Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity could damage components on this mainboard.
Take the following precautions while unpacking this mainboard
and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their original
static-proof package until you are ready to install them.
2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible.
If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
mainboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
about those damages.

Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard in a system, please follow the instructions
in this chapter:
qIdentify the mainboard components
qInstall a CPU
qInstall one or more system memory modules
qVerify that all jumpers or switches are set correctly
qInstall the mainboard in a system chassis (case)
qConnect any extension brackets or cables to connecting
headers on the mainboard
qInstall other devices and make the appropriate connections to
the mainboard connecting headers.
Note:
1. Before installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JP1 is
under Normal setting. See this chapter for information about
locating JP1 and the setting options.
2. Never connect power to the system during installation;
otherwise, it may damage the mainboard.

I/O Ports
The illustration below shows a side view of the built-in I/O ports
on the mainboard.
Install A CPU
This mainboard has a Socket-462 that supports AMD K7
processors.
To ensure reliability, ensure that your processor has a
heatsink/cooling fan assembly.
Do not try to install a Socket-370/Socket-7 processor in the Socket-
462. A Socket-370/Socket-7 processor such as the PPGA Celeron,
FCPGAPentium-III, Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6 does not
fit in the Socket-462.
The following list indicates these processors are currently
supported by this mainboard.
Athlon XP: 2600+ MHz; FSB: 266 MHz
Athlon: 650 MHz~1.4 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz, 266 MHz
Duron: 550 MHz~1.2 GHz and up, FSB: 200 MHz

Installing a Socket-462 Processor
Install a processor into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-462
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-462 and CPUFAN. Unlock the socket by
pressing the locking lever slightly sideways, and then lift it to
the upright position.
2. On the processor, identify the Pin-1 corner by its beveled edge.
3. On the Socket-462, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner
is at the end of the locking lever when locked.
4. Match the Pin-1 corner of CPU with the one of socket, and
insert the processor into the socket. No force is required and
the processor should drop into place freely.
5. Push down the locking lever and hook it under the latch on the
edge of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All processors should be installed with a combination
heatsink/cooling fan, connect the cable from the fan to the
CPU fan power connector CPUFAN 1.

Install Memory
This mainboard accommodates three184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM DIMM sockets. You must
install at least one memory module in order to work out the
mainboard.
When you install DDR200/DDR266 memory modules, the
memory bus can run up to 100/133 MHz.
The DDR SDRAM DIMMs can synchronously work with 100
MHz or operates over a 133 MHz system bus.
You must install at least one memory module in order to use the
mainboard. Each module can be installed with up to 1.5GB
memory capacity
Installation Procedure
To install a module, please follow these steps:
1. Push down the latches on each side of the DIMM socket.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. The DIMM
sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed
with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.
3. Check the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector
matching the notches in the DIMM socket.
4. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press it firmly
down until it is seated correctly. The socket latches are
levered upwards and lock the edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins that can be connected together with
jumper caps. Jumper caps change the operating way of the
mainboard by changing the electronic circuits. If a jumper cap
connects two pins, these pins are SHORT; if it is removed, these
pins are OPEN.
Jumper JP1: Clear CMOS Memory
This jumper can clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup
Utility are incorrect and prevent your mainboard from operating.
To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from
the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR
setting for a few seconds.

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is an
Micro ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. You can
install this mainboard in an ATX case. Ensure that your case has an
I/O cover plate that matches the ports on this mainboard.
Install the mainboard in a case. Follow the instructions provided by
the case manufacturer using the hardware and internal mounting
points on the chassis.
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the PWR1
connector on the mainboard.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the SYSFAN1 fan power connector
on the mainboard.
Connect the cable from the PC speaker to the SPK1 header on the
mainboard.
