System Memory Configuration
This 82440ZX motherboard supports 168 pin DIMM of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB or 64MB to form a memory size between
8MB to 256MB(SDRAM). 82440ZX chipsets provide ÒTable-
FreeÓ function. It means that users can install DRAM with
any configuration and in any bank, and that is why the
DRAM table is not needed but do remember that the DRAM
must be 3.3V type. For 100MHz CPU environment, the
SDRAM specification must comply with PC-100 spec.
CPU Installation
Follow the following steps in order to install your Intel
Pentium II , Celeron, and Deschutes properly.
Step 1:
Be sure you are in contact with heat sink vendors for
attaching the heat sink on to the CPU.

Hardware Installation 7
Step 2:
Install the 2 pairs of screws, which are shown in the
following drawing, onto the mainboard under the SLOT1
Socket.
Two of the screws are right around the SLOT1 Socket and
the other pair of screws should be inserted opposite the first
pair. The screws should be inserted from the bottom of the
motherboard upward.
Step 3:
Retention clip is shown in the following figure:
Set the board according to the following diagram before
installing the retention clip.

8
The retention clip should be inserted so that the small
rectangle window is more toward to the right hand side of
the board.
If installed incorrectly, you will not be able to insert the CPU
into the retention clip and in this situation you might need
to rotate the retention clip by 180°
Tighten the 4 screws on the retention clip till the neck of the
screws can not be seen from the bottom of the board
Step 4:
Pull the latches up on the base of the CPU supporter and
insert it into the two holes directly to the left of the retention
clip so that the larger hole is on the bottom.
Press the base of the CPU supporter down in to the holes
and lock the latches.

Step 5:
Flatten the two latches on the side of CPU. Insert the CPU
into the retention clip and notice that the heat sink is on the
right hand side of the board. Lock the two latches to secure
the CPU.

10
Step 6:
Insert the clip portion of the CPU supporter so that the heat
sink can sit on the top of the whole CPU supporter.

Notice that the base and the clip of CPU Supporter may be
different from the figures shown here.

Note: 1. If the JP2 is fixed by jumperwire then the board
does not support keyboard power on function.
2. When the keyboard power on function shows
any compatible problem, choose Disabled and
report the keyboard model to the vendor/maker.
3. Keyboard power on function must be set from
the BIOS. Refer to the “Integrated Peripherals”
section in the Chapter 3.

Infrared Port Module Connector (J2 pin6–10)
The system board provides a 5-pin infrared connectorÑIR1
as an optional module for wireless transmitting and
receiving. Pin 6 through 10 are Transmit, GND, Receive
(low speed), Receive (high speed), and Vcc, respectively.
J2 pin12, 13: PWR Switch
Power Switch: Toggle this pin for turnning on/off of the
power supply (for ATX power only).
SLEEP Switch (J2 pin14, 15)
Toggle this jumper forces the system to sleep and the system
wonÕt wake up until the hardware event is coming. (The
BIOS Power Management setting muse be Enabled.)
Speaker Connector (J3 pin1–4)
The speaker connector is a 4-pin connector for connecting
the system and the speaker. (See the following drawing for
jumper position.)
Reset Switch (J3 pin5, 6)
The system board has a 2-pin connector for rebooting your
computer without having to turn off your power switch.
This prolongs the life of the systemÕs power supply.
J1: Audio Socket (SB Link)
This socket is designed for using SoundBlast PCI sound
card.
Power LED and Keylock Switch (J3 pin8–12)
The keylock switch is a 5-pin connector for locking the
keyboard for security purposes. (See the following drawing
for jumper position, and pin1~3 is connected to power LED
and pin 4~5 is connected to keylock switch.)
