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 Bs onboard
circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such
asWindows® 95 98 SE ME or Windows®2000.

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 actuation arm
tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis-
oriented insertion.
Dont force processor into socket. If it does
not go in easily, check for mis-orientation and
debris. Make sure the processor is fully in-
serted 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: Intels reference design thermal solution is an active heatsink; an extruded alumi-
num heatsink based and a fan attached to the top on the fin array. ( ee Figure 5)

Section 3-3
System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout
The board supports (3) PC133/VC133 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory
Module). The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) .
DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns),
125MHz (8ns) or 133MHz (7.5ns)bus speed.
When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.
Figure 6 and Table 1 show several possible memory configuration.
* SDRAM supports 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB DIMM modules.
* e recommend to use PC100/VC100 Memory Module for bus speed
between 66MHz and 100MHz and PC133/VC133 Memory for bus
speed over 100MHz.
* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking)
may severely compromise the integrity of the system.

DIMM Module Installation
Figure 7 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM
memory module.
DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard 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).

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.

(This is connected to the power button on the case. Using the Soft-
Off by Pwr-BTTN feature, you can choose either Instant Off (turns
system off immediately), or 4 sec delay (you need to push the button
down for 4 seconds before the system turns off). When the system is
in 4 sec delay mode, suspend mode is enabled by pushing the button
momentarily.)
