2.3 Hardware Setup Procedure

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

• Check Motherboard Settings

• Install Memory Modules

• Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Install Expansion Cards

• Connect Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires, and Power Supply

2.4 Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard’s function settings

through the use of switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Inte-

grated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you

should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or

other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the compo-

nent whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the

ATX power connector on the motherboard.

2.5 System Memory (DIMM)

NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are

available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-

cess Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128MB, 256 or 512MB to form a memory size

between 16MB and 1GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one

row on the motherboard.

To use the chipset’s Error Checking and Correction (ECC) feature, you must use a

DIMM with 9 chips per side (standard 8 chips/side + 1 ECC chip).

Install memory in any combination as follows:

IMPORTANT

•For optimum signal integrity, inserting the DIMMs in the following order is

recommended: DIMM1, DIMM2.

•SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current PC133/PC100 SDRAM

specification.

2.5.1 General DIMM Notes

• This motherboard supports SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the

memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.

• This motherboard does NOT support registered memory.

• SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Ex-

tended Data Output) chips.

• Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32,

64, 128, 256, 512MB.

2.5.2 DIMM Memory Installation

Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either

side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation shown. DIMM mod-

ules are longer and have different pin contact on each side and therefore have a

higher pin density. SIMM modules have the same pin contact on both sides.

The notches on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or right to identify

the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot

on the motherboard. You must ask your retailer the correct DIMM type before pur-

chasing. This motherboard supports four clock signals.

2.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket A. The CPU that came with the mother-

board should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case,

then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

WARNING!Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working.Without sufficient

circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the

motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF

socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then

upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown.

The notched corner should point towards the end of the lever. Because the CPU has

a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as

shown. The picture is for reference only; you should have a CPU fan that covers the

face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to

insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the socket’s lever while holding

down the CPU.After the CPU is , install an Intel recommended fan heatsink. Locate

the CPU fan connector (see 2.1 Motherboard Layout or 2.8 Connectors) and con-

nect the CPU fan cable to it.

CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clamp-

style processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

2.7 Expansion Cards

WARNING!Unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion

cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to

both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2.7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hard-

ware or software settings for your expansion card, such as jumpers.

2. Remove your computer system’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you

intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.

3. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary

7. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.

2.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclu-

sively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but

most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your

motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your moth-

erboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.
