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
DIMMmemoryslots).
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. PlaceyourAMD462Athlon/Duronprocessor in thesocketA. Notethatthe
CPU’s edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to prevent
from insertingtheprocessorinthewrongdirection. Thefollowing diagram
demonstrates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket. You can
seethat the two blunt-edged corners should face towards the socket-lever.
4. SlightlypushtheAMD462Athlon/Duronprocessorinto 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 AMD 462 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 through the heatsink/fan in the
CPUfanpowerconnectorlocatednearby. Notethat there areseveraltypes
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 in any of the
followingcases:
1. Over-clock your CPU
2. Clear CMOS
Forfirst-time DIY system builders, we recommend thatyou do not change the
defaultjumpersettingsifyouarenottotallyfamiliarwithmainboardconfigu-
rationprocedures. Thefactory-setdefaultsettingsaretunedforoptimum
system performance. For the advanced users who wish to customize their
system,section3.2 Jumper Settings willprovidedetailedinformationonhow
to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3.
Install DDR or SDR SDRAM System Memory
To insert memory module(s) in any one or two DIMM slot(s). Please note
thatmodules are directional and will not go in the DIMM slots unless prop-
erlyoriented. AfterthemoduleisfullyinsertedintotheDIMMslots, lift the
clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the module in place.
SDR SDRAM DDR SDRAM

Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommendthatyoufirstassemblealltheinternal peripheral devices into the
computerhousing, including but not limited to thehard disk drive (IDE
/HDD),floppydiskdrive(FDD),CD-ROMdrive,andATXpowersupplyunit.
Thiswill greatly facilitate in making the connections tothe mainboard de-
scribedbelow.
ToinstallIDE&FDDdrives,followthisprocedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on board each device according to the
instructionsprovidedbythemanufacturer.(IDEdevices,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
thedeviceaswell.
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
isdirectionalandcannotfit in if it is not properly positioned.

- 16 -
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 shortage between the
board and the metal frame of chassis. (If your computer case is already
equippedwith mounting studs, you will need to tighten screws to attach
themainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachmentpointsto 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.

- 17 -
Step 6
Connect Front-Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
caseandoriginatingfromthecomputer’sfront-paneldevices(HDDLED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, or USB devices etc.) These cables
serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, USB connectors to the
mainboard’s front-panel connectors group (JP7, JP4 and JP5), as shown
below.
