1: Introduction
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, please follow the instructions
in this chapter:
Identify the mainboard components
Install a CPU
Install one or more system memory modules
Verify that all jumpers or switches are set correctly

Mainboard User’s Manual
Install CPU
This mainboard has a Socket-478 which supports Intel Pentium 4
series processors.
To ensure reli bility, ensure th t your processor h s
he tsink/cooling f n ssembly.
Do neither try to install a Socket 370 processor nor a Socket423 in
the Socket-478. A Socket 370 processor such as the Pentium III, or
Celeron , does not fit in the Socket 478.
The following processor is currently supported by this mainboard.
Intel P4 478: 1.4GHz ~ 2.2GHz, FS : 400MHz
Installing a Socket-478 Processor
A processor installs into the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket-478
on the mainboard.
1. Locate the Socket-478 and CPU FAN JP1. 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-478, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner
is at the top of the locking lever when it 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 processors should be installed with a combination heatsink/
cooling fan, connect the cable from the fan to the CPU fan
power connector JP1.
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V
unbuffered SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be
standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory).
The CPU supports 100MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs
and DDRs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over
a 266 MHz system bus.
You must install at least one memory module in order to work out
the mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you c n
not use them simult neously.
SDRAM provides 800 M /s or 1 G /s data transfer rate
corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the
rate to 1.6 G /s and 2.1 G /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.

Mainboard User’s Manual
Installation Procedure
The mainboard accommodates two memory modules. You must
install at least one module in any of the three slots. Each module
can be installed with up to 2G system memory.
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. The
DIMM 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.
Setting Jumper Switches
Jumpers are sets of pins that 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.

Ju per JP3: Clear CMOS Me ory
This jumper can 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 main oard from operating. To clear
the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power ca les from the
main oard 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 an
ATX size mainboard with a twin-tier of I/O ports. You can install
this mainboard in an ATX case. 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_PW1 connector on the mainboard.
If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the
cable from the cooling fan to the JP2 fan power connector on the
mainboard.
Connect the cable from the PC speaker to the SPK1 header on the
mainboard. Here is a list of SPK1 header’s pin assignments.
