2.3 CPU Installation
•UNIVERSAL RETENTION MODULE (URM) INSTALLION
1. Before installing the UNIVERASAL RETENTION
MODULE, pull the supporting EARs 90ooutward
until you hear a Click and both EARs sit upright
in the notches of the main body.
2. Insert the BOARDLOCK BODY into the MAIN
BODY. Then turn the BOARDLOCK BODY clock-
wise until it can be turned no more (there is a stop-
per device on the MAIN BODY). Then the
BOARDLOCK BODR is secured on the MAIN
BODY.
3. Push the BOARDLOCK PINs all the way down.
The PINs automatically turn to an angle and lock
inside the BOARDLOCK BODYs. Then pull the PIN
back up to the stopper in order for the
BOARDLOCK BODY to be easily inserted into the
PC BOARD. For the ease in installation,
BOARDLOCK BODYs should be inserted into the
UNIVERSAL RETENTION MODULE before it is
installed onto the PC BOARD. Then you only need
to push the BOARDLOCK PINs all the way down
and the MODULE would be set up tightly on the
PC BOARD.
4. When the UNIVERSAL RETENTION MODULE is
installed on the PC BOARD, move the SLIDER
to the LOCK position to lock in the CPU. To re-
move the CPU, push the SLIDER down to the
OPEN position to unlock it.

Setp1:
Slide the Processor into the URM Assembly and
insert it in Slot1,while making sure that the heat
sink assembly is facing towards the chipset, as
shown in the figure .press down firmly on the cpu
until it is fully seated in the Slot1 connector
Important : The Slot1 connector is directionally keyed
and the processor will not go in unless it is properly
oriented. Do Not apply excessive force when installing
the cpu
Step2: Lock the cpu in the URM
Lock the Processor into the URM by pushing the
top-right and left latches in the outward position
as shown in the illusration
Step3: How to Remove the Processor
(A) unlock the cpu by pushing the top-right and left latches
inward
(B) Push both slides on the URM right and left branches
downward
(C) remove the Processor by pulling it upward while holding
the two slides in the down position

2.4 66/100MHz System Configuration
The jumper 1 (JP1) allows you to set FSB (Front Side Bus) to be 66 or 100MHz configuration.
When you set FSB to 66MHz, you can select the system bus frequency from 66MHz to 83.3MHz
through CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup in BIOS (Please refer to page
26). When you set FSB to 100MHz, you can select the system bus frequency from 100MHz to
150MHz through CPU Host/PCI Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup in BIOS (Please
refer to page 26).
HARDWARE INSTALLATION 8
2.5 CPU Internal Frequency Ratio Setting
The switch 1 (SW1) is designated for adjusting the CPU internal frequency ratio. The frequency
ratio is defined as the table shown below. The internal frequency can be calculated by the follow-
ing formula:
CPU internal frequency = frequency ratio x system bus frequency *
* System bus frequency is set in CPU Host /PCI Clock (CPU/PCI) of Chipset Features Setup
in BIOS (Please refer to page 28).
NOTE: Because Intel has locked the frequency ratio for new CPUs, setting SW1 to ad-
just the frequency ratio is useless. Howerer, it is effective for old version CPUs.

2.7 Keyboard Wake Up (3-pin KB-AWK)
This function disables or enables you to use the keyboard to power up the system. Set this
jumper to Enable if you wish to use your keyboard to power up your computer.
2.8 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-pin IDE)
This mainboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1(primary IDE channel) and
IDE2 (secondary IDE channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices that make total of four
devices. In order to work together, two devices on each channel must be set differently to master
and slave mode, either one can be hard disk or CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode
depends on the jumper on your IDE devices. Please refer to their manual accordingly. Connect
your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel.
