Page 17: Cpu Installation
CPU Installation The motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating . If this is not the case then purchase a fan before you turn on your system. To install a CPU , first turn off your system and remove its cover. -

Selecting the CPU Frequency CPU voltage auto-detection and allow user to set CPU frequency through BIOS setup, no jumper or switch is needed. The correct CPU information is saved into EPROM, with these technologies, the disadvantages of Pentium base jumper-less design are eliminated. There will be no worry of wrong CPU voltage detection and no need to re-open the housing if CMOS battery loss. -

EXTERNAL CONNECTORS Both Ribbon cable and Connectors on board are with direction signs to avoid that user insert wrong directions. On other hand, the ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the pin 1 of side of the connector. MIDI/(GAME) Port MIDI/(GAME) Port Parallel (Printer) Port... - Page 20 1. PS/2 Keyboard port This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN) . This connector will not allow standard at AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards. 2.

Orientate the fans so that the heatsink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different.
- Page 22 8. Primary / Secondary IDE connectors (Two 40-pin Blocks) These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other end to your hard disk no space(s) . If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper settings.

Page 28: Chapter4 Audio Installation
Chapter 4 Audio Installation Audio Rack Introduction The Audio Rack32 enables you to take advantage of your computer's audio capabilities with all of the controls conveniently in one compact space. You can play audio CDs, wave files ( in .wav and .aud formats), and MIDI files (in .mid and .rmi formats). - Page 29 The AudioRack32 has six main parts: Command Center- customizes the appearance of the AudioRack32. Audio Mixer - Controls the volume and balance of the AudioRack32 devices. Digital Audio Player- plays and records files in the .wav format. MIDI Player - enables you to play MIDI files. Compact Disk Player - enables you to play audio CDs on a CD- ROM.
- Page 30 The Command Center Introduction The command center controls the parts of the AudioRack32 that are displayed. You can display or hide any part of the AudioRack32 you choose, customizing its appearance to suit your needs or desires. It also displays information on the status of the different audio components.
- Page 31 The Audio Mixer Introduction The Audio Mixer has two modes : playback mode and record mode. You can use these two modes to fully control the audio soources you are listening to or recording, how loud each of those sources are and how they are balanced.
- Page 32 The Digital Audio Player Introduction The digital audio player enables you to play, record, and compress sound as .wave files. In addition, you can play audio files. The wave files use PCM, which is the Windows' audio file format. The .aud format uses ESPCM compression to produce an audio file.
- Page 33 The MIDI Player has an indicator to show when you are listening to ESFM. When the EXFM light to the left of the playlist button is lit, the MIDI Player is using ESFM synthesis. ESFM performs superior- quality music synthesis compared to that of traditional FM, producing richer timbre and greater depth of instrument voices.
- Page 34 The Audio Recorder The audio recorder enables you to record, compress, store, and play back voice, music, and other sound. It provides settings for sound attributes such as mono/stereo, compression level, and sampling rate, You can use it to embed sound objects in documents created in appli- cations that support object linking and embedding (OLE).
- Page 35 Using AudioRack CD player as Default CD Player During installation, you will be asked if you want to use AudioRack CD player as the default CD player. Normally Windows 95 CD player is the default and will automatically run when as audio CD is inserted into the CD-ROM.
