CPU Fan Installation
Your Socket 478 processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on the processor according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. The fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. The
fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
Note: Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power source.
Step 2. Install Memory Module
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, Directly supports one DDR SDRAM channel, 64b wide,
providing support max of 3 Double-Sided DIMMs with unbuffered (non-registered) and Non-ECC DDR
266.
The largest memory capacity possible is 3GB. On this motherboard, DRAM speed can be set
independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Depending on the DRAM clock speed setting in the
BIOS setup.

B. ATX Power Supply
This M/B can support ATX Power supply version 2.03 (with 12V power connector) and olderATX power
supply.
The ATX12V power supply includes a 20-pin ATX connector that complies with the ATX specification,
Version 2.03 for M/B specification, a new 4-pin receptacle/header combination--the +12V power
connector--has been defined. The presence of the +12V power connector indicates that a power supply is
ATX12V; the absence of the +12V power connector indicates that a supply is ATX. To allow for greater than
+3.3V current, the Aux power connector is recommended for ATX and ATX12V power supplies with
+3.3V current >18A.
If the user uses an old ATX power supply, please connect the main power connector and the peripherals
connector to the M/B.
If the user uses an ATX power supply version 2.03, please connect the main power connector and
12Vconnector to the M/B.
Warning: Follow these precautions to preserve your Motherboard from any remnant currents
when connecting toATX power supply:
Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord of the ATX power supply before
connecting to ATX PW connector.
The Motherboard requires a power supply with at least 250 Watts and a "power good" signal. Make sure the
ATX power supply can take at 1.5Amax current * load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the
standardATX specification.
Note:
 ATX 12V power supply is different from the normal ATX power supply.
 If you use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function, make sure theATX power supply can support at
least 720 mAon the 5V Standby lead (5VSB).

Quick Trouble shoot tips
Boot-up Issues
The system do not power-up, no beeping sound heard and the CPU fan does not turn
on.
1. Check if the power cord is plug to the power source.
2. Check if the power is connected to the M/B.
3. Check if the cable of the case power button is connected to the M/B power button
connector (see connectors and plug-ins in the manual for more info).
4. Make sure the power supply is not defective. Change the power supply. The minimum
should be 250 watts.
5. Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might be shorted to the
case.
The system power-up, no video, no beeping sound heard, but the CPU fan is turning.
1. Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for more info on how to
clear the CMOS).
2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any).
3. Check if the CPU is ok by using another CPU (check the Quick start guide for CPU
supported on this M/B).
4. Check if the power supply is ok. The minimum should be 250 watts.
5. Make sure the CPU fan is connected to CPUFAN1 connector.
6. Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might be shorted to the
case.
The system power-up, no video, beeping heard.
1. Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for more info on how to
clear the CMOS).
2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any).
3. Check the memory module and the VGA card if inserted properly on the M/B.
4. If yes, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure the memory
specification is supported by the M/B. (for more info on this, check our FAQ website).
