Do not place the system in the following locations. It may cause
malfunctions of the system.
zLocations with sudden changes in temperature. A sudden
change in temperature causes condensation to form, which
could result in failures of the system.
zLocations with strong vibration, Failure to follow this warn-
ing may cause not only malfunctions of the system but per-
sonal injury or property damage to the surroundings.
zDo not use a power outlet that shares the ground line with
another (especially the one to which a device with large power
consumption is connected) for the system.
Pre-Installation Procedure
Before you install your motherboard into a chassis, it’s convenient to install
the CPU, install the memory modules, and set all the jumpers to correct
settings.
Jumpers Setting Explain
This motherboard has jumpers that need to be set correctly. You can use a
jumper cap to connect two adjacent pins. When a jumper cap connects two
pins, we say that the pin are SHORT. If you remove a jumper cap from two
pins (or placed on just a single pin), we say that the pin are OPEN. The
examples and illustrations below show the different positions of a jumper cap
on the typical 3-Pin jumper. By changing the jumper cap, you change the
circuit of the motherboard and enable or disable certain feature or properties
of the board.
User’s Manual

Locate the Jumpers on the Motherboard
JP4: Clear CMOS Memory Jumper
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. The setup utility
is stored in CMOS, so you might need to clear this memory if incorrect setup
data is stopping your system from starting, or your system can not boot-up
because you forgot password and the system BIOS has been updated.
Please following instructions can be performed to clear CMOS memory.
zDisconnect the ATX power supply cable from the motherboard, then move
the jumper cap to short Pins 2-3 of JP4 for 3-5 seconds.
zReturn the jumper cap to Pins 1-2 (Default setting) of JP4.
zReconnect the power supply cable and turn on your system power. Then
access BIOS setup, please refer to the BIOS configuration application.

J5:Wake-UponLANConnector
This connector that used for remote wake up system through a network. If
you have install a network adapter add-on card, you can cable the card to the
J5 connector. If you enable the wake on LAN setting in the BIOS setup,
incoming network traffic can resume the system from a power-saving mode
or software power down.
This feature requires that the Wake-Up by PCI card is set to enabled (see
“PowerManagementSetup”underchapter3BIOSsetup)andthatyoursystem
has an ATX power supply unit with at least 720mA / +5V standby power.
BAT1: Lithium CR2032 Battery
It is a coin-cell style Lithium CR2032 battery is used to provide power to the
Realtime Clock and CMOS memory for keep the data inviolate and effective.
The Realtime Clock which provides the data and time to the system. The
CMOSmemoryisused for keepingtheinformationofthesystem configuration,
so the system can automatically boot-up OS every time.
The battery has a 2-3 years life if the system is not power up. When the
system power up, the power for the Realtime Clock and CMOS memory is
supplied from the 3.3V power to extend the life of battery. The users can
change a new battery to replace old one after it can’t work or BIOS doesn’t
keep its settings.

that support this feature. You must also configure the setting through “UART2
Mode Select” in chapter 3 “Integrated Peripherals” to select whether UART2
is directed for use with [HPSIR]or [ASKIR]. Connect a ribbon cable from the
module to the motherboard according to the pin definitions.

To Install the CPU and Cooling Fan
This motherboard designed for Intel FC-PGA Celeron / Coppermine and VIA
Cyrix111 processors. The system utilizes the VIA Apollo Pro-133A chipset
with Award BIOS. It can support speed of 300MHz through 733MHz on the
Intel CPU and up to 533MHz on the Cyrix111 CPU, and FSB of 66MHz to
133MHz.
The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can easily be
damaged by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with
your fingers. You should be able to insert the CPU into the socket
with virtually zero force. Do not press down hard on the CPU as
you will bend or break pins.
The CPU require a heatsink / fan. Failure to provide adequate
cooling of the CPU may seriously affect system performance or

Follow the procedure below to install the PGA370 type CPUs.
zOn the motherboard, locate Pin-1 on the CPU is denoted by a small dot
on one of the corners and Pin-1 on the PGA370 socket is denoted by an
angled corner.
zThen open the locking lever when the CPU is insert into the PGA370
socket. Push down lightly on the CPU, and lower the arm on the PGA370
socket to secure the CPU. A squeaking noise is normal as the arm lowers.
Never force a CPU into a socket. Forcing a CPU to seat will bend the pins
on the CPU and possible damage the motherboard.
zAfter the CPU is securely seated, install the appropriate cooling device.
We strongly recommends a heatsink / fan combination. Consult with your
retailerfor othercooling options. Seethe figurebelowto installthe heatsink

cooling fan cable into the cooling fan connector on the motherboard.
There will be a plastic clip assembly that will force you to connect
the fan cable correctly.

When the system goes into sleep state, the fan should be shut down to
eliminate audible noise and reduce power consumption. You can monitor
the fan speed and the fan must come with a tachometer output. The CPU and

To Install the SDRAM Memory Module
This motherboard uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can
accommodateup512MBofSDRAM.The168-PinDIMMs(DualIn-lineMemory
Modules) must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered variety. The position of the notch in
the SDRAM key position will tell you whether or not a SDRAM is unbuffered
(see the figure below), also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted
into the DIMM socket on the motherboard. You must tell your retailer the
correct SDRAM type before purchasing.
The SDRAM memory module is an extremely sensitive electronic
component. Make sure to touch a metal object to discharge static
electricity from your body before working with the SDRAM. Do

not touch the board terminals with a bare hand nor place the
board directly on the desk.
This motherboard operates on a 3.3 volt standby for the DIMM
banks. Because of this, you need to unplug the AC power cord
before installing your SDRAM memory modules. Otherwise, the
motherboard may automatically power up when the memory is
inserted into the socket.
PC-100 or PC-133 SDRAM memory module is required if CPU
bus speed is at 100MHz or 133MHz. Since the motherboard are
manufactured with performance in mind, you should use add-in
components that match. It is highly recommended that the
SDRAM memory are PC-100 or PC-133 compliant. Also at least
one unbuffered SDRAM memory module must be installed for the
system to POST.
Follow the procedure below to install the SDRAM memory module.
zOn the motherboard, locate the DIMM socket.
zOpen the plastic clips on both end of a desired DIMM socket. To install
your SDRAM memory module, align your module up so that the pins fit
into the socket. There is only one way that your memory module can fit
properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is align up with the short gap
in the DIMM socket. Install the memory module to the DIMM sockets,
starting from DIMM1, push down vertically on the module with even force.
Do not shove one end in first; doing so will bend the DIMM socket pins.
zTo lock the memory module into place, push the plastic clips on both end
of the socket onto the notches in the ends of the SDRAM memory module
(see the figure below).
User’s Manual
20
zTo remove your SDRAM simply pull the clips back, and pull up on the
modules. Then place the SDRAM memory module in an anti-static bag as
soon as you remove them to avoid static damage. Keep it in a location
with little dust, low humidity environment.
Install the Motherboard in a Case
After you have prepared the motherboard by installing a processor, one or
more memory modules, and have set the jumpers correctly, install the
motherboard into a chassis and begin connecting essential peripherals items
to the connectors on the motherboard.
This is a Micro ATX motherboard, so you must use a system case that is
installed with an ATX power supply unit. The case should have opening in the
rearedgeforallthefourexpansionslotsthat are availableonthismotherboard.
Make sure that the system case has a two-tier I/O template on the rear side
that matches the two-tier I/O portarry on this motherboard.
This motherboard can support two floppy disk drives and four IDE devices,
so you might want to choose a case that allows you to install a full component
of six devices. Follow the instructions given with the case to install the
