Configuration & Install ation
This chapter explains how to configure the moth-
erboard, install a CPU and system memory and
has basic information on installing the mother-
board in a system housing or "chassis". We then
explain how to install the support software that
comes on the Support Disk. If the board is already
installed in a system, you may want to review this
chapter or you can skip it and go to the next chap-
ter which covers some post-installation topics.
Hardware Configuration
There are three steps to configure the mother-
board hardware before installing it in a system
housing: configuring the jumper switches, in-
stalling a CPU and installing system memory.
Configuring The Jumpers
This motherboard has five standard jumper
switches and the BIW2A-AT has two extras, one
for the TV-Out feature and one for the Creative
audio option. All the jumpers come preset to de-
fault settings. You will probably not need to
change any of the settings. Please note that once
the motherboard is installed, you should always
turn your computer off and disconnect the power
cord before changing any jumper settings. In all
cases, you should always take precautions against
static electric damage to sensitive components.
The default settings are listed in the following ta-
ble.
