Step 1. CPU Installation: This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4/Celeron Socket 478 series CPU. Please follow the step as below to finish CPU installation. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket. 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. CPU socket lever up to 90 degree 2.
Page 15
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation. Note: Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge Note: Note: Note: well, it may damage the CPU. 4. The Intel Pentium 4/Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure proper cooling of the processor.
Step 2. Set Jumpers This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as any of the following cases: 1.
Step 4. Install Internal Peripherals in System Case Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/ HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
Step 5. Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis 1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose correct mounting holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
Step 6. Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originating from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED, Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group (J1 and USB2/3), as shown below.

Step 11 Connect External Peripherals to Back-Panel You are now ready to put the computer case back together and get on to the external peripherals connections to your system back-panel. V G A P R T 1. PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard 2.
Step 12 First Time System Boot Up To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your system for the first time. 1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2000/ME/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs. 1. Insert the AV49/AV49N bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The auto-run program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.
3.2 Jumper Settings Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to con- nect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each jumper, you just find the location with a white right angle which stands for pin 1#.
Jumpers & Connectors Guide Use the mainboard layout on page 11 to locate CPU socket, memory banks, expansion slots, jumpers and connectors on the mainboard during the installation. The following list will help you to identify jumpers, slots, and connectors along with their assigned functions: B2~B3 B4~B7 B8~B9...
