
•Press<del> duringmemory checkphase of POSTand seethe BIOSsetup pagesof this
manual for more details on setting up your system’s configuration. If you get a blank
screen, refer to the troubleshooting section for some tips on solving this problem.
