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 slots).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to
unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
3. Place your AMD 462 AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor in the socket A.
Note that theCPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically
to prevent 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 towards the socket-
lever.
4. Slightly push the AMD 462 AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor into the socket
without applying excessive force while making sure there is no gap between
CPU and socket. Then lower the socket-lever all the way down to its hori
zontal position and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The AMD 462 AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor requires a set of heatsink/
fan to ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been
already mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan sepa-
rately and have it installed. Plug the cable throught the heatsink/fan in the
CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types
of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hard
ware 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, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not sup-
ported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power con-
nector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be di-
rectly connected to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to the fol-
lowing diagram.

Step 2.
Set Jumpers
This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have 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 any of the
following cases:
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 the mainboard
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for opti-
mum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize
their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information
on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).
Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in the DIMM
slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted into the
DIMM slots, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the module in
place.
DDR SDRAM

- 14 -
Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the
computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/
HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
This will greatly facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard de-
scribed below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and CD-ROM, have to
set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install
more than one device of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal
peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. 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 device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit
to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is
directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.

- 15 -
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
correct mounting holes, 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 avoid 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 then fix the
mainboard. If there aren enough matching holes, then make sure to
install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.

- 16 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originating from the computer's Front-panel devices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect
the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the mainboard's front-
panel connectors group (JP3,JP11, and JP8), as shown below.
1. ATX Soft Power On/Off (POWER ON)
2. HDD-LED (HDD LED)
3. Green-LED and Power-LED (GREEN LED/POWER LED)
4. Hardware Reset Switch Button (RESET)
