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.
*For the mainboard that uses FW82810 plus FW82801AB chipsets, PCI Bus
Master IDE support up to UltraDMA/33 only.

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 370.
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. Align this corner towards the end of the
lever as shown in the figure at right. Insert the
CPU, press it down.
4. Close the lever until it locks into place.
The CPU speed will be automatically detected by the mainboard BIOS. Manual
setting is also possible. Refer to the BIOS, Driver & Utility Guide for details.

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.

Keyboard Power-on Jumper (JP1)
This mainboard features the Keyboard Power-on function. For example, you may
press any key on the keyboard to power on the system, or you may choose to type a
password to power on the system. These options are set in the Integrated
Peripherals of the BIOS. (Please refer to the BIOS, Driver & Utility Guide.)
Note: If you choose to use a password to power on the system, it is recommended
to keep a written record of your password. If you forget the password, you must
remove the battery AND disconnect the mainboard’s power supply for a couple of
seconds then re-install them back. This is the only way you can power on your
system again.

INSTALLATION
Installation Guide 13
Setting the Bus Clock Override Jumper (JP2)
Setting the Bus Clock Override Jumper to Enabled overrides the CPU’s default Bus
Clock and set it at 100 MHz.
•Over-clocking may cause serious system damage.
Locking/Unlocking the Flash BIOS (JP3)
To re-program the mainboard BIOS, short this jumper to unlock the flash BIOS.
Lock the BIOS to prevent writing to the flash BIOS.

INSTALLATION

Onboard AC97 Audio Selection Jumper (JP4)
Set this jumper to Enabled if you are using the onboard AC97 audio features. Also
make sure the “AC97 Audio” option is Enabled (default) in the Integrated
Peripherals of the BIOS. (Please refer to the BIOS, Driver & Utility Guide.)

INSTALLATION
Installation Guide 15
Clear CMOS (JP5)
If you have set the password, either to protect the BIOS configuration or to restrict
access to the computer, the password is stored in CMOS RAM. If you forget the
password, the CMOS can be cleared by setting this jumper to Clear CMOS.
In case there is a CMOS error or improper CPU setting through the mainboard’s
BIOS that causes boot failure, the CMOS must cleared by setting this jumper to
Clear CMOS to allow the system to boot.
* Clearing the CMOS will clear all user-defined BIOS setup options.

Connections
Cooling Fans
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 Guide 17
System Function Connector Block (CN4)
Pins [3 & 5] Power LED lead – Pins 3 and 5 connect to the power LED lead from
the system’s case. In case you case comes with a five-pin keylock & power LED
connector, use the connector block marked as Keylock.
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, 8 & 10] Keyboard lock switch lead – Pins 2 & 6 connect to the power
LED from the system’s case, Pins 8 and 10 connect to the case-mounted keylock
switch.
Pins [14 & 20] Speaker connector - Connects to the Speaker lead from the
system’s case.

Soft Power Switch (CN2)
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
PWR-BTTN” 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.
HDD Activity LED (CN3)
Hook the IDE LED lead to this connector, with the RED lead corresponding to
Pin-1.

IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector
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.

Wake-up On LAN Connector (CN10)
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 may also have to enable the related option in the mainboard
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 (CN11)
The Wake-on-Ring function allows the modem to remotely power on the system.
To use this function, you may also have to enable the related option in the
mainboard 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.
