2．Install memory.
3．Install other expansion cards.
4．Connect all signal line, cable, panel control wiring, and power supply.
5．Turn on computer, and finish BIOS program setting.
Key components of this motherboard are Integrated circuit and these components
could be easily damaged by electrostatic influence. So, before installing this unit, please
always keep the following precautions in mind:
1．Hold the board by edges and don’t touch any components, plugs or socket pins.
2．Wear anti-static gloves/wrist strap while touching the integrated circuit components, such as
CPU, RAM, etc.
3．Put those unused or uninstalled components in static shielding bags or trays.
4．Please first check the power switch is off before connecting the power plug.
2.3 Memory Installation
The motherboard has 2 x DDRⅢslot. Please follow steps below to install the memory bank:
1．Align the notch of the DDRⅢmemory bank with the socket. Insert the memory bank into
the socket and press the memory bank vertically and evenly on both sides until the memory
bank enters into the slot.
2．Select the memory bank that matches your motherboard.
2.4 Jumper Settings
Please refer to following instructions to do jumper settings before installing your hardware
devices.
Remark: How to identify the PIN1 of all jumpers and interfaces: Please observe the mark
near the plug and socket, which is a “1” or bold line or triangular symbol; And please look at the
back of PCB, the one in the shape of square is the PIN 1; and PIN1 for every jumper is
remarked by a white narrow near it.
2.4.1 CMOS Data Remove/Keep Setting（JCC）
CMOS is powered by the onboard button cell. Clear CMOS will lead to permanent
elimination of previous system settings（factory default）
