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 Athlon/ Duron processor in the socket A. Note that
the CPU 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 462 Athlon/ Duron processor into the socket with
out 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 Athlon/ Duron processor requires a set of cooler to
ensure proper cooling of the processor. If cooler have not been
already mounted on your CPU, you must purchase a cooler sepa-
rately and have it installed. Plug the cable throught the cooler 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.

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 in any of the
following cases:
1. Clear CMOS
2. BIOS Protection
3. CPU Frequency
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 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 SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two or
two DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go
in the DIMM banks if they are not properly oriented. After the module is fully
inserted into the DIMM bank, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM bank to
lock the module in place.

- 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 described below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on board each device according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and
CD-ROM have to set jumpers on Master or Slave mode depending
on your willing to install more than one device for 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 in 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 through 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 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 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 short between the
board and the metal frame of 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.

- 16 -
Step 6
Connect Front-Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors
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, PC Speaker, 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 (PANEL1,SJ1,J1), as shown below.
