7 Quick
Steps
Please follow these steps in order to assure that your series
of Mainboard installation is successful. Please refer to the
back 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.
Installing the CPU
7 Quick Steps

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 Mainboard
in diagram) as follows :

Mainboard User's ManualPage 14
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 to work properly.
Attaching the Power Supply Wire
IMPORTANT: Wire should always be connected with the red
stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of
the connectors are labeled on the mainboard.
AT Power Connector
ATX Power Connector
A 12-Pin power supplies provide two plugs incorporates standard
+5V and +12V, each containing six wires, two of which are black.
Orient the connectors so that the black wires are together.

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 Device Connector.
The on-board IDE connectors (P in mainboard diagram)
support the provided 40/80-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 “mainboard diagram”.

Mounting Mainboard to 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 are snapped fully into place.

PCI Board Installation
Installing PCI 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 and press firmly. Secure
the card on the slot with the screw you removed from the
cover plate.
