Chapter 2: Hardware Installations
2.1 CPU ASSEMBLY
A. Central Processing Unit (CPU) for Socket 939
Step 1:
Remove the socket protection cap.
Step 2:
Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step 3:
Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on CPU should point
towards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 4:
Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked position to complete
the installation.
Step 5: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it on the
retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the JCFAN1. This
completes the installation.
B. Central Processing Unit (CPU) for Socket 754
Step 1:
Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.

Step 2:
Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU should point
towards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 3:
Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked position to complete
the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it on the
retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the JCFAN1. This
completes the installation.

A. DDR Modules
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 snaps
back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
Notes:
To remove the DDR modules, push the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot outward at
the same time, and pull the modules out vertically.

3.2 EXTRA INFORMATION
A. BIOS Update
After you fail to update BIOS or BIOS is invaded by a virus, the Boot-Block function
will help to restore BIOS. If the following message is shown after boot-up of the
system, it means the BIOS contents are corrupted.
In this case, please follow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:
1. Make a bootable floppy disk.
2. Download the Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar website:
www.biostar.com.tw
3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respective BIOS from
Biostar website.
4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respective BIOS onto floppy disk.
5. Insert the bootable disk into floppy drive and press Enter.
6. System will boot-up to DOS prompt.
7. Type “Awdflash xxxx.bf/sn/py/r” in DOS prompt.

B. CPU Overheated
If the system shuts down automatically after power on of system for a few
seconds that means the CPU protection function has been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to
avoid damaging the CPU, and the system will not power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotating normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling the CPU speed.
After confirmation, please follow the steps below to relieve the CPU protection
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for a few seconds.
2. Wait for a few seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data.
(See “JCMOS1: Clear CMOS Header” section)
2. Wait for a few seconds.
3. Power on the system again.
3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
1. No power to the system at all
Power light don’t illuminate, fan
inside power supply does not
turn on.
2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not turn on.
1. Make sure power cable is securely
plugged in.
2. Replace cable.
3. Contact technical support.
System inoperative. Keyboard lights are
on, power indicator lights are lit, and
hard drive is spinning.
Using even pressure on both ends of the
DIMM, press down firmly until the module
snaps into place.
System does not boot from hard disk
drive, can be booted from optical drive.
1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged in;
check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.
2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard disks
are capable of breaking down at
any time.
System only boots from optical drive.
Hard disk can be read and applications
can be used but booting from hard disk
is impossible.
1. Back up data and application files.
2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install
applications and data using backup
disks.
Screen message says “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”
Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.
Cannot boot system after installing
second hard drive.
1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.
2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility
with other drives.
