2-1 Hardware installation Steps Before using your computer, you had better complete the following steps: 1. Check motherboard setting 2. Install CPU 3. Install Memory 4. Install Expansion cards 5. Connect Ribbon cables, Panel wires, and power supply 6. Setup BIOS 7.
CMOS RAM Clear Setting (3-pin): JBAT A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration in CMOS RAM short 1-2 pins of JBAT to store the CMOS data. Note: You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin, while the system is unplug the power cord.
Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and speakers, mic, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices. LAN (interface) - Local Area Network - the interface to your local area network. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and establish the relationship between the various components.
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU, then press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force. 2-3-3 Over clock Running WARNING! This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of the processor.
This item allows you to set the DRAM clock synchronous as CPU Host Clock, or Asynchronous as Host clock *4/3 to approach your SDRAM specification. 2-4 Install Memory This motherboard provides 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 16MB to maximum memory size of 1GB SDRAM.
WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.

* Please don’t turn off/on power supply too quickly, we recommend at least wait 4sec before turn on the power, to protect the system. 3. Keyboard Connector (5-pin female): ATKB This connection is for a standard IBM-compatible keyboard. May also be known as a 101 enhanced keyboard.
Page 19
6. Serial port COMA and COMB Connector (Two 9-pin blocks): COM1, COM2 These connectors support the provided serial port ribbon cables with mounting bracket. Connect the ribbon cables to these connectors and mount the bracket to the case on an open slot. The two serial ports on the mounting bracket will then be used for pointing devices or other serial devices.
Page 20
Secondary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE2 This connector connects to the next set of Master and Slave hard disks. Follow the same procedure described for the primary IDE connector. You may also configure two hard disks to be both, Masters using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE connector and another ribbon cable on the secondary IDE connector.

This 5-pin connector connects to the case-mounted key switch for locking the keyboard for security purposes and Power LED together. 16. ATX Power button: PS/ON When using ATX power, the system power can be controlled by a momentary switch connected to PS-ON Pushing the button once will switch ON/OFF the system.
19. IR infrared module connector: IR This connector supports the optional wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module. This module mounts to small opening on system cases that support this feature you must also configure the setting through BIOS setup. Use the five pins as shown on the Back View and connect a ribbon cable from the module to the motherboard according to the pin definitions.
2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V240V or 110V120V depending on your country’s voltage used. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual.
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
