WARNING Thermal issue is highly essential for processors with a speed of 600MHz and above. Hence, we recommend you to use the CPU fan qualified by AMD or motherboard manufacturer. Meanwhile, please make sure CPU and fan are securely fastened well. Otherwise, improper fan installation not only gets system unstable but also could damage both CPU and motherboard because insufficient thermal dissipation.

This section outlines how to install and configure your mainboard. Referring to the following mainboard layout helps you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots and ports. 3.1 Step-by-Step Installation Accessories Of AN51R nVIDIA nForce3 250 Chipset FAN1 Socket 754 Three DIMM Slots...
Step 1 Install the CPU 1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector of your mainboard (between the back panel connectors and the DIMM memory slots). 2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
Step 2 Set Jumpers The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you need not to reset the jumpers unless you re- quire special adjustments as the following case: Clear CMOS Setting For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you not change the default jumper settings if you are not quite familiar with the mainboard con- figuration procedures.
Step 4 Install Internal Peripherals in System Case Before you place the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer hous- ing, 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 there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to make the back panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
Step 6 Connect Front Panel LEDs/Switches/Speaker/USBs You can find there are several cables existing in the system case and originat- ing from the front panel devices (HDD LED, Green LED, Reset switch, PC Speaker and USB devices etc.). These cables serve to connect the front-panel LEDs, switches, speaker and USB connectors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group, as shown below.
Step 11 Connect External Peripherals to Back Panel You are now ready to connect the external peripherals to your system's back panel. 1. PS/2 Mouse Port 2. PS/2 Keyboard Port 3. LPT1 Port 4. COM1 Port 5. Clear CMOS Button 6.
Step 12 System Boot Up For the First-Time To ensure your system completedly and correctly installed, please refer to the above installation steps once again before first booting up your system. 1. Insert a system-bootable floppy disk (DOS 6.2X, Windows 9X/NT, or others), which contains the FDISK and FORMAT utilities.
2000/ME/NT/XP operating systems. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the installation programs on CD-ROM. 1. Insert the AN51R bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The auto- run program will display the 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 jumpers, and the corner with a white right angle stands for Pin #1. There are several types of Pin #1 as shown below: 3-pin and multi-pin (>3) jumpers shown as follows: Pin #1 to the left:...
