Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
2.1
Installing
I/O Panel
It can block the transmission of electric RF, protect the internal components, and promote
airow after installing this panel. Before installing motherboard, you need to install this panel. If
required, you should uninstall the optional panel rst.
2.2
Installing Motherboard
Most computer bases have many xing holes to allow the mainboard to attached securely,
and will not short. There are two ways to attach the mainboard:
(1) Using studs
(2) Using spacers
Usually, the best way to attach the board is using
studs. When you are unable to use studs, spacers can
attach the board also. Please check the board
carefully, you will nd there are many xing holes,
line up these holes with your computer base. If holes
can line up and there are screw holes, means you can
attach the board with studs. If all holes line up and
there are only slots, means you can only attach with
spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them
into the slots. After doing this, slide the board into slots to x it. Before chassis tted, make
sure everything is ok.
If there have studs locked on board, and there is not xed holes between studs and board,
uninstall the studs to avoid shorting PCB circuit.

2.3 Installing Memory Module
This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDRIII (Double Data Rate) SO-DIMM slots.
Before starting the installation, please read the following warning messages:
1. Make sure your purchased memory specication is supported with the motherboard;
2. Before installing or removing memory, make sure that the computer is turned off;
3. The memory is designed with fool-proof marker, if you insert with wrong direction, it can
not be inserted.
Installing memory:
1. Before installing or removing memory, please turn off the power and unplug the AC cable.
2. Carefully grasp both ends of memory, and do not touch the metal contacts.
3. Align the memory to slots, and pay attention to the direction.
4. Inclining 30 degrees and insert, then press down untill you hear the "clicking" sound (to
avoid any demage, your strengh must be gentle).
5. To remove the memory, push out both latch of DIMM slot at the same time, and take it
out.
Memory installation illustration (only for reference):
Installation of Dual Memory Channels
This board has 2 DIMM slots, and each one representing a memory channel. The memory
works on dual channel mode only when this two memories have been all installed successfully
(Note：When use the dual channel mode, you must select the memories which with the same
capacity, frequency, and brand at the same time).
：Static will demage the electronic components of computer and memory, when doing
above step, you should contact with a grounded metial object to remove the static from your
body.

Chapter 3 Jumpers & Headers Setup
3.1 Checking Jumper Settings
• 2-pin jumper: Plug the jumper cap onto both
pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the
cap or plug it on another pins (keep for future
use) will activate the jumper.
• 3-pin jumper: Plug the jumper cap onto pin
1~2 or pin 2~3 will make it CLOSE (SHORT).
shorted by plugging the jumper cap in.
How to identify the PIN1?
Please check the Motherboard carefully, the PIN1
is marked by "1", white thick line or white triangle.
3.2 Unpluging the CMOS Header
When: (a) the CMOS data demaged, (b) you forgot the supervisor or password of BIOS,
(c) you are unable to boot-up because the frenquency of CPU was incorrectly, or (d) there
have modifications on CPU or memory modules, means you need to unplug the CMOS
header.
It uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS setup, and reset the BIOS value to default.
• Pins 1 and 2 open circuit (Default): Normal situation
• Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS setup
To clear the CMOS setup and set to default values:
1. Power off the system.
2. Plug the jumper cap to pin 2-3, and wait for 3-5 seconds, then plug the cap back to pin
1-2.
3. Power on the system.
4. If the frequency of CPU set incorrect, please press the <Del> button to enter the BIOS
setup menu after powering on system.
5. Reset the running speed of CPU to default or to suitable value.
6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility
BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called ROM BIOS when it was
stored in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip. Now manufacturers would like to store BIOS in
EEPROM which means Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series
of mainboard is stored in EEPROM, and is the first program to run when you turn on your
computer.
BIOS performs the following functions:
1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called "POST", for Power On
Self Test).
2. Loading and running your operating system.
3. Helping your operating system and application programs manage your PC hardware by
means of a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.
4.1 About BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:
1. Changing the hardware of your system. (For example: installing a new Hard Disk etc.)
2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (For example: changing the system time or date,
or turning special features on or off etc.)
3. Enhancing your computer's behavior. (For example: speeding up performance by turning
on shadowing or cache)
4.2 To Run BIOS Setup
First access BIOS setup menu by pressing <F1> key after “POST” is complete (before OS is
loaded). After the rst BIOS be setupped(or loaded default values) and save, the <DEL> key
will be pressed if you will enter BIOS setup menu.
4.3 About CMOS
CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. CMOS is used to store the BIOS settings you
have selected in BIOS Setup. CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn
on your computer, the BIOS Looks into CMOS for the settings you have selected and
congures your computer accordingly. If the battery runs out of power, the CMOS data will
be lost and POST will issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this
happens, you have to replace the battery and check and congure the BIOS Setup for the
new start.
4.4 The POST (Power On Self Test)
POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. This program will test all things the BIOS does
before the operating system is started. Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, a
unique number which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.
