9 RSVD Reserved 10 NC No pin
Hard Drive Activity LED
Connecting pins 1 and 3 to a front panel mounted LED provides visual indica-
tion that data is being read from or written to the hard drive. For the LED to
function properly, an IDE drive should be connected to the onboard IDE inter-
face. The LED will also show activity for devices connected to the SCSI (hard
drive activity LED) connector.
Power / Sleep / Message Waiting LED
Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single- or dual-color, front panel mounted LED
provides power on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication.
Reset Switch
Supporting the reset function requires connecting pins 5 and 7 to a momen-
tary-contact switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board
resets and runs POST.
Power Switch
Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a
momentary-contact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain
contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The
time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry. After receiving a power
on/off signal, at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recog-
nizes another on/off signal.

Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that
you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors
with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes
across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard
or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the
clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can
clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and sys-
tem bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these
settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the
settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not
overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of
the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can per-
manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a proc-
essor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is
based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of
the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache
memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components:
12

Follow these instructions to install the Retention Module and CPU:
1. Remove the existing retention module (if applicable).
2. Position the backplate
against the underside of
the mainboard; secure
the 4 screws firmly on
the retention module.
Note: Do not over tighten
the screws.
3. Install your CPU. Pull up
the lever away from the
socket and lift up to 90-
degree angle.
4. Locate the CPU cut
edge (the corner with the
pinhole noticeably miss-
ing). Align and insert the
CPU correctly.
13

5. Press the lever down.
6. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.
7. Put the CPU Fan down
on the retention module
and snap the four reten-
tion legs of the cooling
fan into place.
8. Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place.
9. Connect the CPU Cool-
ing Fan power cable to
the CPUFAN1 connec-
tor. This completes the
installation.
Notes: • To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least.
• CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of
CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also
vary.
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be standard or registered
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
The CPU supports 100MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs and DDRs can
synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over a 133 MHz memory bus.
Note: Please set the correct jumper settings for JT1~JT11 first as described on
page 8 of this chapter.
14

SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate corresponding with
the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by
transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V
unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs
used by SDRAM.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Note: You must install at least one memory module in order to work out this
mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you can’t use them
simultaneously.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
2. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot:

4. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the
edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM
This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE Devices
Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-
board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. When installing two
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains
how to do this.
About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 33/66/100. UDMA is a technology that
accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize per-
formance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables
that support UDMA 33/66/100.
Installing a Hard Disk Drive
1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1
(A):
Note: Ribbon cable connectors
are usually keyed so that they can
only be installed correctly on the
device connector. If the connector
is not keyed, make sure that you
match the pin-1 side of the cable
connector with the pin-1 side of the
device connector. Each connector
has the pin-1 side clearly marked.
The pin-1 side of each ribbon ca-
ble is alwa
y
s marked with a
