Handling Precautions
CAUTION
High potential static charge can cause damage to the integrated circuits on the board. Before
handling any mainboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static
electric charge on your body.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
♦Keep the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
♦Protect your board form static electricity by well grounding of your body and the equipment during the
installation, such as wearing a grounded wrist strap.
♦Always handle the board by its edges.
♦Do not touch with the components on the boards, add-on cards and modules, or the “gold finger”
connectors going to be plugged into the expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting bracket.
♦Ensure the system power is completely turn-off before doing any installation work.

Features of the Board
Overview
Congratulations on purchasing the highest performance motherboard. With the advanced technology available
today, this motherboard is designed to run Pentium®, AMD®and Cyrix®processors. The on-board system
memory consists of DIMM. In addition, two unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, 168-pin SDRAM sockets are also included
for 16 to 256MB synchronous Dynamic memory support. A 321-pins , Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket allows
an easy upgrade path for the future processors.
The motherboard uses SIS 530 chipset. The SIS 530 PCI/ISA Bridge provides an integrated Bus Mastering
IDE controller with two high performance UltraDMA-66 IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (such as
hard drives or CD-ROM). The PCI/ISA Bridge also including an USB interface. The integrated I/O controller
integrates the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface, two FIFO serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel
port, and support for an IrDA and Consumer Infra Red compatible interface.
On-board 32-bit PCI local bus slots allow a higher bandwidth data path, which serves as a super highway for
intensive data-movement such as video or networking. The BIOS support PCI bridge user configuration, which
allows further expansion of the system with PCI peripherals. Up to two 16-bit ISA slots are provided so that
the board is backward hardware compatible with the older expansion card. A total of five expansion slots can
be populated with add-in cards as one PCI and ISA slots share the same chassis I/O panel.

1. Read the User’s Guide/Manual of your expansion card.
2. If necessary, set any jumpers on your expansion card.
3. Power-off the system and then disconnected the power cord.
4. Remove your computer’s cover.
5. Remove the metal bracket from one of the empty slot, ISA or PCI, corresponding to the type of
expansion card.
6. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly, make sure that the connection is good.
7. Secure the card on the slot.
8. Replace the computer’s cover.
9. Setup the BIOS configuration if necessary.
10. Install the required software drivers for your expansion card.
CAUTION
Before adding or removing any expansion card or other system components, make sure that
you unplug your system power supply. Failure to do so may cause damage of your
motherboard and expansion cards.

[D] Serial (COM 1 and 2) Port Headers
This motherboard provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports.
[E] Parallel (Printer) Port Connector
One Parallel port with SPP, EPP and ECP capabilities.
[F] Integrated Functions Connector
I) From Pin1 to Pin5 is the first USB device “USB1” and Pin11 to Pin15 is the second USB device
“USB2” connector. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is new interface standard for any I/O device “Outside
the Box”. USB makes your peripherals have a real plug and play (PnP) capabilities with up to
12MB/sec data speed In the coming soon, any external device connected to your computer will be
standardized into USB standard which are all have a special 4-pin rectangle shape connector.
Therefore, with the chipset, this motherboard builds two USB headers on-board for you future
investment. If you are using an USB device, you must purchase an optional USB connector.
II) From Pin6-10 is the PS/2 device, likes some PS/2 keyboard and mouse, are all have a standard 6-pin
round shape connector. However, it does not have a unique onboard standard. Therefore, please refer
to the Chapter “Motherboard Installation”, in order to purchase an suitable PS/2 Mouse Connector.
III) From Pin16-20 is a 5-pin interface on the front panel I/O connector is provided to allow connection to
a Hewlett Packard HSDSL-1000 compatible Infra-red (IrDA) transmitter/receiver. Once the module is
connected to the front panel I/O header, Serial port 2 can be re-directed to the IrDA module. When
configured for IrDA, the user can transfer files to or from portable devices such as laptops, PDA’s and
printers using application software such as LapLink. The IrDA specification provides for data
transfers at 115kbps from a distance of 1 meter. Support for Consumer Infra Red (ASK-IR) is also
included, please refer to your IR equipment for more detailed information.
[G] SDRAM Sockets
There are three unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, SDRAM socket on-board provides more flexibility for your system
memory upgrade.

LED and keyboard lock, turbo switch, reset switch, SMI switch and speaker.
[Q] WAKEUP-LINK Interface
This header is used to connect an add-in NIC (Network Interface Card) which has WOL capability to a
motherboard.
[S] IDE Connectors
This motherboard have two independent high performance bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces capable of
supporting up to UltraDMA-66 devices. The system BIOS supports automatic detection of the IDE device data
transfer rate and translation between different kinds of device mode such as Logical Block Addressing (LBA)
and Extended Cylinder Sector Head (ECSH) translation modes and ATAPI (e.g., CD-ROM) devices on both
IDE interfaces.
In a true multi-tasking operating systems like Windows98, the IDE interface can operate as a PCI bus master
capable of supporting Ultra DMA-66 devices with transfer rates of up to 66MB/sec.
