Chapter1 Introductionof PowerProLX
The mainboard is designed for the new generation of CPU. It
supports the Intel CPU SLOT1(Pentium®II), up to 1GB of
memory, super I/O, and Green PC functions. The mainboard
provides high performance for the server system and meets the
requirements of the desktop system for multimediain the future.

Chapter 2 Installing the Mainboard
This PowerPro LX mainboard not onlyprovides all standard
equipment for classic personal computers,but also providesgreat
flexibility for meeting futureupgradedemands. This chapter will
introducestep bystepall the standard equipment and will also
present, as completely as possiblefutureupgradecapabilities. This
mainboard is ableto support all Intel Pentium®II processors now
on the market. (For details, see specificationsin Chapter 1.)
This chapter is organized according the following features:
Installing the Mainboard to theCasing
Standard externalconnectors
Jumpers and switches
Installing of theCPU.
Installing the system memory.
Before proceedingwiththe installation
Before installing the mainboard please be sure to turn off or
disconnect the power supply unit. Before making any
modifications to the hardware configuration of the mainboard, the
power supply to any areas of the mainboard you plan to modify
should beturnedoff toavoidunnecessarydamage to thehardware.

User friendlyinstructions
Our objectiveis to enable thenovicecomputer user to
performthe installation bythemselves. We have attemptedto
write this documentin a very clear,conciseanddescriptive
manner to helpovercome anyobstacles you mayface during
installation. Please read our instructions carefully and follow
them carefullystep-by-step.
Installingthe Mainboard tothe Casing
Most computer caseswill have a base on which therewill be many
mountingholes thatallowsthe mainboard to be securely attached
and at the same time,prevents short circuits.
There are two waysto attach the mainboardto the base.
 with spacers
 or with bolts
In principle,the bestway to attach the motherboard is with bolts,
and only if you are unable to do this should you attachthe board
withspacers.Takeacarefullook atthemainboard andyouwillsee
many mountingholeson it. Line these holes up withthe mounting
holesonthebase.Iftheholeslineup,andtherearescrewholesthis
