HARDWARE SETUP
ATTENTION !!!
1. Pl as r f r to your proc ssor installation or oth r
docum ntation attach d with your CPU for d tail d
installing instruction.
2. Installing a h at sink and cooling fan is n c ssary for
prop r h at dissipation from your CPU. Uncorr ct d
installation may r sult in ov rh ating and damag of
your CPU.
3. B for changing th s tting of CPU Vcor from BIOS
program, us r SHOULD mak sur of corr ct sp cifi-
cation both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Uncorr ct d
s tting may caus damag to your CPU.

WARNING !!!
• Make sure that +5V DCV and +3.3 DCV of your power supply are suitable
for the processor.
• Any attempt to operate the AMD Athlon or Duron processor without
a suitable coolin Fan will dama e processor and other component.
2-1 CPU INSTALLATION
Make sure that the CPU is
placed into the socket tightly.
Then lower down the lever to
complete the CPU installation.
3
SOCKET 370
Take notice of the red circles
as shown here. While inserting
the CPU into the socket, you
can find out there is a definite
pin orientation for CPU and
socket.
2
SOCKET 370
Pull out the lever from the socket,
and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.

R moving DIMM
• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a DIMM socket and the
module will be released from it.
Installing DIMM
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.
• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 1 8-pins and two
notches that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory
modules are installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they
“click” in the right place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force
them in by a wrong direction.
WARNING!!!
• Make sure to unplu your power supply before addin or removin memory
modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe
dama e to both your mainboard and expansion cards.
• Be careful when insertin or removin DIMM. Forcin a DIMM in or out
of a socket improperly may dama e the memory module or the socket.
Some DIMMs which contain EDO or FPM DRAM are incompliant with
the mainboard. The M/B supports 3.3V true SDRAM DIMMs only.

Hard Disk Drive Connector:
Orient the red markings on the
IDE ribbon cable to Pin1.
• To install HDD (Hard Disk Drive), you may connect the cable’s blue connector to
the mainboard’s primary (IDE1) or secondary (IDE2) connector, and then
connect the gray connector to your slave device and the black connector
to your master device. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the
second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please
refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.
