1-1 Preface
Thank you for purchasing this multifunction motherboard. It has the most flexibility that you can
find in today’s computer market. The motherboard integrates both Intel Pentium®II / Pentium®III &
Celeron™ (Slot 1) processor and Celeron™ PPGA / Coppermine FC-PGA (Socket 370) processor
interface into a standard ATX compatible system along with 3D Stereo Sound System audio chip
and many other new feature that meets future specification.
1-2 Feature of Motherboard
This motherboard is design for the PC user who wants highest possible quality and value in a
small package. This motherboard include following main features：
1-2-1 Overview
•Support both Slot 1 & Socket 370 CPU interface (You can only use one CPU interface at
a time).
•Support Jump-less solution for setting Front Side Bus Frequency (CPU Host Clock) and
CPU ratio under CPU Host/PCI clock of CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP.
•Conditionally support 133MHz * of Front Side Bus Frequency. This function allow user
select CPU Bus Frequency by the BIOS to approach Over-Clock possibility.
•Provide PC Health Monitoring to track CPU temperature, system temperature, system
voltage, and fan speed. When CPU current temperature is over CPU warning
temperature, system will slow down automatically in order to reduce the CPU’s
temperature (Option for motherboard that embedded PC Health Chip only).
•Logo-DIY: Provide CBROM utility for user to create their own loge in the BIOS.
•Built in high quality PCI-Based HRTF 3D Extension Positional Audio Chip (Option for
motherboard that embedded Audio Chip only)

-Professional digital audio interface to support 24-bit SPDIF IN and OUT (44.1K and 48K
format).
-HRTF-base 3D positional audio, supporting DirectSound™ 3D and Aural A3D™ interface.
- Digital functions that capable to provide hi-fi stereo, Dolby, 3D surround effects, and
playing MP3 music.
•You can add our Optical kit (Optional) to connect any optical Input/Output device for
super high quality sound transaction, such as playing & recording MD(Mini Disk)/CD;
CD-ROM directly recording to MD; combine with DVD player to create a home theater
system (This upgrade kit includes Optical Module, Optical Cable, and Software DVD
Driver).

Hardware Installation
2-1 Unpacking
This mainboard package should contain the following:
•The mainboard
•USER’S MANUAL for mainboard
•Cable set for IDE x1, Floppy x1
•CD for Drivers PACK
The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by electron-
static, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-
static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to
your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it only on a grounded
anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for damage.
Press down on the entire socket IC’s to make sure that they are properly inserted. Do this only on
with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
Warning: Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on the mainboard
matches the ATX system board.
It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard ATXmain board mounting. Place the
chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.
Take the plastic clips, Nylon stand-off and screws for mounting the system board, and keep them
separate.

2-7-1 The mainboard provides a Slot-1 for Pentium II/III processor. The CPU on board must have
a fan or heat sink attached to prevent overheating.
WARNING: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and
the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the Slot- 1 and place
RETENTION MODULE as following:
IMPORTANT: You must set jumper JP14,JP15 for “Bus Frequency Selection” on page6 depending on
the CPU that you install.
1. Attach heat sink to the CPU.
2. Place Part A on slot-1 and gently screw four corners on top of the mother- board.

2-7-2 The mainboard also provides a 370-pin ZIF Socket 370. The CPU on motherboard must
have a fan attached to prevent overheating.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open
it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.
Insert the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white dot should point towards the end of the
level. The CPU has a corner pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the one
orientation as shown as follow. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to
insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and close the socket’s lever.

Reference Design: Heatsink
•Intel’s reference design thermal solution is
an active heatsink; an extruded aluminum
heatsink base and a fan attached to the top
on the fin array.
• Heatsinks for the PPGA will not work with the
FC-PGA. A pedestal is required on the
underside of the heatsink to clear the socket
cam box.
• Recommended thermal interface material:
Chomerics* XTS454.

design heatsink

10
CPU Insertion
Step 1
Open the socket by raising the actuation lever.
Step 2
Insert the processor.
Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA
corner marking with the socket corner closest to the
actuation arm tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis-
oriented insertion.
Don’t force processor into socket. If it does not go in easily,
check for mis-orientation and debris.
Make sure the processor is fully inserted into the socket
on all sides.
Step 3
Close the socket by lowering and locking the actuation lever.

11
Heatsink Attachment
Keyed Edge
Thumb Tab
Step 1
Remove the protective liner from the thermal interface
material on the underside of the heatsink.
This liner is not normally present on the Intel reference
active heatsink.
Step 2
Orient the heatsink with the keyed edge of heatsink
along the cam box side of the processor.
The clip should be oriented so that the thumb tab will
engage on the cam box side of the socket.
Step 3
Seat the heatsink onto the processor and engage
the clip opposite from the cam box onto its socket
tab first.
CAUTION: Do not slide the heatsink once it is attached to
the processor as the thermal interface material will tear.
Instead lift the heatsink off and reseat it back down onto
the processor if required for proper alignment.
Step 4
Engage the thumb tab side of the clip onto the cam
box socket tab second.
Connect the fan cable to the appropriate header on the
motherboard.

2-8 Expansion Cards
You must read the documentation come with expansion card for any hardware or software
settings that may be required to setup your specific card.
Installation Procedure:
1. Read the documentation from your expansion card.
2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card.
3. Remove your computer’s cover.
4. Remove the bracket on the slot you intend to use.
5. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
6. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you remove in step 4.
7. Replace the computer’s cover.
8. Setup the BIOS if necessary.
9. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.
Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards
Some expansion cards may require an IRQ to operate. Generally an IRQ must be exclusively
assigned to only one device. In an standard design there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are occupied by the system and leaves 6 free for expansion cards.
With most recent device, the BIOS automatically assign an IRQ number to PCI expansion cards.
Please make sure there are no any of two devices use same IRQs, otherwise your computer may
experience some problems when those two devices are in use at the same time.
Assigning DMA Channels for Expansion Cards
Some devices may also need to use a DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel. DMA assignments
for this motherboard are handled the same way as the IRQ assignment process described above.
You can select a DMA channel in the PCI and PnP configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility.
2-9 External Connectors
1. Power Connector: ATX Power Connector (20-pin block): PL1
ATX Power Supply connector. This is a new defined 20-pins connector that usually comes
with ATX case. The ATX Power Supply allows to use soft power on momentary switch that
connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power On jumper pole on the motherboard.
When the power switch on the back of the ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not
come into the system board until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed. Press this
switch again will turn off the power to the system board.
