Quick Installation
Step 1. Install CPU card
Follow following to screw theProcessor Rentention Mechanism.

There are two sets of the Thread Studs need to screw to the Slot1’s
Processor Retention Mechanism by a criss-cross screw driver.
Plug theSlot1 CPU card into the Slot1 Rentention Mechanism in
horizontaldirection down to make sure that were contact correctly.

Step 2. Install CPU Cooler’s power
Hook the CPU Cooler’s power cable to JP1 that marked “FAN”.
Step 4. Adjust the CPU frequency
With the special design on this motherboard.Once the jumper
cap was inserted, it will automatically caculate the Internal/
External Clock and CLKMUL (Clock Multiplier). Just insert
the jumpercap to the CPU real frequency.

Module) must inserted in this 64 bit motherboard.
The J15/J16 were combined as Bank0,J9/J14 were combined as Bank1,
J7/J8 were as Bank2,J5/J6 were combined as Bank3.Any Bank can be
powered on by thesame pair (two pieces) of SIMM memorymodule.The

Step 6. Install the Internal Peripherals
The internal peripherals meansdevicesthat in the computer
chassis like the Floppy Disk Drive, HardDisk Drive, CD ROM
Drive …etc. With this motherboard package, there are 34, 40,
50 and 68 pin flat cable. Use these cables to connect the
motherboard and internal devices. All flat cable’s connectorhousing
have the key protect,this will guide you the correct direction
when you insert.
Step 7. Install the External Peripherals
The externaldevice meansdevicesthat outsidethe computer
chassis like the Serial mouse,Printer, PS/2 Mouse, External
Modem…etc. With this motherboa rd’s package there are two
10 pin cables convertto 9 and 25 pin D-Sub maleconnector
cable are for Serial port, one26 pin convert to 25 pin D-Sub
femaleconnectorcable is for Parallel port, one 5 pin housing
but 4 wires into a 6 pin Mini-DIN is for the PS/2 mouse.
Step 8. Install the SMI(System Management Interrupt)

Some computerchassis provides a SMI switch to front pannel
control. Use thechassis provides a 2 pin housing and connect
to this SMI switch(any direction can function this).

Step 9. Install the Reset switch
Most computerchassis provides a reset switch to front pannel
control. Use thechassis provides a 2 pin housing and connect
to this reset switch(any direction can function this). This will
provides the system a hardwarereset once thesystem was hang.

12
Step 10. Install the Keylock
Most computerchassis will provides a keylock switch.
Normally connect the marked keylock connectorto the
motherboard keylock.This will cause the keyboard out of
function once you switch the keylock to “Lock”. This will
prevent any un-authorized keyin.
Step 11. Install the Speaker
Connect the speaker to the motherboard’s speaker connector.
(normally the red cable is +5V power) Or follow the Chapter-0
Quick Installation Step 2, if you use the P55TV/TVS CPU
cooler or reference to the CPU Cooler’s operation manual)
Step 12. Install the Power LED
Some computerchassis provides a power LED for identify if
the system is on or off. Connect the power LED to the
motherboard’s TB LED connector. (normally the red cable is
+5V power)
Step 13. Install the Devices LED

Some computerchassis provides a device LED(Like HDD LED)
for identify if the device is under working or not. Connect the
device LED to the motherboard’s IDE/ SCSI LED connector.
(normally the red cable is +5V power)
Step 14. Install the Power Input
This SCSI motherboard providestwo type of power input, the
AT & ATX fordifferent choises.
The ATX power provides 1 set 20 pin cable for motherboard’s
power input. Once the ATX power was placed on this system,

13
the JP18(front panel power on/off switch) is necessory to be
connected.
Step 15. Install the Keyboard
Follow the keyboard cable’s key direction and connect to this
motherboard.
Step 16. Install the Display Card
Finally, follow the display card you have and insert in
horizontaldirection into the PCI/ISA expansion slot.
Step 17. Power on the system
Once the system was power on, on the lower left corner of the
screen will show ”Press DEL to enter SETUP, ESC to skip
memory test”. Then press “DEL” to enter BIOS setup for the
first time power on and choose the “LOAD SETUP
DEFAULTS” then BIOS will responds “Load SETUP
defa ult(Y/N)?”, press “Y” and “Enter”. Final choose “SAVE to
CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)?” by pressing “Y” and “Enter”.
Step 18. Enjoy this power SCSIMotherboard
After these steps of installation, the system should prepared
and can run most software.And you can follow the Operation
System and Application software install procedule to run.
