1-6 Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard.
Observing a few basic precautions can help you safeguard against dam-
age that could result in expensive repairs. Follow the measures below to
protect your equipment from static discharge:
Keep the motherboard and other system components in their anti-
static packaging until you are ready to install them.
Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system compo-
nent from its protective antistatic packaging. A grounded surface
within easy reach is the expansion slot covers at the rear of the
system case. or any other unpainted portion of the system chassis.
During configuration and installation, touch a ground surface fre-
quently to discharge any static electric charge that may build up in
your body. Another option is to wear a grounding wrist strap.
When handling a motherboard or an adapter card, avoid touching
its components. Handle the motherboard and adapter cards either
by the edges or by the mounting bracket that attaches to the slot
opening in the case.

9VAAV User’s Manual
The mainboard has some user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow
you to configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter con-
tains information on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
1. Setting system jumpers.
2. Install RAM modules.
3. Install CPU & FAN.
4. Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply.
5. Set up BIOS.
6. Set up system drivers and utility.
2-1 Setting System Jumpers
You may configure your motherboard to match the needs of your applica-
tions by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a jumper,
you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" a jumper, you remove the
clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, 3. In this case
you would connect either pin 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.

OPEN CLOSED CLOSED 2-3

9VAAV User’s Manual
Note: When you open the jumper, attach the plastic jumper cap to one of
the pins so you won't lose it.
Warning: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your board
whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power
is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the
sudden rush of power.
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
board. Modem electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic com-
ponents on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when
they are not in the chassis.
CPU External Frequency Settings:(JP8)
The Motherboard supports Intel Socket 370 CPUs with 66MHz or 100MHz
or 133MHz external frequency. Setting the jumper according to the exter-
nal frequency of the CPU you are going to install on the motherboard.

2-2 System Memory (DIMM)
The motherboard supports up to 768MB 100/133MHz SDRAM. No hard-
ware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing the system
memory.
Note:
1. The motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sock-
ets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) Synchronous Dynamic Ran-
dom Access Memory (SDRAM).
2. The 100/133 MHz compliant SDRAM must be used because of the
strict timing issues involved under this speed.
Installing system Memory
Insert the DIMM module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are
different on each side of the breaks, the module will be fitted only in the
orientation shown. The DIMM must be 3.3V for this motherboard.
2-3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The Motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370 and a SLOT 1. The CPU that
came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent
overheating. If this in not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on
your system. Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the pro-

16
9VAAV User’s Manual
cessor heat sink, or the processor could overheat and damage both the
processor and the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate
the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from
the socket then upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the
correct orientation as shown. The notched corner should point towards
the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four
corners, the CPU will only be fitted in the orientation as shown. The pic-
ture is for reference only: you should have a CPU fan that covers the top
side of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is
required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket’s
lever while holding down the CPU.
2-4 Expansion Cards
Always unplug the power supply when adding or removing expansion cards
or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage
to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
Expansion Card Installation Procedure The Motherboard has 3 PCI and 1
AMR expansion slots. You may install up to 3 PCI cards and 1 AMR card
on this motherboard. To install the PCI cards or AMR card, please follow
the following procedure:
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any nec-
essary hardware or software settings for you expansion card, such as
jumpers or switches.
2. Remove your computer system cover and the bracket plate with screw
on the slot you intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.
3. Carefully align the card connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.
5. Replace the computer system cover.
6. Setup the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.
Note: To install the AMR Card. You should set the "AC97 Modem" as
"auto" in the “I"INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS" of the BIOS Setup.

2-5 External Connectors
1.PS/2 Mouse Connector:
The motherboard provides a mini-DIN mouse connector, which supports
a PS/2 style mouse.
2.PS/2 Keyboard Connector:
This connector is for a standard keyboard using a PS/2 plug (mini DIN).
This connector will not allow standard AT (large DIN) keyboard plugs.
You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards. In
some applications, the
keyboard is not present, the standard BIOS will report an error or failure
during the Power-On Self Test (POST) after resetting the PC. You may
select "All, But Keyboard" under the "Halt On" in "Standard CMOS SETUP"
of BIOS SETUP.
This allows the system non-keyboard operation without the system halt-
ing during the POST.

3.Universal Serial BUS (USB) Ports 1 & 2:
There are two USB ports on this motherboard for connecting USB devices.
4.Parallel Port Connector:
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the system to a printer.
5.Serial Port COM1 connector:
The COM1 port is ready for a mouse or other serial devices. A second
serial port is available using a serial port bracket connected from the
motherboard to an expansion slot opening.

6.Serial Port COM2 connector:
The COM2 port is ready for a mouse or other serial devices. A second
serial port is available using a serial port bracket connected from the
motherboard to an expansion slot opening.
7.Joystick/MIDI connector:
You may connect game joysticks or game pads to this connector for play-
ing games. Connect MIDI devices for playing or editing audio.
8.Audio Port connectors:
The Audio Port Connectors on the motherboard are standard1/8"GAME-
AUDIO connectors. Line Out (lime) can be connected to headphones or
POWERED speakers. Line In (light blue) allows tape players or other
audio sources to be recorded by your computer or played through the Line
Out (lime). Mic (pink) allows microphones to be connected for inputting
voice.

9.Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors(IDE1 and IDE2)
The motherboard supports up to four IDE devices, including CD-ROM
drives, tape backup drives, Hard Disk Drives, and other IDE devices.
After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the
other end to your hard
disk(s). If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive
to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to your hard
disk documentation for the jumper settings. (Pin 20 is removed to prevent
the users inserting the IDE devices in the wrong orientation when using
ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged).
Note: Ultra DMA/66 IDE devices must use an 80-wire IDE cable or else
devices will automatically be limited to Ultra DMA/33 mode.
