Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity could damage components on this mainboard.
Take the following precautions while unpacking this mainboard
and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their original
static-proof package until you are ready to install them.
2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
mainboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
about those damages.

I/O Pannel
Before installing this mainboard, it is necessary to remove the
original I/O panel and install our I/O panel to the system case as
follows.
A back view of the system case
Install A CPU
This mainboard has a Socket 370 supporting FCPGA Celeron,
FCPGA Pentium III and Tualatin/Tualatin Celeron processors.
Do not support PPGA Celeron processor.
To ensure reliability, ensure that your processor has a
heatsink/cooling fan assembly.
Do not try to install a Socket 7 processor in the Socket-370. A
Socket 7 processor such as the Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6
does not fit in the Socket 370. Do not try to install PPGA
Celeron processor in Socket-370.
The following list notes the processors that are currently supported
by this mainboard.
FCPGA Celeron: 300~966 MHz, FSB: 66 MHz
FCPGA Pentium III: 500~1130MHz, FSB: 100MHz, 133MHz
Tualatin/Tualatin Celeron: up to 1.4GHz, FSB: 100MHz(only
for model M758LT and M758T)

Installing a Socket-370 Processor
Install a processor into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-370
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-370 and FAN1. Pull the locking lever out
slightly from the socket and raise it to the upright position.
2. Identify the Pin-1 corner of the processor by its beveled edge.
3. Identify the Pin-1 corner on the Socket-370. The Pin-1 corner
is at the top of the locking lever when it is locked.
4. Insert the processor into the socket matching the Pin-1 corner.
The processor should drop into place freely without force.
5. Push locking lever down and hook it under the catch on the
side of socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All processors should be installed together with a heatsink
/cooling fan, connecting the cable from the fan to the CPU fan
power connector FAN1.

Install Memory
This mainboard has two DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
work out this mainboard. You must install the first memory
module in the DIMM1 socket to give shared memory to the
onboard VGA display circuitry.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered
SDRAM memory modules. If the installed CPU uses a 100MHz
system bus, you must use PC100 or PC133 memory; if a 66MHz
system bus, you must use PC66 memory. You can install any size
memory module from 16 MB to 512MB, so the maximum memory
size is 2 x 512MB = 1GB.
Edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs coinciding
with spacers in the DIMM sockets that memory modules can only
be installed in the correct orientation.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the
socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert
it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so
that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place
by fitting into notches on the edge of the module.

Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins connected together with caps. Jumper caps
change the way of mainboard’s operation by changing the
electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a jumper cap connects two
pins, we say those pins are SHORT; if the cap is removed, they are
OPEN.
Jumper JP7: Clear CMOS Memory
This jumper can clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.
