Quick Installation Guide QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE Congratulations on your purchase of SY-5STM Mainboard. You are about to install and connect your new mainboard. Note: Do not unpack the mainboard from its protective anti-static packaging until you have made the following preparations.
Quick Installation Guide SY-5STM UNPACKING THE MAINBOARD Like most electronic equipment, your mainboard may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. To avoid permanent damage to components ground yourself while working by using a grounding strap. Otherwise, ground yourself frequently by touching the unpainted portion of the computer chassis to drain the static charges.
Page 11
Quick Installation Guide Follow these steps to install the CPU in the Socket 7: Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole distinctive edge on the socket. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place.
Page 12
Quick Installation Guide Step 3. CPU Voltage Setting (JP17, JP30) Default CPU voltage settings are as follows: Ø J17: Single* Voltage (*Default) Ø JP30: 3.52* V (*Default) If the markings on your CPU correspond to the default values, you do not need to set any voltage jumper since your mainboard comes pre-configured with the default values.
