Notice  
Please do not remove any labels on motherboard, this may void the warranty of this motherboard.  
Due to rapid change in technology, some of the specifications might be out of date before publication of this booklet.

commitment to update the information contained herein.  
Preparing Your Computer  
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To  
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you  
work on your computer.  
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.  
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one,  
touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power  
supply case.  
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other  
components.  
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components  
whenever the components are separated from the system.  
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power  
connector on the motherboard.  
Installing the motherboard to the chassis  
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there  
are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the  
mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so  
be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying  
about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the  
motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the  
screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it  
may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Introduction  
Hardware Installation Process  
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:  
Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)  
Step 2- Install memory modules  
Step 3- Install expansion cards  
Step 4- Install I/O Peripherals Cables  
Step 4  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 4  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)  
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:  
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.  
2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent  
irreparable damage.  
3. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper  
installation. Please change the insert orientation.  
4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.  
5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent  
damage will result.  
6. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.  
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification  
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,  
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific  
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,  
Memory, Cards…etc.  
HT functionality requirement content :  
Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system  
requires all of the following platform components:  
- CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology  
- Chipset: An SiS® Chipset that supports HT Technology  
- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled  
- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Socket  
Actuation  
Lever  
Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly.  
Figure 2.  
Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the  
CPU upper corner. Insert the CPU into the socket. (Do not force the  
CPU into the socket.) Then move the socket lever to the locked  
position while holding pressure on the center of the CPU.  
Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation  
Figure 1.  
Apply the thermal tape(or grease) to provide better heat conduction  
between your CPU and cooling fan.  
Figure 2.  
Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base onto the CPU socket on the  
motherboard.  
Figure 3.  
Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector, than  
install complete.

Hardware Installation Process  
Step 2: Install Memory Modules  
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:  
1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch.  
Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.  
The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically  
detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM  
socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between  
sockets.  
Notch  
DDR  
1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM  
memory module can only fit in one direction.  
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into  
the DIMM socket. Then push it down.  
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM  
sockets to lock the DIMM module.  
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to  
remove the DIMM module.

Step 3: Install AGP Card  
1. Read the relateAGP card's instruction document before install the AGP card into the computer.  
2. If your AGP card has "AGP 8X/4X(1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP  
8X/4X(1.5V).  
AGP 4X/8X notch  
3. Please carefully pull out the small white- drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to  
install/ Uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP slot and press firmly  
down on the slot .Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small white- drawable bar.

The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the  
computer. There are two types: auto type, and manual type. Manual type is user-definable; Auto type  
which will automatically detect HDD type.  
Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work  
properly if you enter improper information for this category.  
If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information  
directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documenta-  
tion form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

Halt on  
The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up.  
No Errors  
The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you  
will be prompted.  
All Errors  
Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped.  
All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other  
errors. (Default value)  
All, But Diskette  
The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors.  
All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for all  
other errors.  
Memory  
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.  
Base Memory  
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed  
in the system.  
The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on  
the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard.  
Extended Memory  
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.  
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.

"Top Performance" will increase H/W working speed. Different system configuration (both H/W  
component and OS) will effect the result. For example, the same H/W configuration might not run  
properly with Windows XP, but works smoothly with Windows NT. Therefore, if your system is not

disabling the option to avoid the problem as mentioned above.
