2.1.1 Jumper Settings
In this manual, (1-2) represents the first and second pins of the jumper. (2-3) represents the
second and third pins of the jumper. On the motherboard, you will see two sets of jumpers with
different color jumper caps:
Yellow Jumper Caps: Sets the Function of Flash CMOS JRTC
Green Jumper Caps: Sets the type and speed of CPU JF0, JF1, JF2, JF3
Red Jumper Caps: Sets the FSB frequency of CPU JFSB Sets the Keyboard Voltage JKBV

WARNING: Electronic parts are Static sensitive. To prevent damage to the computer and its parts
please take the following measures.
Work on a surface such as concrete, linoleum or hard wood floor.
Ground your self with either a properly installed grounding strap or by touching a major electrical
appliance long enough to discharge the static.
2.1.2 Keyboard Voltage Setting (Red Jumper Cap)
This motherboard supports wake on keyboard function. This feature requires that your system has an
ATX power supply with at least 300mA +5V standby power and set this jumper to 2 & 3 pin short. Refer
to session 3.5.9 for more information.
1-2 : 5V (Default Setting)
2-3 : 5V Stand By
2.1.3 Clearing the CMOS (Yellow Jumper Cap)
JRTC: CMOS Function Selection
1-2: Clear data
2-3: Normal Operation (Default Setting)
How to Clear the CMOS Setting
1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector J1.
3. Remove Yellow Jumper Cap from JRTC (2-3) and put on JRTC (1-2) to remove the CMOS
setting.
4. Remove Yellow Jumper Cap from JRTC (1-2) and put on JRTC (2-3).
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector J1.
6. Turn on the power.
7. While the system reboots, press <DEL> key to set the BIOS setup.
2.1.4 CPU FSB Frequency Setting (Red Jumper Caps)

Pentium III 366, 400, 566… etc and VIA Cyrix III CPU. You can ignore the four jumpers if you have
this CPU on board and it will be auto detected by system. Please check with the CPU
manufacturer or vendor for the CPU Ratio information.
2.1.6 CPU Voltage Setting
The motherboard supports CPU VID function. It can automatically detect CPU VID signal and
generates proper CPU core voltage.
2.2 Installation of CPU
Before installing CPU, make sure the power is off. Locate the level bar on the PGA370 ZIF
socket. Push level bar away from the socket and pull upward 90 degrees. Insert the CPU into the
socket. Make sure the notch of the CPU corresponds with the white dot on the ZIF socket (the
corner without pin socket). Do not push in the CPU. Make sure all pins are aligned with the CPU
socket. ON the level bar.
2.3 Installation of Memory
This motherboard has 3x168-pin 64-bit Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets divided into 3
banks. You can install 3.3V Unbuffered PC100/133-compliant Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
memory.

Some DIMM memory have SPD ( Serial Presence Detect ) 8-pin IC on module. It is not
recommended the SPD ( Serial Presence Detect ) DIMM blends and non-SPD DIMM.
2.3.1 Installation of 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module)
1. Before inserting the DIMM, make sure the pin1 of the DIMM matches with the pin1 on the DIMM socket.
2. Insert DIMM into the DIMM sockets at a 90-degree angle and press down.
2.3.2 Removal of 168-pin DIMM
1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the socket outward to release the DIMM.
2. Gently pull the DIMM out of the socket.
2.3.3 Memory Configuration
There is no jumper setting required for the memory size or type. It is automatically detected by
the system BIOS, and the total memory size is to add them together.
DIMM Socket DIMM Modules
DIMM1 PC100/133 SDRAM 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB
DIMM2 PC100/133 SDRAM 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB

2.4.2 CPU, Chassis Fan Connector (3-pin CPUFAN,CHASFAN)
Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of the connector.
2.4.3 Wake-up on LAN Connector (3-pin JWOL)
The JWOL connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received from
the network. This feature requires the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS is set to Enabled and
that your system has an ATX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.
2.4.4 Creative’s SB_LINK Sound Connector (6-pin SB_LINK)
The SB_LINK serves as a bridge between the mainboard and Creative’s PCI sound card. This
connector delivers Sound Blaster 16 compatibility for real-mode DOS games.
2.4.5 Floppy Disk Drive Connector (34-pin FLOPPY)
This connector supports the provided floppy disk drive ribbon cable. Orient the red stripe to pin
1

2.4.6 Primary/Secondary IDE Connector (Two 40-pin IDE)
These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect your first IDE hard
disk to master mode of the primary channel. If you have second IDE device to install in your
system, connect it as slave mode on the same channel, and the third and fourth device can be
connected on secondary channel as master and slave mode respectively.
There are three connectors on the 80-pin IDE ribbon cable. The blue connector must connect
with motherboard's IDE connector and the other connectors must connect with HDD. In order to
get the better performance the Ultra DMA 66 HDD must connect with 80-pin IDE ribbon cable.
2.4.7 Infrared Connector (10-pin JIR)
This connector supports the optional wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module, with
this module and application software such as Laplink or Win95 Direct Cable Connection, user
can transfer files to or from their laptops, notebooks, PDA, PCs and printers. The connector
supports IrDA (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps). An optional consumer infrared (CIR)
set connects to the CIR and SIR connectors simultaneously for both wireless transmitting and
remote control functions through one external infrared module. Install infrared module onto
Infrared connector and configure the setting through “UART Mode Select” in Integrated
Peripherals to select whether UART is directed for use with COM2 or Infrared.
