  • Page 25: Installing The Processor

    Installing the Processor This motherboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory.

  • Page 26: Installing Memory Modules

    Installing Memory Modules This motherboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory modules. Each module can be installed with 128 MB to 1 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 2GB. Note: DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.

  • Page 27: Jumper Settings

    4. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM slot. 5. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM.

  • Page 32: Install Other Devices

    Install Other Devices Install and connect any other devices in the system following the steps below. Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive and a CD-ROM drive. Your motherboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and IDE2).
  • Page 33 IDE2: Secondary IDE The second drive on this controller must be set to slave mode. The configuration is the same as IDE1. You must orient the cable connector so that the pin 1 (color) edge of the cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.
  • Page 34 This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the onboard floppy connector, connect the remaining plugs on the other end to the floppy drives correspondingly. You must orient the cable connector so that the pin 1 (color) edge of the cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.

  • Page 35: Expansion Slots

    Expansion Slots The slots in this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware which performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.

  • Page 36: Chapter 3: Using Bios

    Chapter 3 Using BIOS About The Setup Utility The computer uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the mainboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the mainboard BIOS. The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters.
  • Page 37 Starting Setup The BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.).
