How to set up Jumper
The illustration shows to how set up jumper. 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 pin1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.
Jumperopen Jumperclose Pin1-2close
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 wards the lever
pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.
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 vertically and firmly into the slot
until the retaining chip snap back in place and the

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots
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 0~5, 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 1-3
This motherboard is equipped with 3 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.
Communication Network Riser Slot: CNR1
The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and it defines a
hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports modem only.
Serial ATA Connector: JSATA1/ JSATA2 (only support with
South Bridge VT8237)
The motherboard has a PCI to SATA Controller with 2 channels SATA interface, it
satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and can transfer data with 1.5 Gb/s speed.

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.
Jumper geöffnet Jumper geschlossen Pin1-2 geschlossen
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: Stecken Sie Ihren CPU-Lüfter auf die CPU. Schließen Sie die
Stromversorgungsstecker für CPU-Lüfter an JCFAN1 an. Dann
beenden Sie die Installation.

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.
