Configuration & Installation
This chapter explains how to configure the mother-
board, install a CPU and system memory and has
basic information on installing the motherboard in a
system housing or “chassis”. We then explain how to
install the support software that comes on the Sup-
port Disk. If the board is already installed in a sys-
tem, you may want to review this chapter or you can
skip it and go to the next chapter which covers some
post-installation topics.
Hardware Configuration
There are three steps to configure the motherboard
hardware before installing it in a system housing:
configuring the jumper switches, installing a CPU
and installing system memory.
Configuring The Jumpers
This motherboard has three jumper switches. All the
jumpers come preset to the default settings. You may
not need to change any of the settings. Please note
that once the motherboard is installed, you should
always turn your computer off and disconnect the
power cord before changing any jumper settings. In
all cases, you should always take precautions against
static electric damage to sensitive components. The
default settings are listed in the following table.

Jumper Functions
This is sections explains the functions performed by
the jumper switches.
JP2: CPU /DIMM clock setting
This jumper setting the CPU/DIMM clock frequency.
Set it according to the speed of CPU FSB and
DIMM you will install.
JP9: Clear CMOS
This jumper is a trouble shooting jumper that allows
you to clear the system configuration record that is
created by the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility and
stored in CMOS memory. You only do this if the
system has become unbootable due to incorrect set-
tings or a corrupted configuration record and you
can’t access the CMOS Setup Utility.
Warning ! Please do not clear the CMOS after re-
freshing system BIOS, unless you have restard the
computer. Otherwise, the MAC address will be per-
manently lost and you need recover the MAC ad-
dress which is labeled on the motherboard.
Please refer to the section on Troubleshooting in
Chapter 5 for information on how to do this. The
default setting for this jumper is Normal.
JP35: Onboard Audio Selector
This jumper allow you to select onboard audio en-
able or disable, when your choice a PCI audio card,
you may disable the onboard audio by this jumper.

Installing A CPU
You can install an Intel PPGA or FC-PGA CPU in
the motherboard’s Socket 370. If you purchased a
CPU packaged by Intel, follow the installation in-
structions that come with it. In any case please re-
view the following generic instructions which are the
same for both CPU types. Make sure you take pre-
cautions against static electric damage to the CPU.
1. The CPU will only fit into the socket in one ori-
entation. Look at the top of the CPU with and
note the two angled corners where some pins are
missing. On the other two corners the pins form
a 90º angle.
2. Locate the PGA370 socket on the motherboard
and identify the socket’s Pin 1 position at the end
of the socket actuating lever (or “handle”). Note
the angled corners of the pin receptacles on that
side of the socket.

3. Raise the socket lever to a 90º angle.
4. Insert the CPU in the socket so that the angled
pin corners match the angled pin receptacle cor-
ners. The CPU will only insert in the correct ori-
entation. Don’t force it. If it doesn’t go in easily,
check and make sure you’ve got the CPU cor-
rectly oriented.

5. Lower the socket lever and press it back into
place to lock the CPU in the socket.
You will also need to install a heatsink/fan devices
on top of the CPU. If you purchased an Intel CPU in
retail packaging use the fan that comes in the pack-
age. If you a purchased a CPU that doesn’t come
with a fan, you will need to purchase one separately.
Follow the installation instructions and plug the fan
power connector onto the CPU FAN power connec-
tor near the PGA370 socket.
