Package Checklist
If you discover a nyite m below was da maged or lost, plea se conta ct your
vendor.
NOTE: The driver CD, which contains patch files, onboard video/
audio chip drivers, related online help and other useful information,
can be found in your mainboard package.
Please install it immediately after your Windows operating system
installation is complete. Place driver CD in the drive and an operat-
ing menu will appear on your monitor. Please select Auto Installation.
It will automatically detect which software tools (patch files, drivers)
the mainboard needs. Press OK to go through the whole installa-

Installation Procedures
This mainboard has several user-adjustable jumpers that allow you to configure the
system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information on the various
jumper settings on your mainboard.
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1 - Set system jumpers.
Step 2 - Install memory modules.
Step 3 - Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
Step 4 - Install expansion cards.
Step 5 - Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires and power supply.
Step 6 - Set up BIOS software.
Step 7 - Install supporting software tools.
WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the mainboard. When
using an electric screwdriver on the mainboard, make sure that
the torque is set to the allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.
Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit
(IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from harming any of the
sensitive components, you should follow the following precau-
tions whenever working on the computer:
1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.
2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC
||||chips, leads or circuitry.
3. Wear an anti-static wrist strap.
4. Place components on a grounded anti-static pad,or on the bag
that came with the component,whenever the components are
separated from the system.

Clear CMOS
The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery.
To clear the RTC data:
(1) Turn off your computer;
(2) Open the system case and disconnect the ATX power cable;
(3) Place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 2-3 for at least 6 seconds
to enable CMOS clearance;
(4) Place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 1-2 to disable the effect of
CMOS clearance;
(5) Connect the ATX power cable and close the system case;
(6) Turn on your computer until CMOS checksum error appears;
(7) Hold down the Delete key as it boots;
(8) Enter the BIOS Setup to re-enter user preferences.
NOTE: Users are not encouraged to change to jumper settings not
listed in this manual. Changing the jumper settings improperly may
adversely affect system performance.
1.) Set System Jumpers
Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jump-
ers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different
function. A 1is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. To set a
jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pin(s)
according to the required configuration. A jumper is said to be shorted when
the black cap has been placed on one or two of its pins.
