Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
In this chapter, the installation of the DPX2-S320 with the processor and other
hardware connected to your system will be explained in detail.
Installation Procedures
Installation procedures will be broken up into six major parts.
Step 1:Jumper setting
Step 2: Install memory (DDRAM modules)
Step 3: Install Prestonia CPU
Step 4: Attach cables to connectors
Step 5: Install expansion cards
Step 6: Power connection
Warning
This motherboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be
easily damaged by static electricity. Follow the instructions carefully to
ensure correct installation and to avoid static damage.

BIOS
Step 1. Jumper Setting
1. Clear COMS Header
The onboard button cell battery powers the CMOS RAM. It contains all the
BIOS setup information. Normally, it is necessary to keep the jumper
connected to pin2 and pin3 (Default) to retain the RTC data as shown below.
Note
Should you want to clear the RTC data:
(1) Soft off your computer
(2) Short pin1 and pin2 with jumper for few seconds
(3) Connect pin2 and pin3 with jumper
(4) Turn on your computer by pressing the power-on button from front-panel.

BIOS
(5) Hold down <Delete> during bootup and select <Load Optimal Defaults> or
<Load Failsafe Defaults> option in the selection “Exit”. Then re-enter
BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.

BIOS
Step 2 Install Memory
DPX2-S320 uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). Six DIMM sockets
are available for 2.5 Volts (power level), PC1600 (DDR200) and PC2100
(DDR266), Double Data Rate Memory (DDR) with 128MB, 256MB, 512MB,
and 1GB combinations. And the total memory size is between 128MB and
12GB.
IMPORTANT
II. As DPX2-S320 has strict memory type and timing
requirements. Hence, before you attend to buy the DDR DIMM
(Double Data Rate) and use in the DPX2-S320, please consult
your local reseller for memory suggestion first.
III. DPX2-S320 only supports PC1600 (DDR200) or PC2100
(DDR266) compliant at 100/133 MHz DDR modules.
IV. Since the DPX2-S320 memory bus is synchronized to front
side bus (FSB) speed, it is not allows a user to use PC200
DIMM with 100 MHz FSB CPU in the DPX2-S320. Otherwise
system may not able to bootup. When a user usesPC1600
(DDR200) DIMM with 100 FSB CPU, it will result in 100MHz
memory speed operation.
Memory Installation Procedures
1. Locate the DIMM modules on the DPX2-S320.
2. Make sure the DIMM module’s pins face down and match the socket’s
size as depicted below.

BIOS
3. Insert the module down to the DIMM socket in with both hands and press
down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place.(The tabs of the
socket will close-up to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM touches

the socket’s bottom.)
4.Repeat step1 to step 3 to add additional DIMM modules.
IMPORTANT
You have to insert two memory DIMMs in #DDR-A1 and #DDR-B1 or
#DDR-A2 and #DDR-B2 or #DDR-A3 and #DDR-B3 DIMMs sockets (slots or
connectors) while you install the system at the first time that you want to use
it ; such as the system will be able to boot up, otherwise, it can not work yet.
