Hardware Installation
2-1 Unpacking
This mainboard package should contain the following:
The J-TX98 R2 mainboard
USER’S MANUAL for mainboard
Cable set for IDE x1, Flopp x1, COM1 & COM2 x1, LPT & PS/2 Mouse x1,
VGA x1
CD for Drivers PACK
The mainboard contains sensitive electronic components which can be easil
damaged b 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 ma
cause damage to our board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages
on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the s stem board and place it onl on
a grounded anti-static surface component side up. Again inspect the board for
damage.
Press down on all of the socket IC’s to make sure that the are properl inserted.
Do this onl 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 read to install our mainboard. The mounting hole pattern on the
mainboard matches the IBM-AT s stem board.
It is assumed that the chassis is designed for a standard IBM XT/AT main
board mounting. Place the chassis on the anti-static mat and remove the cover.
Take the plastic clips, N lon stand-off and screws for mounting the s stem board,
and keep them separate.

2-7 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The main board provides a 321-pins ZIF Socket 7. The CPU on mother board
must have a fan attached to prevent overheating.
WARNING: Without a fan, the PU will be overheated and cause damage to both the
PU and the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off our s stem and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF
socket and open it b first pulling the lever sidewa s awa from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the white dot as our
10

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 onl 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 completel inserted, hold down on the fan and close the
socket’s lever.
IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers SW1 “DIP Switch for PU Type” on page 6 and
jumper JP15 “ PU Voltage Selection” on page 6 depending on the PU that
you install.

First read our expansion card documentation on an hardware and software
settings that ma be required to setup our specific card.
Installation Procedure:
1. Read the documentation for our expansion card.
2. Set an necessar jumpers on our expansion card.
3. Remove our computer’s cover.
4. Remove the bracket on the slot ou intend to use.
5. Carefull align the card’s connectors and press firml .
6. Secure the card on the slot with the screw ou remove in step 4.
7. Replace the computer’s cover.
8. Setup the BIOS if necessar .
9. Install the necessar software drivers for our expansion card.
2-9 External Connectors
1. Power connector: AT Power Connector (12-pins block): PW1
11

This connector connects to a standard AT power suppl . To connect the leads
from the power suppl , ensure first that the power suppl is not plugged. Most
power supplies provide two plugs (P8 and P9), each containing six wires, two
of which are black. Orient the connectors so that the black wires are located
in the middle.
Using a slight angle, align the plastic guide pins on the lead to their receptacles
on the connector. Once aligned, press the lead onto the connector until the
lead locks into place.

ATX Power Suppl connector. This is a new defined 20-pins connector that
usuall comes with ATX case. The ATX Power Suppl allows to use soft
power on momentar 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 suppl turned on, the full power will not come into the
s stem board until the front panel switch is momentaril pressed. Press this
switch again will turn off the power to the s stem board.

AWARD BIOS SETUP
Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user modif
the basic s stem configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will
be stored in a batter -backed CMOS RAM so data will be retained even when the
power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM sta
unchanged unless here is configuration change in the s stem, such as hard drive
replacement or new equipment is installed.
It is possible that CMOS had a batter failure which cause data lose in CMOS-RAM.
If so, re-enter s stem configuration parameters become necessar .
