Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original
static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.
2. During installation, 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. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching
the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

Mainboard Installation
To install this mainboard in a system, follow the procedures in this
chapter:
Identify the mainboard components
Install a CPU
Install one or more system memory modules
Verify that any jumpers or switches are set correctly
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case)
Connect any extension brackets or cables to the mainboard
connector headers
Install any other devices and make the appropriate connections
to the mainboard connector headers.
Note:
1. efore installing this mainboard, make sure jumper JP1 is set
to Normal, the default setting is set to Clear CMOS. See this
chapter for information on locating JP1 and the setting options.
2. Never connect power to the system during installation. Doing
so 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-370 which supports Celeron PPGA
and FCPGA Pentium III processors.
Do not try to install a Socket 7 processor in the Socket-370. A
Socket 7 processor such as the Pentium-MMX, or the AMD K5/K6
does not fit in the Socket 370.
The following list notes the processors that are currently supported
by this mainboard.
FCPGA Pentium III: 500~800MHz, FS : 100MHz, 133MHz
PPGA Celeron: 300~533MHz, FS : 66 MHz

M757MR Mainboard User’s Manual
Installing a Socket-370 Processor
A processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-370
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-370 and CPUFAN1. Pull the locking lever
out slightly from the socket and raise it to the upright position.
2. On the processor, identify the Pin-1 corner by its beveled edge.
3. On the Socket-370, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner
is at the end of the locking lever when it is locked.
4. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the
socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into
place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All PPGA Celeron and FCPGA Coppermine processors should
be installed with a combination heatsink/cooling fan, connect
the cable from the fan to the CPU fan power connector
CPUFAN1.
Install emory
The mainboard has two DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
use the mainboard.
10
Socket-370
Pin-1 Corner
CPUFAN1

2: Mainboard Installation
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered
SDRAM memory modules. If the installed CPU uses a 100MHz
system bus, you must use PC100 or PC133 memory. If the
installed CPU uses a 66MHz system bus, you must use PC66
memory. You can install any size memory module from 16 M to
512M , so the maximum memory size is 2 x 512M = 1G .
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with spacers in the DIMM sockets so that memory
modules can only be installed in the correct orientation.
To install a module, push the retaining latches at either end of the
socket outwards. Position the memory module correctly and insert
it into the DIMM socket. Press the module down into the socket so
that the retaining latches rotate up and secure the module in place
by fitting into notches on the edge of the module.
Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins which can be connected together with
jumper caps. The jumper caps change the way the mainboard
operates by changing the electronic circuits on the mainboard. If a
jumper cap connects two pins, we say the pins are SHORT. If a
jumper cap is removed from two pins, the pins are OPEN.

Jumper JP1: Clear CMOS Memor
Use this jumper to 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.

For this mainboard, you can also obtain a serial port extension
bracket and an Optic module extension bracket. Install them by
following the steps below.
Serial Port Extension Bracket
The mainboard has a header for an optional second serial port. You
can implement the second serial port by connecting this extension
bracket with a serial port to the onboard serial port header COM2.
1. On the mainboard, locate the header COM2 for this bracket.
2. Plug the serial cable into COM2.
3. In the system chassis, remove a blanking plate from one of the
expansion slots and install the extension bracket in the slot.
Use the screw that held the blanking plate in place to secure
the extension bracket.
