Hardware Setup
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as
how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the
peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in
holding the components and follow the installation procedures.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron(D) processor in the 478 pin package. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing
the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent
overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and
install them before turning on the computer. (For the latest information about CPU, please visit
