Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.
1.5 Checking Jumper Settings • For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position. •...

CMOS Backup Battery: An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS checksum error”...
1.6 Connecting Chassis Components 1.6.1 ATX Power Connectors These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these connectors.
1.6.2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection.
1.6.3 FAN Power Connectors These connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. • CPU_FAN: CPU Fan Power Connector • SYS_FAN: System Fan Power Connector • CHS_FAN: Chassis Fan Power Connector ※ These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.
1.7 Installing Hardware ※ DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidentally scratch of a tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the motherboard. ※ In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to these notices: 1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is recommended.

1-12 8. Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto the socket. Align the four fasteners toward the four mounting holes on the motherboard. 9. Press each of the four fasteners down into the mounting holes. Rotate the fastener clock-wise to lock the heatsink and fan assembly into position.
1.7.2 DDR2/DDR Memory Slots This motherboard supports two DDR or two DDR2 DIMMs. Note that DDR & DDR2 cannot be both applied at the same time. Apply either DDR or DDR2 memory modules only! ※ Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required after adding or removing memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any memory module related problem occurs.
1.8 Connecting Peripheral Devices 1.8.1 Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1 on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector.
SATA device and connect the other end from the power supply. ※ The motherboard in this illustration is served for DEMO only, may not be the same type or model as the one described in this user’s manual. LG-95/LG-95Z 1-15...
1.8.3 Additional USB 2.0 Port Headers Each header supports 2x additional USB 2.0 ports by connecting bracket or cable to the rear I/O panel or the front-mounted USB ports of your chassis. ※ Make sure the connecting cable bears the same pin assignment. 1.8.4 Internal Audio Connectors This connector connects to the audio output of internal CD-ROM drive or add-on card.
1.8.5 Front Panel Audio Connection Header This header provides the connection to audio connector at front panel. Signal Name PORT1 L PORT1 R PRESENCE# PORT2 R SENSE1_RETURN SENSE_SEND PORT2 L SENSE2_RETURN LG-95/LG-95Z 1-17...
1.9 Connecting Rear Panel I/O Devices The rear I/O part of this motherboard provides the following I/O ports: • Mouse: Connects to PS/2 mouse. • Keyboard: Connects to PS/2 keyboard. • LPT1: Connects to printer or other devices that support this communication protocol.
2. BIOS Setup This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM so that you can update the BIOS utility. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”.
3. Driver & Utility The “Driver & Utility CD” that came packed with this motherboard contains drivers, utilities and software applications required for its basic and advanced features. Place the “Driver & Utility CD” into the CD-ROM drive in your system. The following installation auto-run screen appears.
5.1 Troubleshooting (How to Get Technical Support?) 5.1.1 Q & A Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my new computer system? A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard.
