Chapter 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install your system and
set jumper. The motherboard has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that
allow you to configure your system to suit your requirements.
Cautions!! Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent
static electricity damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any ofyour motherboard electronic components, such as the microproces-
sor. Observe the following precautions:
- Do not removes the motherboard from its anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install it into a computer case.
- Before you handle the motherboard in any way, touch a grounded, antistatic
surface, such as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds
to discharge any built-up static electricity.
- Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting bracket.

Set Jumpers:
Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Each jumper on the
board has several metal pins with each pin representing a different function. A “1”
is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with several pins. To set a jumper, a plastic cap
containing metal contactor is placed over the jumper pins according to the required
configuration. A jumper is said to be shorted when the plastic cap has been placed
on two pins of it.The types of jumpers used in this manual are shown below:

Note:
Users are not encouraged to change the jumper settings not listed in this manual.
Changing the jumper settings improperly may adversely affect system performance.

Install CPU
The CPU module resides in the socket 370 on the motherboard.Please following the
steps introduced below to complete the CPU installation.
1) Locate the new processor you are installing over the socket so that the notched
corner on the processor (pin 1) can be aligned with the blank corner on the
socket. Then gently push the processor straight into the socket until its pins
are completely inserted into the holes of the socket.
Caution:
If you install the processor chip in the wrong orientation, you may burn the
chip and void your warranty. So you should install it careful deeply.
2) Press the ZIF handle back to close it.
3) Attach the heat sink to the processor socket and then connect a fan connector
cable from the CPU fan to the CPU fan connector.

Caution !!
We don’t recommend user to try overclock, it may damage your CPU and
result in a slower speed. Please think carefully before you use overclock
function.
We introduce you how to clear CMOS, and enter into system BIOS, it could help
you accomplish CPU setting in BIOS easyly.

To Clear CMOS, please follow the steps below:
1. Power off the system and unplug the chassis AC power cord.
2. Short JP1 at pin 2-3 for few seconds.
3. Set JP1 back to its Normal position at pin1-2
4. Plug the AC power cord to the chassis.
5. Power on the system and load the BIOS set up default.

System Memory Installation
♦To ensure reliability, it is recommended to use PC 100 SDRAM or PC 133
SDRAM for your high clock SDRAM performance requirement.
♦If you are using low clock SDRAMs, you should set the SDRAM clock
option of the BIOS’s Chipset Feature Setup to HCLK-33 to ensure stability.
♦DIMM Sizes support: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB.
There is 1x168-pin DIMM slots
(DIMM1) that allow you to install
the system memory max up to 256 MB
SDRAM.
There are 1 piece 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) sockets on the
motherboard which support SDRAM and EDO DRAM memory.

2 Removing a Memory Module
To remove memory modules, press the retaining clips outward simultaneously
until the DIMM disengages from the socket and then carefully remove the
DIMM from the socket.
1. Install DIMM
1) After remove the cover, install the DIMM in the sockets marked with
DIMM2, if the DIMM has been installed in the DIMM1 socket. Release the
plastic retaining clips at each end of the socket by pressing the clips outward
until they snap open.
2) Orient a DIMM to the socket so the two notches in the DIMM connector are
aligned with the crossbars in the socket.
3) Press the DIMM straight into the socket until the retaining clips snap into place
around the ends of the DIMM.

Caution:
Adjust any switches or jumpers on the expansion card, if necessary. When you
handle the card, be careful not to touch any components on the circuit board or the
gold-edged connector.
This section describes how to connect an expansion card to one of your system’s
expansion slots. Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that, when connected to
the mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system.VMZV7 only include
two PCI slots.
