Chapter 1
Static Electricity Precautions
1. Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
2. Keep the mainboard, and other components, in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
3. During an installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, frequently discharge any static
electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During the
installation lay the mainboard on top of the static-proof
packaging with the component side facing upwards.
5. Inspect the mainboard for any damage caused during transit.
Ensure that all the components that are plugged into sockets
are correctly seated.
6. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
apply power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

Chapter 2
Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard into your system, follow the procedures
in this chapter:
Identify the mainboard components
Install the correct processor
Install one or more memory modules
Verify that any jumpers or switches are at the correct setting
Install the mainboard in the system chassis
Install extension brackets/options
Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections
to the mainboard headers
Note: Before installing the mainboard, you must ensure that
jumper JP4 is set to the Normal setting. See this chapter for
information on locating JP4 and changing the jumper
setting.
Note: Please do not use the AC po er cord to connect the
system case to a po er outlet until you have completely
installed the mainboard and components. In some
circumstances, the po er management of the system might
damage components and create unsafe conditions by
allo ing po er to flo before the installation is complete.
Note: The PCI3 slot can only be used if you disable the
onboard sound system using jumper JP3.

Install the Processor
This mainboard is installed with a socket-7, and so it may be
installed with any of the socket-7 processors including the Intel
P55C (MMX) series, the Cyrix/IBM 6x86L/6x86MX/MII series,
the AMD K6/K6-2/K6-III series, the IDT C6 series, and the
WinChip 2/2A The mainboard supports system bus speeds of 60,
66, and 75 MHz
The board supports CPU plug and play, so the system can
automatically install the processor with the correct clock speed and
the correct system bus frequency To automatically configure the
processor, use the BIOS setup program to select the CPU speed
and system bus frequency See chapter three for more information
To ensure reliability, make sure that your socket-7 processor is
fitted with a heatsink/cooling fan assembly.
The socket-7 processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)
socket-7 on the mainboard

the socket and swing it to the upright position

Pin-1 Corner
Socket-7
FAN1

Chapter 2
2 On the socket-7 processor, identify the pin-1 corner by noting
that it has a slight bevel
3 On the socket-7, identify the pin-1 corner The pin-1 corner is
on the same side as the locking lever, closest to the top of the
lever when it is in the locked position
4 Match the pin-1 corners and insert the socket-7 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 locks the socket-7 processor in the
socket
6 If the socket-7 processor is installed with a heatsink/cooling
fan assembly, connect the cable from the fan to the CPU fan
power connector FAN1
Install Memory
The mainboard has two DIMM slots that can be installed with
memory modules You must install at least one memory module in
order to use the mainboard You must install the first memory
module into DIMM1 so that the system can share some of the
memory with the built-in graphics system A second module can be
installed in DIMM2
10
DIMM2
DIMM1

Expansion Slots
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, memory modules
installed with SDRAM memory chips The board supports 3 3V
memory and also 5V memory You can select the memory voltage
by using the jumper JP6 See the next section for information on
using JP6
You can install any size of memory module from 16 MB up to 256
MB, so the maximum memory size is 2 x 256 MB = 512 MB
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with struts in the DIMM slots, so the memory modules
can only be installed in the correct way
On the DIMM slot, pull the locking latches at either end of the
slots outwards Position the memory module correctly and insert it
into the DIMM slot Press the module down into the slot so that the
locking latches lever inwards and lock the module in place
Set the Jumpers
Jumpers are sets of pins that 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
