for a golden arrow on the CPU

upper interface. Match Pin 1 and

golden arrow. Then insert the CPU

into the socket.

4. Press down CPU socket plate and

lever to finish CPU installation.

1. Installing CPU

Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 4-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan,

you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector.

SYSFAN1 Connector

CPUFAN Connector

DIMM slots are designed in Navy Blue and Electronic Blue which are very easy to

recognize. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and

press down firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place.

4. Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables

Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy connector FDD

and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause

system damage.

FDD Connector

Pin 1

Note: Some CPU fans

do not have sensor pin so

they cannot support fan

monitoring.

Warning: If you do not match the CPU

socket Pin 1 and CPU golden arrow well, you

may damage the CPU. And please don’t

touch CPU socket pins when installing CPU.

Note: The tabs of

the DIMM slot will

close-up to hold the

DIMM in place when the

DIMM touches the slot’s

bottom.

This motherboard comes with a 24-pin and 4-pin ATX power connector as shown

below. Make sure you plug in the right direction. We strongly recommend you to

insert the 4-pin connector before connecting the 24-pin connector.

After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power

on and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self

Test). Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal

performance.

5. Connecting Front Panel cable

6. Connecting ATX Power Cables

Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to the corresponding

pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED

will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode.

Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is 2-pin female

connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power

switch connector marked SPWR.

7. Power-on and Loading BIOS Setup

8. AOpen EzInstall and Bonus Pack CD

You can use the autorun menu of Bonus CD disc. Choose the utility and driver

from the icons at left side, and then click on the “GO” button to complete

installation automatically.

Warning: Please avoid of using "Load Turbo Defaults", unless you are sure your

system components (CPU, RAM, HDD, etc.) are good enough for turbo setting.

Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency

This motherboard supports Voltage ID (VID) function to detect CPU voltage

automatically during power-on. It’s not necessary to set CPU core voltage.

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through

1MHz stepping CPU Overclocking in the BIOS. CPU Core Frequency = CPU FSB

clock x CPU Ratio. However, all CPU now selling in the market belong to "Fixed

Multiplier". That means users can not adjust the CPU Ratio but only change CPU

FSB clock to achieve overclocking.

(Users do the overclocking at their own risk!!)

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup

CPU Ratio 8x, 10x… 24x, 25x, 26x, 27x, 28x

CPU FSB

(Adjustment manually)

JP14 Clear CMOS

JP28 Keyboard/Mouse Wakeup Jumper

This motherboard provides keyboard / mouse wake-up function. You can use JP28

to enable or disable this function, which could resume your system from suspend

mode with keyboard or mouse. The factory default setting is “Disable” (1-2), and

you may enable this function by setting the jumper to 2-3.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow

the

rocedure below.

Pin 1

Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin so they cannot

support fan monitoring.

Warning: Intel 915G / 915p

chipset support maximum

800MHz (200MHz*4) system

bus; higher clock setting may

cause serious system damage.

Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?

1. Boot fails because of overclocking…

2. Forget password…

3. Troubleshooting…

Note: Intel 915G / 915p

chipset support LGA 775

processor. LGA 775 processor

could detect the clock ratio

automatically; you may not

be able to adjust the clock

ratio in BIOS manual.

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC

power.

2. Remove ATX power cable from

connector PWR3.

3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few

seconds.

4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by

shorting pin 1 & pin 2.

5. Connect ATX power cable back to

connector PWR3.

If the housing is designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to

connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. Please be

informed that to have front audio ports work properly, the front audio

panel of the housing should be designed for High definition Audio jack. If

the front audio panel is not designed for High Definition Audio jack, we

strongly recommend you to connect the microphone to the back panel of

the motherboard.

This motherboard comes with a game port (Joystick-Midi) for you to connect any

midi devices or joysticks. To use this function you have to have a joystick module

and connect it with a game port cable to this port on the motherboard.

The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with

this module and application software such as Laplink or Windows Direct Cable

Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and

printers. This connector supports both HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR

(56Kbps).

Install an infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared

function from BIOS Setup, UART Mode, you can use this function. Please make

sure you connect correct orientation when plugging IrDA module.
