This section outlines how to install and configure your AE14 mainboard. Refer to the
following mainboard layout to help you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and
ports. Then follow these steps designed to guide you through a quick and correct instal-
lation of your system.

Step 1
Installthe 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 lever slightly sideways away from the socket to
unlock the lever, then bring it to an upward vertical position.
3. Place your PGA 370 Celeron processor in the ZIF socket. Note that the
CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrical to prevent
from inserting the processor in the wrong direction. The following dia
gram 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-lever.
4. Slightly push the CPU 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 horizontal position and
lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5.The PGA 370 CPU requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling
of the processor. If not already mounted on your CPU, you must pur -
chase the heatsink/fan separately and have it installed. Plug the cable
from the heatsink/fan to the CPU fan power connector located at the
immediate right of the ZIF socket. Note that there are several types of
CPU fan connectors. Normally, 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, however, 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. Please refer to the
followingdiagram.

Step 2.
SetJumpers
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
followingcases:
1. Over-clock your CPU
2. Disable the onboard audio before installing an add-on sound card
3. ClearCMOS
4. Clearsystempassword
5. Set the wake up function by keyboard/PS2 mouse
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
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for
optimum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to custom-
ize their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed informa-
tion on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
InstallSDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert SDRAM memory module(s) in any one or two
DIMM banks. Note that SDRAM modules are directional and will not go in
the DIMM slots unless 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.

- 15 -
Step 4
InstallInternal Peripheralsin 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
describedbelow.
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. 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.

- 16 -
Step 5
Mountthe Mainboard onthe 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 avoid any electrical shorts be tween 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
attachthemainboard.)
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 3 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of the
mainboard.

- 17 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker
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, etc.) These cables serve to connect
the front-panel switches and LEDs to the mainboard’s front-panel connectors
group (J20), as shown below.
1. ATX Soft Power On/Off
2. Power-LED
3. HDD-LED

6. PC Speaker
