ATTENTION !!!
1. P ease refer to your processor insta ation or other
documentation attached with your CPU for detai ed
insta ing instruction.
2. Insta ing a heat sink and coo ing fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Uncorrected
insta ation may resu t in overheating and damage of
your CPU.
3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from BIOS
program, user SHOULD make sure of correct specifi-
cation both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Uncorrected
setting may cause damage to your CPU.

CHAPTER 2
HARDWARE SETUP
2-1 CPU INSTALLATION
1. Pull the lever sidways away from the socket, and then raise the lever up
to a 90-degree angle.
. Take note of the red circle as below picture. When insert the CPU into
socket, you can find out there is a definite pin orientation for CPU and
socket.
SOCKET 370
SOCKET 370
WARNING !!!
Never run you processor without the heat sink properly and firmly attached.
PERMANET DAMAGE WILL RESULT!

16
65EP / 65EP+
SOCKET 370
2-2 CPU FREQUENCY
• The CPU’s “CPU CLOCK RATIO” and “CPU HOST/PCI CLOCK” set-
tings are automatica y detected to be defau t va ue by BIOS in the
“Frequency/Vo tage Contro ” section.
• We do not suggest and assume the responsibi ity for any action that
changes the CPU defau t setting such as overc ocking. Uncorrect
CLOCK RATIO and HOST/PCI CLOCK settings may cause damage
to your CPU.
3. Make sure that the CPU positions in the socket tightly, and then put the
lever down to complete the CPU installation.

NOTICE : When LED1 light is on ,
meaning that 3.3V is conducting DIMM
slots , please do not add or remove
memory modules .
Removing:
• Press the holding clips on both sides of socket out ward to release the
DIMM, Gintly pull the DIMM out of the socket.

WARING !!!
• Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing
memory modules or other system components, failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM, forcing a DIMM in or out of a
socket can be damaged the memory module or the socket. Some of DIMMs
contain EDO or FPM DRAM. These DIMM types are incompliant with the
motherboard, the M/B only supports 3.3V Non-ECC SDRAM DIMMs.
Insta ing DIMM:
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your motherboard
• Insert the mdule(s) as shown, DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that
will match with the onboard DIMM socket, memory modules are installed by
inserting them straight into the slot until they “click” into place. They only fit
in one direction so do not force them into place.

2-4 SUPPORTED SYSTEM BUS AND SYSTEM MEMORY
BUS FREQUENCIES TABLE
• The 8 815EP MCH has a new type of clocking architecture. It has inte-
grated SDRAM buffers that run at either 100 or 133 MHz, independent of
the system bus frequency. See table below for supported system bus and
system memory bus frequencies.

CAUTION!!
The AGP Pro s ot is shipped with a warning abe over the 20-pin bay.Do not remove
this ab e and the safety tab underneath it if you wi be using an AGP card without
a retention notch.Removing may cause the card to shift and may cause damage to
your card , s ot , and motherboard. Remove ONLY when you wi be using an AGP

2-6 HDD/FDD INSTALLATION
• To insta HDD (Hard Disk Drive), you may connect the cab e’s b ue
connector to the motherboard’s primary (IDE1) or secondary IDE
connector, and then connect the gray connector to your s ave de-
vice and the b ack connector to your master device.If you insta two
hard disks , you must configure the second drive to S ave mode by
setting its jumper according y.P ease refer to your hard disk docu-
mentation for the jumper settings.
• To insta FDD (F oppy Disk Drive), you may connect the sing e end
to the board , and connect two p ugs on the other end to the f oopy
drives.
F oppy Disk Drive Connector:
Orient the red markings on
the f oppy ribbon cab e to
Pin1.
Hard Disk Drive Connector:
