Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

2.1 Installation Procedure
1. Jumper settings (BIOS and CPU)
2. Installation of CPU
3. Installation of Memory
4. I/O Connections & Panel Connections
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
Red Jumper Caps : Sets the FSB frequency of CPU JFSB1, JFSB2
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 3.6.11 PS2KB
Wakeup for more information. 1-2 : 5V (Default Setting)
2-3 : 5V Stand By

2.1.3 Clearing the CMOS (Yellow Jumper Caps)
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 ATXPWR.
(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 ATXPWR.
(6) Turn on the power.
(7) While the system reboots, press <DEL> key to set the BIOS
setup.
2.1.4 CPU Voltage Setting
The motherboard supports CPU VID function. It can automatically detect CPU
VID signal and generates proper CPU core voltage.
2.1.5 CPU FSB Frequency Setting (Red Jumper Caps)
The JFSB jumper provides some FSB frequency settings for the CPU. Auto
Detect, 66MHz, 100MHz or 133MHz FSB frequency can be selected with this
jumper. The over specification operation is not recommended.

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. Be careful of CPU orientation. 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
The motherboard has four 184-pin 64-bit DDR (Double Data Rate) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. You can install 2.5V Unbuffered
PC1600/2100 (DDR200/266)-compliant DDR Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
memory.
2.3.1 Installation of 184-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 184-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.
