Remark:
The XStore Pro IDE Driver enhances memory management by working with the
Windows 95/98 operating system, resulting in higher system performance by
implementing "read-ahead caching after seeking". This is especially effective with
the large block sizes of modern hard disks.
PC-cillin anti-virus software provides a powerful defense against viruses to
protect data integration.

INSTALLATION
Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To
avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
üDon’t remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it into a computer case. Also, handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting
bracket.
üBefore you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-
up static electricity.
Installing the CPU
üWARNING: Use of a CPU Cooling Fan is required to prevent CPU from
overheating. The Fan should be installed first before inserting the CPU into its
socket.
1. Locate the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 7.
2. First open the socket by pulling the lever sideways, then upwards. Notice how
the lever locks in place when pressed all the way down.
3. The CPU must be inserted with the correct
orientation. One corner of the CPU has a
“Notch” and looks different that the other
three. This corner is also missing a pin unlike the
other three and is marked with a white dot on
top of the CPU. Align this corner towards the
end of the lever as shown in the figure here.
Insert the CPU, press it down, and close the
lever until it locks into place.

Setting the Jumpers
Jumpers are used on this mainboard to select various settings and features. A 2-pin
jumper has two settings: Open and Short (or Closed). The jumper is closed by
placing the Jumper Cap across the two pins, thereby connecting them. 3-pin
jumpers can be set to pins 1-2 or 2-3 connected. Pin-1 is labeled on the circuit
board.

CPU Clock Selection Jumper (JBF0-2 and JFS0-3)
After installing the CPU, you must set the clock selection jumpers to match the
frequency of the CPU. Find the Jumper Blocks labeled JBF0-2 and JFS0-3. Set the
jumpers according to your particular CPU type (a list of current available CPU
settings is provided on the following page).

•The Internal (Core) frequency corresponds to the number marked on the CPU. The
External Frequency when multiplied with the Ratio gives the CPU's internal frequency.
•This table lists the current CPU available. New settings may be available for new CPU
products. Refer to your CPU specifications for more information.
Setting the CPU Voltage Selection Jumper (JP3)
Locate Jumper JP3 on the mainboard. Set this jumper in accordance with your
specific CPU type.
*The Intel MMX CPU is an example of a dual supply chip (2.8V & 3.3V). When single
supply CPUs are used, this setting is not relevant and should be left on the default
(Refer to the CPU documentation).

Connections
Cooling Fan (JP4 and JP5)
These connectors are small 3-pin
Header Connectors that provide
12-Volt power for CPU and
chassis cooling fans. Plug in the
fan cable to the connector. Pin-2
corresponds to the RED power
lead as shown:
Power Supply Connector
This mainboard features an ATX-style Power Supply Connector. This connector is
keyed to prevent connection in the wrong direction. Line up the locking
mechanism on the connector from the Power Supply with the tab on the mainboard
connector. Press down until the two connectors are locked.

INSTALLATION
Installation Guide 15
System Function Connector Block (J7)
Pins [7 & 9] SMI suspend switch lead - If your system’s case has a suspend
switch, hook the lead from the switch to pins 7 & 9. A suspend switch is used to
save electricity by putting the system into a suspend mode when the computer is
not being used. For this switch to be functional, “Suspend Mode” must first be
enabled in the Power Management Setup in the BIOS Setup utility.
Pins [17 & 19] Reset switch lead - Connects to the Reset Switch lead from the
system’s case. The reset switch is used to “cold-boot” the system without actually
turning off the power, reducing wear and tear on the power supply.
Pins [2 & 6] Suspend LED lead – Pins 2 & 6 connect to the case-mounted
Suspend LED switch.
Pins [14 & 20] Speaker connector - Connects to the Speaker lead from the
system’s case.

IDE Activity LED (JP1)
Hook the IDE LED lead to this connector, with the RED lead corresponding to
Pin-1.
Soft Power Switch (JP2)
Connects to the Power Switch featured on ATX case designs. This switch must be
hooked up before the system can be powered on, unlike traditional “Baby-AT”
designs where the power switch is located on the Power Supply itself.
Note: Under the following two conditions, you have to press and hold the switch
for more than 4 seconds to power off your system, regardless of the “Soft-Off by
PWRBTN” setting in the Power Management Setup of the BIOS.
•Shortly after the system is powered on, when the BIOS message is not yet
appear.
•When CPU hangs.

IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (JIR1)
The IrDA connector bracket hooks directly to this connector on the mainboard.
This connector provides support for the optional wireless transmitting and
receiving infrared module. You must first configure through the BIOS setup where
UART2 is directed, COM2 or IrDA.

INSTALLATION

Wake-up On LAN Connector (JP10)
The Wake-up On LAN function will allow the network to wake up a Soft Power
Down (Soft-Off) PC. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can
wake-up the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. To use the Wake-up
On LAN function, you must enable the “Power On By Ring/LAN” field in the
Power Management Setup of the Award BIOS. Connect the cable that comes with
your LAN card to this connector on the system board. Refer to the add-in card’s
manual for details.
Note: Your LAN card must support Magic Packet in order to use the Wake-up On
LAN function.
Wake-on-Ring Function (JP11)
The Wake-on-Ring function allows the modem to remotely power on the system.
Install an external modem (normally to COM2) and enable “Power On by
Ring/LAN” function in the Power Management Setup from the BIOS.
For the function to work for an internal modem card, you must also connect the
Wake-on-Ring cable on the modem card to the Wake-on-Ring function connector
on the mainboard.

Serial and Parallel Ports
A 25-pin D-Sub header is provided on the back panel for a multi-mode bi-
directional parallel port.
One 9-pin D-Sub headers are also provided on the back panel for Serial ports.
For the second serial port, plug the 10-pin cable of the serial port bracket to the
COM2 connector on the mainboard.
