1.3. System Health Monitor Functions System Health Monitor Functions
(optional for 366X-AC and 366X-AS)
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
1.3.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained on the CD. It
is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as the temperature of the
processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to
manually set a range to the items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set
range a warning message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the
Default Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good
working condition.
Note: Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.
The surround sound feature should be used together with a Front Utility Panel. This panel
brings the MIC-IN, LINE-IN and Earphones lines, together with some USB ports, to the
front of the system. The Front Utility Panel can be connected to the internal Front Audio
Connector. The Front Utility Panel is shown below.

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.
!Connect the 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 in-
serted 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. Fail-
ing to install a heat sink with cooling fan may cause overheating which will burn-
out 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 three 184-pin DDR DIMM slots and are able to support a
maximum memory of 3 GB. The DDR DIMM slots are located on the right hand side of the
board. To install the DIMM’s into these slots, make sure the white lever at each side of the
slot has been pulled down to an angle of approximately 45°. Make sure that the DIMM is
in the correct orientation. Place the DIMM on the slot and push down firmly.The white
levers will come back up and lock the module in place.

2.3.3. PCI Slots
These boards come with five 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 automatically 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.
Thereare 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 memoryinstalled on your computer to 512 MBor less.
This problem can also occur if youare using an Advanced GraphicPort (AGP) video adapter.
2.3.4. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot
AGP is a dedicated bus slot. It operates at 66 MHz and transfers data at a rate up to 106
MB/s. This allows 3D applications to run more smoothly. The 366X mainboards each
come with one AGP slot. These slots are able to support 1x, 2x and 4x AGP cards.

2.3.5. CNR (Communications Network Riser) Slot
(optional for 366X-AC)
These slots integrate audio, modem and networking on the same card. CNR specifications
support the Audio Codec 97 (AC 97) interface, LAN interfaces, USB interfaces and System
Management Bus (SMBus) interfaces (used specifically to provide Plug and Play functional-
ity). Each 366X mainboard is equipped with a single CNR slot.
2.4. Internal Connectors
2.4.1. 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 main-
board. To connect, use the ribbon-cable that has been provided. Make sure that the red
strip is connected to PIN 1 of the connector.
2.4.2. Primary and Secondary IDE connectors
Connector: CN 9 (primary)/ CN 10 (secondary)
Type: 40 pin blocks
The 366X mainboards all have two IDE connectors: a primary and secondary. Each IDE
connector can support two IDE drives. These mainboards can therefore support up to four
IDE devices 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 and WOM (Wake On Modem)
Connector
Connector: CN 16 (WOL)/CN 24(WOM)
Type: 3 pin
The WOL connector must be connected to a LAN card that has Wake-On-LAN (WOL) out-
put. This connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received
through the LAN card.
The WOM connector must be connected to a Modem that has Wake-On-Modem (WOM)
output. This connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received
from the Modem.
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.
