Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that
you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors
with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes
across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard
or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the
clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can
clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and sys-
tem bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these
settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the
settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not
overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of
the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can per-
manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This mainboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing a proc-
essor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is
based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of
the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache
memory.

CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components:
Note: The pin-1 corner is marked with an arrow
Follow these instructions to install the Retention Module and CPU:
1. Remove the existing retention module (if applicable).
2. Position the backplate
against the underside of
the mainboard, secure
the 4 screws firmly on
the retention module.
Note: Do not over tighten
the screws.
3. Install your CPU. Pull up
the lever away from the
socket and lift up to 90-
degree angle.

13
4. Locate the CPU cut
edge (the corner with the
pinhole noticeably miss-
ing). Align and insert the
CPU correctly.
5. Press the lever down.
6. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.
7. Put the CPU Fan down
on the retention module
and snap the four reten-
tion legs of the cooling
fan into place.
8. Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place.
9. Connect the CPU Cool-
ing Fan power cable to
the CPUFAN1 connec-
tor. This completes the
installation.
Note:CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of
CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also
vary.

14
Installing Memory Modules
The mainboard has two 168-pin and 184-pin DIMM sockets for SDRAM/DDR
(Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory modules.
The CPU supports 400MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs can synchro-
nously work with 133 MHZ memory bus and DDRs can operate over a 266
MHz memory bus.
Note: Please set the correct jumper settings for JP1 and JT1~JT10 first as de-
scribed on page 7 of this chapter.
SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate corresponding with
the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by
transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V
unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs
used by SDRAM.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
You must install at least one memory module in order to use the mainboard.
Note: You cannot use DDR SDRAM and SDRAM simultaneously.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
2. Align the memory module with the slot. TheDIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot:

4. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the
edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM
This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE Devices
Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-
board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. When installing two
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains
how to do this.
About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 66/100. UDMA is a technology that accel-
erates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize
performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE ca-
bles that support UDMA 66/100.

16
Installing a Hard Disk Drive
1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1
(A):
Note: Ribbon cable connectors
are usually keyed so that they can
only be installed correctly on the
device connector. If the connector
is not keyed, make sure that you
match the pin-1 side of the cable
connector with the pin-1 side of the
device connector. Each connector
has the pin-1 side clearly marked.
The pin-1 side of each ribbon ca-
ble is always marked with a
colored stripe on the cable.
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the hard disk drive IDE connector (B). It
doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on
the hard disk drive (C).
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect
your hard disk drive. If it doesn’t, enter the Setup Utility and use the IDE Hard
Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the hard disk drive that you have in-
stalled.
Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive
1. Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1
(A). If you have already installed
an HDD, use the other connec-
tor on the IDE cable.
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are
usually keyed so that they can only
be installed correctly on the device
connector. If the connector is not
keyed, make sure that you match the
pin-1 side of the cable connector with
the pin-1 side of the device connec-
tor. Each connector has the pin-1
side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of
each ribbon cable is always marked
with a colored stripe on the cable.
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It
doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on
the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).
5. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the
mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D).
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect
your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn’t, enter the Setup Utility and configure
the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed.
