2. Hardware Installation
1. Please make sure that the CPU used is supported by your motherboard.
2. Please be aware of the placement position of the CPU. If the CPU does not
insert properly, do not apply force but check the placement position.
3. Please make sure that an even layer of heat sink paste is added between the
CPU and the fan sink.
4. Please do not turn on the power prior to installing the fan sink. Doing so can
result in overheating and lead to permanent damage to the CPU.
5. Please follow the CPU specifications when setting the frequency. It is not
recommended that system speed settings exceed that of hardware
specifications. If you wish to set your system speed to exceed the recom
mended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg: CPU,
graphics card, memory, hard drive
2.1. Installation of a Socket A CPU and Fan Sink
2
When the CPU is inserted into its position, gently press the
metal lever downwards until a click is heard. Then add an
even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and fan sink
for heat dissipation.
1
Note the small gold colored triangle on one corner of the CPU.
Place the triangle in the corner closest to the metal lever and
gently insert the CPU into its position.
A Socket A CPU has two indented
corners and these corners must be
properly positioned during installation.
For information related to battery specifications and precautions, please
refer to the manufacturer instructions.
If you wish to delete the data stored in the CMOS, please follow the steps
below:
1. Please turn off your computer and unplug the power.
2. Remove the battery from the motherboard.
3. Wait 30 seconds and then replace the battery onto the motherboard.
4. Plug in the power supply and turn on your system.
BATTERY (Battery)
The improper removal of the battery can result in harm. When replacing a battery, please
make sure you use one that is of similar brand and model number.

10
English
2.2. Installation of Memory
1. Before installing or removing memory, please make sure that the computer power
is turned off to prevent hardware damage.
2. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. The memory can be in
stalled only when facing the correct position. If you cannot insert the module,
please switch directions.
4. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be
used.
1. Unfasten the clips on each end of the memory slots.
Correctly align the memory module in the slot and
push downwards..
2. Once the memory module is correctly inserted, the
clips will automatically refasten. If the memory mod
ule is positioned in the wrong direction, it will not
insert. If this occurs, please switch directions.
2.3. Installation of the Graphics Card
The motherboard supports DIMM memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect
memory capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be
inserted only in one direction.
1. Before installing the graphics card, please carefully
read the accompanying user manual. As well, make
sure the computer power is turned off.
2. Your graphics card must be 1.5V and support the
AGP4X specification.
3. When installing or removing the graphics card, first
pull out the white AGP knob before insertion or
removal. Releasing the AGP knob will hold the
graphics card firmly in place.
3
Position and
attach the clips
on one end of
the fan sink
firmly atop the
CPU. Please
4
Connect the 3-
pin cooler
power connec-
tor to the CPU

located on the
motherboard.
do the same for the clips on the other end of
the fan sink.

3. BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation within the CMOS. The CMOS SETUP utility allows the user
to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to
the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the "BIOSNow!" can be used.
The user can select "BIOSNow!" as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.

3.8. Frequency/Voltage Control
øThis allows user to configure CPU frequency and voltage settings.
øThis section is very dangerous for inexperienced users, and therefore it is not
recommended that these settings be altered. An incorrect setting can result in system
instability, corrupt data, or permanent hardware damage.
nLinear Frequency Control
Allows user to use Linear Frequency Control (default:Disabled)
nCPU Clock (MHz)
If you wish to use this feature, please set the "Linear Frequency Control" to Enabled. If this
feature is disabled, the currently CPU frequency will be displayed.
The CPU Clock can be input between 100MHz to 355MHz.
nDRAM Clock (MHz)
Allows user to adjust the DRAM clock frequency. (default:Auto)
Please note that if the DRAM clock frequency is incorrectly set, the system will be unable
to start. You can use the clear CMOS method to return the system to its default settings.
nAGP Voltage Control
Allows user to set the AGP voltage. (default:Normal)
Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the AGP voltage,
system instability or damage to the AGP card may occur.
Options: Normal (automatic setting of AGP voltage at 1.5V)
+0.1V (AGP voltage range)
nDRAM Voltage Control
Allows user to set the DIMM voltage. (default:Normal)
Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the DIMM voltage,
damage to the memory may occur.
Options: Normal (automatic setting of DIMM voltage at 2.5V)
+0.1V (DIMM voltage range)
