Step 1
Install the CPU:
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right
sector of your mainboard (between the back panel connectors and the
DIMM memory banks).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket le er slightly sideways away from the socket
to unlock the le er, then bring it to an upward ertical position.
3. Place your PPGA/FC-PGA 370 processor in the ZIF socket. Note that
the CPUs edges ha e been purposely designed non-symmetrical to
pre ent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The follow
ing diagram demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF
socket. You can see that the two blunt-edged corners should face to
wards the socket-le er.
4. Slightly push the PPGA/FC-PGA 370 processor into the socket without
applying excessi e force while making sure there is no gap between CPU
and socket. Then lower the socket-le er all the way down to its horizontal
position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The FC-PGA/PPGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure
proper cooling of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU,
you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and ha e it installed. Plug
the cable from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located
nearby. Note that there are se eral types of CPU fan connectors. Nor-
mally, if your mainboard supports the hardware monitoring function, a 3-
pin fan power connector should allow your system to detect the CPU fans
speed . The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power connector,
howe er, detection of CPU fans speed is not supported. Another type of
CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which does not
support CPU fan's speed detection and must connect directly to the
systems power supply unit.

Step 2.
Set Jumpers
The default jumper settings ha e been set for the common usage standard of
this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you
require special adjustments as in any of the following cases:
1. O er-clock CPU
2. Clear CMOS
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the
default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with mainboard configu-
ration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for optimum
system performance. For the ad anced users who wish to customize their
system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will pro ide detailed information on how
to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert SDRAM memory module(s) in any one, two or three
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in
the DIMM slots unless they are properly oriented. After the module is fully
inserted into the DIMM socket, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to
lock the module in place.

- 13 -
Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Chassis
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system chassis, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral de ices into the
computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk dri e (IDE/
HDD), floppy disk dri e (FDD), CD-ROM dri e, and ATX power supply unit.
This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard de-
scribed below.
To install IDE & FDD dri es, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each de ice according to the instructions
pro ided by the manufacturer. (IDE de ices, HDD and CD-ROM, ha e to
set jumpers to Master or Sla e mode depending on whether you install
more than one de ice of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back panel of the internal
peripheral de ices. Note that the cable should be oriented with its
colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on the
mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the de ice as well.
3. Connect an a ailable power cable from your system power supply unit
to the back panel of each peripheral de ice. Note that the power cable is
directional and cannot fit in if it is not properly positioned.

- 14 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions
both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose a
correct mounting hole, the key point is to keep the back panel of the
mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between
the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the
mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system chassis
and the mainboard, in order to a oid any electrical shorts between the
board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer case is
already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to
attach the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and fix the mainboard.
If there arent enough matching holes, then make sure to install at
least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.

- 15 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker
You can find there are se eral different cables already existing in the system
case and originating from the computers front panel de ices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, etc.) These cables ser e to connect the
front panel switches and LEDs to the mainboards front panel connectors
