2-4 CPU Installation Avoid Static Electricity The Intel P4 processors and your motherboard contain sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by static electricity. We recommend that you leave the processor in its original packaging until you are ready to install it. You should only touch the edges of the processor, NEVER touch the processor pins to avoid static discharge.
Page 16
After placing the CPU lower the release lever to lock the processor in place. Now with the processor properly installed, you can proceed to install the heatsink. It is important to note that If you have never installed a heatsink on an Intel P4 processor before it may be difficult.
Page 17
The following picture shows a side view of the heatsink with the retaining clip at the bottom of the heatsink. Make sure this retaining clip is at the bottom of the heatsink before trying to install it. The non-moveable end of the heatsink retaining clip installed on the lug at the bottom of the processor socket.
2-4-1 CPU and System Cooling Any attempt to operate the Intel P4 Processor without a suitable cooling solution will result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other components within the system. FAN Headers Your motherboard allows the use of in all 2 FANs. Of these 2 FANs, 1 can be used by the CPU Heatsink assembly.
2-5 Connectors There are many connectors on this main board. Refer to the following pages for details. 2-5-1 Front Panel Front panel has connectors as “PWR_LED,” “SPEAKER,” “RESET,” “HD_LED,” “EXTSMI,” “PW-BN.” Please refer the details as below. GAME SPEAKER HE-LED PW-BN PWR_LEN RESET...

This connector supports HPSIR, ASKIR, and Fsat IR. Attach Infrared module to IR connector.
Memory This motherboard can supports Double Data Rate (DDR) Memory Modules or Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Two sockets are available for 2.5 Volt unbuttered DDR (Double Data Rate) and two sockets are abailable for 3.3Volt unbuttered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Acces Memory). The DDR sizes that are supported are: 128, 256 or 512MB memory sizes between 128MB to 512MB can be formed this way.
2-6-1 Memory Installation The DIMM modules can be inserted in DIMM slots 1 to 4. 1 to 2 are DDR sockets and 3 to 4 are SDRAM sockets. Because of the notches in the DIMM module it can be inserted in only one way. Please refer to the picture below for information on how to insert the DIMM modules.
Chapter3 Software Install 3-1 Notice of CD Driver Installation This CD contains below drivers. The user must read “Index” before installing required drivers. Index offers all the information on all the drivers. CD driver is always updated with the latest version, so the actual CD content may be somewhat different from the above picture.
3-2 How to Install Software Driver Installation Procedure: 1. Install “Via 4 in 1”: Select “VIA 4 in 1” directory from attached CD, then click “setup” to complete the installation; the “Via 4 in 1” drive provides O.S. Like windows 98/ ME to recognize VIA Chipset.

3. If user wants to update BIOS, please choose “Flashrom” utility.
Chapter4 The BIOS The BIOS is a piece of software (Basic Input Output System) that performs most low level tasks. When you start up your system, the BIOS is the first code that gets to run. The BIOS resides in a FLASH ROM, and the code in the FLASH ROM can be updated through a special utility called AWDFLASH.
Updating the BIOS As said, this procedure is complicated, only update your BIOS when you experience problems with your system. Because each BIOS release completely overwrites the previous version and there is no need to update to intermediate BIOS releases when updating the BIOS.
The CMOS memory The BIOS uses the CMOS memory to store all the settings that have been made through the BIOS Setup pages. Battery The CMOS memory remembers all settings, even when the system is switched off, by use of a 3V Lithium battery. If this battery runs low CMOS is unable to keep its settings and you will need to replace the battery.
Page 36
Take the following steps to clear CMOS memory: Take the power cord from the power supply. Temporarily set JBAT1 to 2–3, and set it back to 1-2. Put the power cord back and restart the system, the default values will be loaded.
