Hardware Installation
Before You Start
Before you start installing your mainboard we strongly recommend that you use a
grounded anti-static mat. We further recommend that you attach an anti-static
wristband, which is grounded at the same location as the mat, to your wrist.
2.2. Installation Steps
You need to complete the following installation steps before you can use your PC.
•Check and Set the Mainboard Settings.
•Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
•Install the Memory Modules.
•Install the Expansion Cards.
•Connectthe Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires and the Power Supply.
•Setup the system BIOS
2.3. CPU, Memory and Expansion Slots
2.3.1. Installation of the CPU
2.3.1. Installation of the CPU
To install your processor, please complete the following set of instructions
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top of the CPU. This mark indicates Pin 1 of the
CPU.
2. Locate Pin 1 for the Socket on the mainboard.
3. There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this lever sideways and then lift
it to a 90-degree angle.
4. Insert the CPU into the Socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 for the CPU is inserted
into Pin 1 of the Socket.
4. When the CPU is installed correctly push the lever back into place.
5. Install a proper heat sink with cooling fan for proper heat dissipation. Failing
to install a heat sink with cooling fan may cause overheating which will burnout
your CPU and damage your mainboard.
IMPORTANT: CPU COOLING FAN
Please ensure that you have an approved heat sink with cooling fan. Without a
proper heat sink with cooling fan you will damage both the mainboard and the
CPU.
2.3.2. Memory Modules
These mainboards all have two 168-pin DIMM sockets and are able to support a maximum
memory of 1 GB. The DIMM sockets are located on the right hand side of the board, behind
the IDE and FDD connectors (see below). To install these DIMM’s into these sockets, make

sure the white lever at each side of the socket has been pulled down to an angle of approxi-
mately 45°. Make sure that the DIMM is in the correct orientation. Place the DIMM on the
socket and push down firmly. The whitelevers will come back up and lock the module in place.
Important: The DIMM’s can only be fitted into the sockets in one orientation. Make sure that
the DIMM’s are in the correct orientation and the pins are correctly aligned before you insert
them.

Top View of a 168-pin DIMM Socket
2.3.3. PCI Slots
These boards come with three PCI slots. They are located on the left hand side of the board.
Both PCI and PCI expansion cards may require IRQ’s. This mainboard complies with Plug and
Play (PnP) specifications. Whenever a PnP compliant card is added the system will automati-
cally be configured and the IRQ’s will be assigned automatically.
When you are inserting your PCI card make sure that the pins are correctly aligned. When the
pins are properly aligned with the hole’s in the slot, push down gently.

NOTE: “Out Of Memory” Error Message
If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, Windows
98 Second Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95 you may experience memory problems. Two symptoms of these
problems are being unable to run an MS-DOS session while you are running Windows or the computer may stop
responding while Windows is starting.
There are three possible solutions to this problem:
1) Reduce the amount of memory Vcache uses to 512 MB or less by altering the MaxFileCache setting in the
System.ini file.
2) Use the System Configuration Utility to reduce the amount of memory Windows uses to 512 MB or less.
3) Reduce the memory installed on your computer to 512 MB or less.
This problem can also occur if you are using an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video adapter.

2.4.2. Floppy Disk Drive (FDD)
Connector: CN 8
Type: 34 pin block
The FDD connector can support two Floppy drives. It is located at the front of the mainboard.
To connect, use the ribbon-cable that has been provided. Make sure that the red strip is
connected to PIN 1 of the connector.
2.4. Internal Connectors
2.4.1. COM 2 Connector
Connector: CN 4
Type: 10 pin
Optional for the 361 BS
You already have one external serial port connector COM 1 (see External Connectors). This
internal connector gives you the option of having a second serial port (COM 2). The cable for
this serial port is optional so you need to purchase it separately.
Top View of Serial Port 2 (COM 2)
2.4.3. Primary and Secondary IDE connectors
Connector: CN 9 (primary)/ CN 10 (secondary)
Type: 40 pin blocks
The 361 mainboards all have two IDE connectors: a primary and secondary. Each IDE connec-
tor can support two IDE drives. These mainboards can therefore support up to four IDE de-
vices each. If you install two hard drives, you need to configure the second drive to slave
mode in the BIOS setup. Please refer to your hard drive manual for the appropriate jumper
settings.

2.4.6. WOL (Wake On LAN) Connector
Connector: CN 16 (WOL)
Type: 3 pin
Optional for the 361 BS
The WOL connector must be connected to a LAN card that has Wake-On-LAN (WOL) output.
This connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received through the
LAN card.
In order to use the WOL LAN card or the modem to trigger the power on the PC system, the
switching power supply must have the ability to provide a driving current of at least 720 mA
and be connected to a “5V standby” voltage.
2.4.7. ATX Power Supply Connector
Connector: CN 15
Type: 20 pin block
This must be connected to an ATX power supply. The plug from the power supply can only be
inserted in one orientation. Make sure the pins are correctly aligned. Find the correct orienta-
tion and push the plug down firmly.

ROM audio out. There are two types of connectors: housed and un-housed. Please insert the
correct supplied connecter into the appropriate connector.
2.4.9. USB 3 and USB 4 connectors
Connector: CN 30 (USB 3)/CN 31 (USB 4)
Type: 4 pin / 4 pin
You already have two USB ports available, USB 1 and 2 (see external connectors). These
connectors allow you to add on an optional kit to expand the total number of USB ports
available. This will allow you to use extra 2 USB devices. (See below and page 18 for the
diagrams).
