Lock Blank White Dot Lever CPU ZIF Socket 370 ® ® 2-7-3 Intel Pentium III Processor (256K) in the FC-PGA form factor: Mechanical Features The FC-PGA package has the processor’s silicon die directly mounted to a pinned interposer substrate. The pin grid array is partially populated and there may be surface mount components in the unpopulated central area of the pin field.
FC-PGA with a PPGA heatsink CPU Insertion Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Step 2 Insert the processor. Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with the socket corner closest to the actuation arm tip. The pin field is keyed to prevent mis-oriented insertion.
2-8 Expansion Cards You must read the documentation come with expansion card for any hardware or software settings that may be required to setup your specific card. Installation Procedure: 1. Read the documentation from your expansion card. 2. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card. 3.

Power connector: AT Power Connector (12-pin block): PW1 This connector connects to a standard AT power supply. To connect the leads from the power supply, ensure first that the power supply is not plugged. Most power supplies provide two plugs (P8 and P9), each containing six wires, two of which are black. Orient the connectors so that the black wires are located in the middle.

Chapter 3 AWARD BIOS SETUP Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery- backed CMOS RAM so data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless here is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed.

The 4 Speakers System This Audio Adapter provides 2 wave channels(front/rear), known as the 4 speakers system. When games or application programs via DirectSound® 3D or A3D® interface locate the sound sources to the listener's back, the two rear speakers will work to enhance the rear audio positional effect, so as to complement the insufficiency of using only two front speakers to emulate the audio effect.

When all the procedures have been completed, there will be an infrared signal coming from the SPDIF/OUT of the optical fiber of the sound card. Please note that signal beam may cause severe damage to the eyes. For your safety, please point the output end to a piece of white paper to check if thebeam is in function.
Please note that in playback, if there is no gap longer than three seconds between each track, the MD can not recognize the tracks and will record all of them into one. It is recommended that you set the gap time to 3~5 seconds to meet all type of MD requirements. About Recording 24bit Audio Setting...
