Please follow these steps in order to assure your series
Mainboard installation is successful. Please refer to the
following chapters for further information regarding boot-up and
configurations. An anti-static wrist band is recommended when
handling electronic components, be sure your work area is
static free before you begin this section.

The mainboard provides a 370 pins, Socket 370. The CPU
should have a fan attached to prevent overheating. If a
fan is not present, user should purchase a fan prior to
turning on the system. The recommended heatsinks for the
Socket 370 processor are those with three-pin fans that can
be connected to the fan connectors on the mainboard. It
provides the +12 Volts D.C. for your CPU cooling fan.
Connect the CPU Fan power to "CPU FAN" header on the
motherboard. (T on mainboard diagram.)

7 Quick
Steps

Set the suitable Jumper Settings according to the
Jumper settings Table.
CAUTION! Be sure that sufficient air circulation must be
available across the processor’s heatsink. Without sufficient
circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both
the processor and the mainboard. You may install an
auxiliary fan if necessary.

After you have set the DIMM firmly into its socket, snap the
white chip holders up to lock in the DIMM.
Installing the Memory
Memory is installed in DIMM Sockets 1-2 (F in diagram)
as follows :

ATX Power Connector
ATX Power Supply Connector (20-pin ATXPWR)
The single 20-pin connector (B in mainboard diagram)
incorporates standard +/-5V and +/-12V, with a standby 5V.
With a power supply that supports remote power on/off,
the mainboard can turn off the system power through the
software control, such as the shutdown in Windows 95 Start
Menu. The BIOS system will turn the system power off when
it receives the proper APM command from the OS. APM
must be enabled in the BIOS and OS systems in order for
the soft-off feature is to work properly.
Attaching the power supply ribbon cable
IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected
with the red stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector.
The four corners of the connector's are labeled on the
mainboard.

FLoppy Disk Drive Connector (34-pin FLOPPY).
This is a 34-pin connector that supports the provided floppy
drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the
on-board “FLOPPY” connector, (O in mainboard diagram) connect
the remaining plugs on the other end to the corresponding
floppy drives.
IDE Connector.
The on-board IDE connectors (P in mainboard diagram)
support the provided 80-pin IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After
connecting the single end to the mainboard, connect the
remaining plugs at the other end of your hard disk(s). If you
install hard disks, you must configure the drives by setting its
jumpers according to the documentation of your hard disk.
Also, you may connect the hard disk drives so that both
become Masters, using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE-
connector, and the other on the secondary IDE connector.
NOTE: For the flat ribbon cable connection, please make
sure that the pin 1 of the ribbon cable (the red wire side of
the cable) is correctly connected to the on-board connector's
pin 1 as shown on the “ the mainboard diagram”.

Installing the mainboard into your computer chassis
Snap black mounting pins onto the mainboard as shown.
Carefully install the mainboard into the computer chassis and
align the corresponding mounting holes on the mainboard
with the holes on you chassis. While chassis design varies
you may need to refer to the chassis manual for the mainboard
mounting area. Insert white pins through the chassis and
through the mounting holes on the mainboard into the black
pin making sure they have snapped fully into place.

Installing Add-in Boards
First read your expansion card documentation for hardware
and software settings that may be required to set up your
specific card. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion
card and remove the cover plate on your computer case at the
slot you intend to use. Keep the plate for possible future use.
Carefully align the card's connector's and press firmly. Secure
the card on the slot with the screw you removed from the
cover plate.

Make sure to align rear external I/O connector's with
the corresponding openings in chassis shown below
(A,C & G in mainboard diagram)
You can now attach the Front Panel
Function Connector (M in mainboard
diagram P.9 ) wires and Keyboard,
Mouse and Monitor cables to the
appropriate ports. Connect the main
power cable and boot your system.
Press the DEL key when prompted
and continue BIOS configurations
discussed in the next chapter.
