Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the compo-
nents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel®Pentium®4 processor in the 478 pin
package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat
sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not
find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer.
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly, and
then close the lever to com-
plete the installation.
CPU Installation Procedures
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to
protect the CPU from overheating.
WARNING!
2. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the correct
orientation.

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissi-
pate heat, you need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the
CPU. Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
2. Position the heatsink onto the reten-
tion mechanism.
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips
get wedged in the holes of the reten-
tion mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4GHz
5. Connect the fan power cable from the mounted fan to the 3-pin fan power connector
on the board.

Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or
risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.
WARNING!

The mainboard provides 3 sockets for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up
to 3GB. You can install PC2700/DDR333, PC2100/DDR266 or PC1600/DDR200
DRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~3).

(DIMM 1~3)
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as
opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM mod-
ules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, worksta-
tions and servers.

Chapter 2

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be
installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or double-
sided modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
Slot Memory Module Total Memory
DIMM 1
(Bank 0 & 1)
S/D 64MB~1GB
DIMM 2
(Bank 2 & 3)

1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push
it in.
2. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Power Supply
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: CONN1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is
inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down
the power supply firmly into the connector.
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Be-
fore inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all compo-
nents are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
