Mainboard Form-Factor
The board is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis.
ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the
chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With
these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing
them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to
the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of onboard I O.
Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers
to add new I O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to
systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their products in the
marketplace, and better meet your needs.
 Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.
 I O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. The
mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.
 A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard
reduces the system costs.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
The board has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power
supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the
systems front panel for system Power On Off button. The systems power On Off
button should be a momentary button that is normally open.
The board has been designed with Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the
system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On Off
button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the M Bs onboard
circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such
asWindows® 95 98 SE ME or Windows®2000.

Easy Installation Procedure
The following must be completed before powering on your new system:
3-1. CPU Insertion
3-2. EEPROM BIOS Remover
3-3. Jumper Settings
3-4. System memory Con iguration
3-5. Device Connectors
3-6. STR Function

CPU Insertion
CPU Insertion
Step 1
Open the socket by raising the actuation
lever.
Figure 2
Step 2
Insert the processor.
nsure proper pin 1 orientation by
aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with
the socket corner closest to the actua-
tion arm tip. The pin field is keyed to
prevent mis-oriented insertion.
Dont force processor into socket. If it does
not go in easily, check for mis-orientation
and debris. Make sure the processor is
fully inserted into the socket on all sides.
Figure 3

Installation
Page 3-3
Step 3
Close the socket by lowering and
locking the actuation lever.
Note: Intels reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum
heatsink based and a fan attached to the top on the fin array. (See igure 5)

DIMM Module Installation
Figure 7 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DDR
DIMM memory module.
DIMMs have 184-pins and one notche that will match with the onboard DDR
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the
socket at a 90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 8) until it fits tightly
into the DIMM socket (figure 9).

DIMM Module clip after installation
To remove the DIMM module simply press down both of the white clips on either
side and the module will be released from the socket.
