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.

Chapter 2
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

2: Mainboard Installation
Install Memory
The mainboard has two DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
use the mainboard.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered PC100
or PC133 SDRAM memory modules. You can install any size
memory module from 32 M to 512 M , so the maximum
memory size is 2 x 512 M = 1 G .
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 umper 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 JBAT1: Clear CMOS Memory
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.

Install the Mainboard
Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a
micro ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. 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 ATX
connector on the mainboard.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the JFAN2 fan power connector on
the mainboard.
If there are a microphone-in jack and/or a speaker-out jack on the
front pannel, connect the cables from the microphone-in and
speaker-out jacks to the PANEL2 header on the mainboard. Then
set the jumper JMIC1 to open setting.
Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the PANEL1
switch and LED connector header. See the illustration below for a
guide to the header

Floppy Disk Drive
The mainboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can
support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5” or 5.25” wide, with
capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2M , 1.44M , or 2.88M .
Install your drives and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy
disk drive header FDD1.
IDE Devices
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives,
and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others.
The mainboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or
two IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable, you
must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the drives as
Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you how to
configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The Master
device connects to the end of the cable.
Install the device(s) and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the device(s) to the
Primary IDE channel connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a second
IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Secondary IDE
channel connector IDE2 on the mainboard. If you have two
devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must be Slave.
Internal Sound Connections
If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you
can connect the drive audio cable to the onboard sound system.
On the mainboard, locate the two 4-pin connectors CDIN1 and
CDIN2. There are two kinds of connector because different brands
of CD-ROM drive have different kinds of audio cable connectors.
Connect the cable to the appropriate connector.

AMR Slot
The AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot is an industry standard slot
that allows for the installation of a special audio/modem riser card.
Different territories have different regulations regarding the
specifications of a modem card. You can purchase an AMR card
that is approved in your area and install it directly into the AMR
slot.
Wake On Modem (WOM)
You can configure your system so that it powers down by software
and can be resumed by alarms. If you have installed a fax/modem
card, connect the fax/modem to the Wake On Modem header
WOM1. You can then use the setup utility to program your
computer to resume from a power saving mode whenever there is
an incoming call to the fax/modem.
Wake On LAN (WOL)
If you have installed a LAN adapter expansion card, connect the
card to the Wake On LAN connector WOL1. This allows
incoming traffic to resume the system from a software power
down. You need to enable this feature in the system setup utility.
