Before you start installing your mainboard we strongly recommend that you use a grounded anti-static mat. We further recommend that you attach an anti-static wristband, which is grounded at the same location as the mat, to your wrist. Page 12 AZZA KT33-BV Mainboard...
CPU. 2.4.2. Memory Modules The KT33-BV mainboards have three 184-pin DDR DIMM slots and are able to support a maximum of 3GB of DDR200/266/333 memory. The DDR DIMM slots are located on the right hand side of the board. To install the DIMM’s into these slots, make sure the white lever at each side of the slot has been pulled down to an angle of approximately 45°.
This problem can also occur if an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video adapter is used. 2.4.3. PCI Slots PCI Slots The KT33-BV mainboards each come with five PCI slots. They are located on the left hand side of the board. Both PCI and PCI expansion cards may require IRQ’s.
66 MHz and transfers data at a rate up to 1066 MB/s. This allows 3D appli- 66 pins cations to run more smoothly. The KT33-BV mainboards each come with one AGP slot. These slots are able to support 2x and 4x AGP cards. 2.5. Internal Connectors 2.5.1.
The internal USB connectors allow you to add on an optional kit to ex- pand the total number of USB ports available. The KT33-BV mainboards has two internal USB connectors (CN30 and CN31). This enables you to use an extra two USB devices.

2.9. Jumper Settings Jumpers are built on the mainboard to allow the user flexibility to configure the mainboard settings to meet their specific requirements. The KT33-BV main- boards come with 4 jumpers, three 3-pin and one 2-pin jumper. When there is no jumper cap inserted into the jumper it is called “OPEN.”...
Insert the jumper cap on Pin 2 and Pin 3 for 3 ~ 5 seconds. Pull out the jumper cap and replace it on Pin 1 and Pin 2. Turn your PC on and run the BIOS setup program Page 24 AZZA KT33-BV Mainboard...
