Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, 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. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

Chapter 2
Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard in a system, follow the procedures in this
chapter:
Identify the mainboard components
Install a CPU
Install one or more system memory modules
Verify that any jumpers or switches are set correctly
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case)
Connect any extension brackets or cables to the mainboard
connector headers
Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections
to the mainboard connector headers.
Note:
1. efore installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JP1 is set
to Normal, the default setting is set to Clear CMOS. See this
chapter for information on locating JP1 and the setting options.
2. Never connect power to the system during installation. Doing
so may damage the mainboard.

mainboard.
Note: Any jumpers on your mainboard that do not appear in
this illustration are for testing only.

I/O Ports
The illustration below shows a side view of the built-in I/O ports
on the mainboard.
Install CPU
This mainboard has a Socket-370 which supports Celeron PPGA
and FCPGA Pentium III processors.
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.
The following list notes the processors that are currently supported
by this mainboard.
FCPGA Pentium III: 500~933MHz, FS : 100MHz, 133MHz
PPGA Celeron: 300~600MHz, FS : 66 MHz

M768MR Mainboard User’s Manual
Installing a Socket-370 Processor
A processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-370
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-370 and CPUFAN1. Pull the locking lever
out slightly from the socket and raise it to the upright position.
2. On the processor, identify the Pin-1 corner by its beveled edge.
3. On the Socket-370, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner
is at the end of the locking lever when it is locked.
4. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the
socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into
place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All processors should be installed with a combination heatsink/
cooling fan, connect the cable from the fan to the CPU fan
power connector CPUFAN1.

2: Mainboard Installation
Install Memory
The mainboard has two DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
use the mainboard.
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 the
installed CPU uses a 66MHz system bus, you must use PC66
memory. You can install any size memory module from 8 M to
256M , so the maximum memory size is 2 x 256M = 512 M .
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with spacers in the DIMM sockets so 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 which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.
Ju per JP1: Clear CMOS Me ory
Use this jumper to 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.
Function Ju per Setting
Normal Operation Short Pins 1-2
Clear CMOS Memory Short Pins 2-3
Ju per JP2: Keyboard Power On Selector
If you enable the keyboard power on feature, you can use hot keys
on your keyboard as a power on/off switch for the system.
Note: The system must provide 1A on the +5VSB (+5V Standby)
signal before using the Keyboard ower On function.
Function Ju per Setting
Enable Keyboard Power On Short Pins 1-2
Disable Keyboard Power On Short Pins 2-3

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a
micro-ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. You can
install this mainboard in any ATX case. Special micro-ATX cases
are also available with a reduced number of expansion slot bays
and a smaller power supply unit. Ensure that your case has an I/O
cover plate that matches the ports on this mainboard.
Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by
the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting
points on the chassis.
1. Connect the power connector from the power supply to the
ATX1 connector on the mainboard.
2. If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect
the cable from the cooling fan to the CASFAN1 fan power
connector on the mainboard.
3. Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the PANEL1
switch and LED connector header.
