Introduction
This chapter is a step-by-step guide that explains how to use your
CPV4-M/CPV4-MA motherboard to build a powerful computer system.
At a minimum, you will need the following components in order to build
a fully functioning system.
!"Computer case with ATX power supply
!"Intel Socket 370 PPGA/ FC-PGA Celeron or FC-PGA Pentium
III or VIA Cyrix III Processor
!"One SDRAM memory module
!"One graphics adapter
!"One floppy disk drive
!"One UDMA 33/66 IDE hard disk drive
!"One CD-ROM drive
!"One display monitor
!"One PS/2 mouse
!"One PS/2 keyboard
!"One set of loudspeakers
Of course, you can use the system I/O ports and expansion slots to add
many more features and components to your system than the essential
items listed above.

Safety Measures
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still con-
nected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the
simple guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself.
!"Always disconnect the motherboard from the ATX power sup-
ply, and disconnect the computer from the power outlet
whenever you are working inside the computer case.
!"If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are installing
the motherboard or working inside the computer case. Alterna-
tively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare
metal chassis of the computer case, or the bare metal body of
any other grounded appliance.
!"Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch
the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.
!"Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that it
ships with until you are ready to use the component for the in-
stallation.

Pre-Installation Procedure
Before you install your motherboard into a computer case, it’s conven-
ient to install the processor, install the memory modules, and set all the
jumpers to the correct settings.
Install the Processor
Choosing a Processor
This motherboard has a Socket-370 that can only be installed with an
Intel INTEL PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) /FC-PGA Celeron or an FC-
PGA Pentium III or VIA Cyrix III processor. Take care that you don’t
purchase a SEPP (Single Edge Processor Package) Celeron or a Slot 1
Pentium III. Also, don’t try to install a Socket 7 processor that is similar
in design and appearance to the INTEL PPGA/ FC-PGACeleron/FC-
PGA Pentium III.
PPGA/ FC-PGA Celeron, FC-PGA Pentium III and Cyrix III processors
have shipped with clock speeds operating over a 66/100/133 MHz front-
side bus. All current INTEL PPGA/ FC-PGA Celeron, FC-PGA Pentium
III and VIA Cyrix III processors are supported by this motherboard. Use
the fastest processor you can afford—the faster the clock speed of the
processor, the better the performance of your system.
Make sure that your processor includes a heat sink/cooling fan assem-
bly. Today’s high-speed processors must be cooled in order to ensure
reliable operation.
We strongly recommend that you don’t try to run your processor faster
than its rated speed. Overclocking can introduce reliability errors and
the excess heat generated can damage components.

Installation Procedure
1. On the motherboard, identify the CPU Socket-370 and the
cooling fan power-supply connector FAN1.
Fan1
Socket 370
Pin 1 corner
2. Identify the pin-1 corner of the Socket-370. The pin-1 corner is
on the same side as the locking lever, as shown in the illustra-
tion below.
3. Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor (the pin-1 corner on
the processor has a beveled edge).

4. Pull the locking lever of the Socket-370 away from the socket
to unlatch it, and then swing the lever into the upright position.

13
5. Align the pin-1 corners and drop the processor into the Socket-
370. The processor should drop into place without any force.
If it doesn’t seat properly, check that you have the pin-1 cor-
ners in the correct position.
6. Swing the locking lever down to lock the processor in place
and latch the lever under the catch on the side of the socket.
7. Plug the cable from the heat sink/cooling fan assembly into the
processor cooling fan power supply FAN1.
8. Configuration of the processor is carried out using the system
setup utility as described in chapter three. Configure the proc-
essor the first time you turn on the assembled computer.
Install Memory Modules
This motherboard has three DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Modules) or
VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) slots for the installation of memory
modules. The memory modules require 3.3V SDRAM memory chips.
DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3
We recommend that you install PC 100/133 modules or faster for opti-
mum performance.
You can install one to three modules. If you install just one module, it
makes no difference if you install it in DIMM1, DIMM2, or DIMM3. Each

14
memory module accommodates a maximum of 512 MB; maximum
memory is 1.5 GB.
Follow these instructions to install memory modules:
1. On the motherboard, locate the two DIMM/VCM slots.
2. Pull the locking latches of the slot outwards.
3. Align the memory module correctly. The edge connector of the
memory module has notches that match obstructions in the slot.
You must match the notches with the obstructions in order to
install the module.

4. Press the edge connector of the memory module into the slot.
Press down quite firmly so that the locking latches of the
DIMM/VCM slot are levered upwards to secure the memory
module in place.
5. Repeat the process with any other memory modules that you
want to install.

15
Set the Jumpers
This motherboard has jumpers that need to be set correctly. Jumpers are
sets of two, three, or more pins. You can use a jumper cap to connect two
adjacent pins. When a jumper cap connects two pins, we say that the pins
are SHORT. If you remove a jumper cap from two pins, we say that the pins
are OPEN. The illustrations below show the different positions of a jumper
cap on a typical 3-pin jumper. By changing the jumper cap, you change the
circuits of the motherboard and enable or disable certain features or proper-
ties of the board.

JP1: Select AMR Card As Master/Slave Device
Use these 3-pin jumpers to select AMR card as master/slave device.
When Creative PCI Audio Chip is on board, you don’t put the mini-
jumper on JP1. That means set “ Off “ for selecting AMR card as mas-
ter device. When the motherboard is not mounted Creative PCI Audio
Chip, set “ On “ for selecting AC’97 Codec as master device and AMR
card as slave device.
