CPU Installation
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket then raise the lever up
to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin A in the socket and lock for the white dot or cut edge in
the CPU. Match Pin A with the white dot/cut edge then insert the
CPU.
3. Press the lever down. Then Put the fan on the CPU and buckle it
and put the fan’s power port into the JCFAN1, then to complete the
installation.

DDR DIMM Modules: DDR1-2
Supports DDR200/266/333 unregistered 184-pin non-ECC DDR
SDRAM DIMMs. Does not support double-size x16 DDR DIMMs.

DDR 1 64MB/128MB/256MB/512MB/1GB
*1
DDR 2 64MB/128MB/256MB/512MB/1GB

Max is
2GB
* The list shown above for DRAM configuration is only for reference.
 If use FSB 400MHz CPU, the memory run only at DDR200/266.
 If use FSB 533MHz CPU, the memory run only at DDR266/333.
How to install a DIMM Module
1. The DIMM socket has a
“Plastic Safety Tab”, and the
DIMM memory module has an
“Asymmetrical notch”, so the
DIMM memory module can only
fit into the slot in one direction.
2. Push the tabs out. Insert the
DIMM memory modules into the
socket at a 90-degree angle, then
push down vertically so that it will
fit into the place.
3. The Mounting Holes and plastic
tabs should fit over the edge and
hold the DIMM memory modules
in place.

Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots
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
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.
Serial ATA Connector: (JSATA1/ JSATA2) (Optional)
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
1.5GHz speed. For more details, please refer to the next chapter
(FastTrak 376).
Raid Connector: RAID1 (Optional)
This connector supports RAID0 or RAID1 configuration through the
onboard Serial ATA (FastTrak 376) controller chip. You can use the
IDE feature to set up a disk array configuration and to support additional
IDE devices. However, it can only support master mode IDE HDD.
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.
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 audio,
network and modem only (slave card only) .
(If the function CODEC is onboard, then the CNR slot only support
slave card. But if the H/W Audio is onboard, then the CNR slot
support only primary card.)

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.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-5
This motherboard is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for
Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for
expansion cards, which has, supplanted the older ISA bus standard in
most ports. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
