WARNING

Ifyou’ve changed your CPUor overclocked yoursystem, the system mayfail to bootup,
even with a Clear CMOS jumper physically resetted. The reason is that NVIDIA’s new
nForce2 chipset introduces a way to reset a Clear CMOS jumper without removing a
chassis.Pleasefollow the steps listedbelow:
1. Turnoffyourcomputerandunplugthepowercable.Reconnectitafter30seconds;
2. Press<Insert >andthenpressyour computer’sstartbutton.Continueholding<Insert>
untilthesystembeginsthePOST(Power-OnSelfTest);
3. Immediatelypress<Del>toentertheBIOS;
4. Select‘LoadOptimizedDefaults’ to return your systemtoabootable condition; then
select ‘SAVE to CMOS and EXIT’;
5. Rebootyoursystem.
Moreover, if your system fails to boot up after you reset the CPU FSB, select “SAVE to
CMOS and EXIT” in the BIOS.After the system restarts, there is on screen a message
warningyounot to reset or turnoffyourcomputer:
Warning! New setting is updating now
Do not Reset or Shutdown the system

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 AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor in the socket A. Note
that the CPU's edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to
prevent from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following
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 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 AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan
to ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been al-
ready mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately
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 hardware moni-
toring 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 supported. An-
other type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which
does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly connected
to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to the following 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:
1. 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 con-
figuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for optimum
system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize their sys-
tem, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed information on how to
configure your mainboard manually.
Caution: If you did not place the battery apropriately, which may cause
risk of explosion. please pefer to the related rule for the dis-
pose of used batteries.
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.

Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you place the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that
you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer hous-
ing, including, but not limited to, the hard disk drive (IDE/HDD), floppy disk
drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow these procedures:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer. (IDE, 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 the 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 of the IDE or FDD connector on the mainboard 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 di-
rectional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.

- 14 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis
and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to
make the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case,
as shown below.
2. Position the studs between the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are
used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between them,
for avoiding any electrical shorts in-between.
(If your computer case is already equipped with mounting studs, you need
to tighten the screws to attach the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you can find 4 or more holes to place
studs for fixing the mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes,
screw at least 4 studs to ensure the proper attachment of the main-
board.
