How to setup Jumper
The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the Jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin 1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.
Jumper close Jumper open Pin1-2 close
CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever.
Step4: Put the CPU fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

Installing DDR Module
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the
retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on
the slot such that the notch on the DIMM
matches the break on the slot.
2. Insert the DIMM firmly and vertically into
the slot until the retaining chip snap back in
place and the Dimm is properly seated.

Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality. It has two
HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).
The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect
up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be connected to
IDE1.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1-5
This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI
slot is designated as 32 bits.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video
efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

Einstellung der Jumper
Die Abbildung verdeutlicht, wie Jumper eingestellt werden. Pins werden durch die
Jumper-Kappe verdeckt, ist der Jumper ”geschlossen”. Keine Pins werden durch die
Jumper-Kappe verdeckt, ist der Jumper “geöffnet”. Die Abbiildung zeigt einen 3-Pin
Jumper dessen Pin1 und Pin2 ”geschlossen“ sind, bzw. es befindet sich eine
Jumper-Kappe auf diesen beiden Pins.

Installation der CPU
Schritt 1: Ziehen Sie den Hebel seitlich vom Sockel weg. Heben Sie den Hebel dann
in 90-Grad-Winkel nach oben.
Schritt 2: Suchen Sie nach der scharfen Kante, die auf Drehpunkt des Hebels
weisen muss. Die CPU passt nur, wenn sie richtig ausgerichtet ist.
Schritt 3: Drücken Sie die CPU fest in den Sockel und schließen Sie den Hebel.
Schritt 4: SteckenSieIhren CPU-Lüfterauf dieCPU.Schließen SiedieStromversorgungsstecker

Für Dual-Kanal DDR (128-Bit) High-Performance, muss man mindestens
2 oder mehr DIMM-Module installieren. (Es ist unbedingt, daß man DIMMA
mit DIMMB als ein Paar benutzt.) Wenn man nur ein DIMM installiert,
funktioniert der Spreicher nur 64-Bit.

Installation von DDR-Modul
1. Öffnen Sie einen DIMM-Slots, indem Sie
die seitlich Chips nach außen drücken.
Richten Sie das DIMM-Modul so über dem
Slot aus, dass das Modul mit der Kerbe in
den Slot passt.
2. Drücken Sie das DIMM-Modul in den Slot,
bis die seitlichen Clips zuschnappen und
das Modul fest sitzt.

Diskettenanschluss: FDD1
Das Motherboard enthält einen standardmäßigen Diskettenanschluss, der 360K-,
720K-, 1.2M-, 1.44M- und 2.88M-Disketten unterstützt. Dieser Anschluss
unterstützt die mitgelieferte Bandkabel des Diskettenlaufwerks.
Festplattenanschlüsse: IDE1 und IDE2
Das Mainboard hat einen 32-Bit Enhanced PCI IDE-Controller, der die Modi
PIO0~4, Bus Master sowie die Ultra DMA/33/66/100/133- Funktion zur Verfügung
stellt. Dieser ist mit zweii HDD-Anschlüssen versehen IDE1 (primär) und IDE2
(sekundär).
Die IDE-Anschlüsse können eine Master- und eine Slave-Festplatte verbinden, so
dass bis zu 4 Festplatten angeschlossen werden können. Die erste Festplatte
sollte immer an IDE1 angeschlossen werden.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5
Dieses Motherboard ist mit 5 standardmäßigen PCI-Slots ausgestattet. PCI steht
für Peripheral Component Interconnect und bezieht sich auf einem Busstandard für
Erweiterungskarten, der den älteren ISA-Busstandard in den meisten
Schnittstellen ersetzt hat. Dieser PCI-Slot ist für 32 bits vorgesehen.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Ihr Monitor wird direkt an die Grafikkarte angeschlossen. Dieses Motherboard
unterstützt Grafikkarten für PCI-Slots, aber es ist auch mit einem Accelerated
Graphics Port ausgestattet. AGP-Karten verwenden die AGP-Technologie, um die
Wirksamkeit und Leistung von Videosignalen zu verbessern, besonders wenn es
sich um 3D-Grafiken handelt.
