CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Essential Handling Precautions
IMPORTANT. Read this page before unpacking your motherboard!
•Power Supply
Be careful! Always ensure that the computer is disconnected from the power supply when
working on the motherboard and its components.
•Static
Staticelectricitymaycause damagetothedelicateintegrated circuitchipsonyourmotherboard.
Before handling the motherboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no
static electric charge in your body. To avoid this risk, please observe these simple precautions
whilehandlingthemotherboard and other computer components:
1. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap. This fits around your wrist and is connected to
a natural earth ground.
2. Touch a grounded or anti-static surface, or a metal fixture such as a pipe or the chassis of
your system, before touching the motherboard.
3. When you have removed the motherboard from its anti-static packaging, try to hold it only
by the edges, without touching any components.
4. Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards, and modules with the
golden fingers (gold-colored connectors) which plug into the expansion slots.
5. It is safest to handle system components only by their mounting brackets.
6. Keep components which are not connected to the system in the anti-static packaging
whenever possible.
These precautions help to reduce the risk of static build-up and ensure any static discharge is
harmlessto your equipment.
••
••
•Battery Replacement
The battery which holds the system settings memory on your motherboard should not require
replacementforatleast fiveyears, andprobablymuchlonger.Inpicture 2.2,it islocatednearthe
bottomright handcorner.

Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended by the
manufacturer. If the batteryis replaced incorrectly,there is a risk of ashort circuit or explosion.
Usedbatteriesshould disposed of according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
••
••
•Electric Screwdrivers
To reduce the riskofdamagetothe motherboard due toexcessivetorque,avoidsetting electric
screwdriversabove7.5kg/cm.
1.2 Checklist: Hardware Required for Setup
Itisadvisable to have all of these items of hardware available before you unpack your
motherboardfromits anti-static packaging and start building yoursystem.
- Computer case and chassis with appropriate power supply.
- Monitor.
- Slot 1 Central Processing Unit.
- DIMM memory module.
- PS/2 or USB Keyboard.
- PS/2 or USB Mouse.
- Hard Disk Drive.
- Floppy Disk Drive.
- CD-ROM Drive.
- (Optional) External Peripherals: printer, speakers, plotter, MODEM.
- (Optional) Internal Peripherals: MODEM, LAN cards.
1.3 Package Contents
This motherboard package should contain the following items. Please check them as soon as
you unpack. If you find any damaged or missing items, please contact your retailer.

Diagram 2: The Intel Processor Type

A B C
Step 1: Install the Processor into Slot 1
Slide the processor into the URM assembly and insert it
into Slot 1, 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 Slot 1 connector.
IMPORTANT: The Slot 1 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.
Step 2: Lock the CPU in the URM
Lock the processor into the URM by pushing the top-right
and top-left latches to the outward position as shown in
the illustration.
•Removing the Processor
Step 1: Unlock the CPU by pushing the top-right and
top-left latches inward.
Step 2: Push both slides on the URM right and left
branches downward.
Step 3: Remove the processor by pulling it upward
while holding the two slides in the down
position.

2.4 66/100/133MHz System Configuration
Jumper1 (JP1) allows you to set theFSB(FrontSideBus) to 66, 100 or 133MHzconfiguration.
Whenyou settheFSBto66MHz, youcanselect asystembusfrequencyfrom 66MHzto95MHz
through“CPUHost/PCIclock”in“ChipsetFeaturesSetup”(Pleaserefer to page31).Whenyou
set the FSB to 100MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 100MHz to 124MHz
through“CPUHost/PCIclock”in“ChipsetFeaturesSetup”(Pleaserefer to page31).Whenyou
set the FSB to 133MHz, you can select a system bus frequency from 124MHz to 150MHz
through ”CPU Host/PCI clock”in “Chipset Features Setup”(Please refer to page 31).
NOTE: If you are not familar with this feature, we recommend you set this jumper to
“AUTO”.
10 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.5 CPU Internal Frequency Ratio Setting
Switch1 (SW1) is for adjusting the CPU’sinternalfrequencyratio. The frequency ratio settings
areshown inthetable shownoverleaf.The internalfrequencycan becalculatedby thefollowing
formula:
CPU internal frequency = frequency ratio x system bus frequency *
* System bus frequency is set in “CPU Host/PCI Clock”of “Chipset Features Setup”in BIOS
SETUP MENU (Please refer to page 31 ).
NOTE: Because Intel has locked the frequency ratio for new CPUs, setting SW1 to
adjust the frequency ratio is useless. However, it is effective for old version CPUs.

2.7 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-pin IDE)
Thismainboardsupportstwo 40-pinIDEconnectors markedasIDE1(primaryIDE channel)and
IDE2(secondaryIDEchannel). Each channel supports two IDE devices, making a total of four
devices.ConnectyourHardDisk(themainoneif you are using more than one) to the “Master”
connector(at the endofthecable) and connectittothe IDE1 (seeimportantnotebelow). If your
HDDsupportsUltraDMA/66,you mustusean80-wirecable, otherwisetheHDDwon’tbeable to
reachthisspeed.
If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to
“Master”mode,the other to “Slave”mode. A Hard Disk, CDROMorotherIDEdevicecanhave
either setting, depending on device’s jumper. Please refer to the device’s manual for more
information.
NOTE: The connectors must be attached to the IDE channels the right way round. Make
sure that the red stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could also
be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the
