Choosing a Computer Case  
There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com-  
plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the  
mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-  
cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all  
the features required. The mainboard can support one floppy diskette drive  
and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and  
space for all the drives that you intend to install.  
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that  
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge  
of the mainboard.  
This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 30.5 x 24.4 cm. Choose a case that  
accommodates this form factor.  
This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter explains how to install the main-  
board.

ample of a mainboard being  
installed in a tower-type case:  
2. Secure the mainboard with  
screws where appropriate.  
Note: Do not overtighten  
the screws as this  
can stress the main-  
board.  
Most system cases have  
mounting brackets installed in  
the case, which correspond to  
the holes in the mainboard.  
Place the mainboard over the  
mounting brackets and secure  
the mainboard onto the mount-  
ing brackets with screws.  
1. Place the mainboard  
over the mounting brackets.  
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and  
expansion slots on your mainboard.  
Checking Jumper Settings  
This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the main-  
board.  
Setting Jumpers  
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with  
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the  
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.  
The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper. This illustration shows a 3-pin  
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.  
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the

Installing Hardware  
Installing the Processor  
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that  
you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount resistors  
with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes  
across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard  
or its components.  
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the  
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly  
installed.  
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the  
clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can  
clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.  
Before installing the Processor  
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and sys-  
tem bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these  
settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the  
settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not  
overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.  
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of  
the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can per-  
manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in  
components that are run beyond the rated limits.  
This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a proc-  
essor, 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.  
The following processors are currently supported by this mainboard.  
Athlon XP: 1500+~2000+, FSB: 266 MHz  
Athlon: 650 MHz~1.4 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz, 266 MHz  
Duron: 550 MHz~ 1.3GHz, FSB: 200 MHz  
CPU Installation Procedure  
The following illustration shows CPU installation components:  
10  
Note: The pin-1 corner is marked with an arrow  
Follow these instructions to install the CPU:  
1. Pull the CPU socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it and raise  
the locking lever to the upright position.  
2. Identify the pin Pin-1 corner  
on the CPU socket and the  
pin Pin-1 corner on the  
processor.  
3. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the socket. Do not use  
force.  
4. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the edge of the  
socket.  
5. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.  
6. Lower the CPU fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU and CPU socket and then snap  
then snap the fan/heatsink into place.  
7. Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU cooling fan power supply on the  
mainboard (CPUFAN).  
Installing Memory Modules  
The mainboard has two 168-pin/184-pin DIMM sockets for SDRAM/DDR  
(Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory modules.  
11  
DDR SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on  
whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and  
2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.  
DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin  
2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered  
DIMMs used by SDRAM.  
Installation Procedure  
You must install at least one memory  
module in order to use the main-  
board.  
Note: You cannot use DDR  
SDRAM and SDRAM  
simultaneously.  
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.  
1.  
2.  
Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.  
Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with  
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be  
installed correctly.  
3.  
Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the  
notches in the DIMM slot:

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.  
About IDE Devices  
Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and  
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-  
board.  
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and  
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.  
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as  
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’ s manual. When installing two  
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the  
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains  
how to do this.  
About UltraDMA  
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 66/100. UDMA is a technology that accel-  
erates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize  
performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE ca-  
bles that support UDMA 66/100.  
Installing a Hard Disk Drive  
1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.  
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1  
(A):  
Note: Ribbon cable connectors  
are usually keyed so that they can  
only be installed correctly on the  
device connector. If the connector  
is not keyed, make sure that you  
match the pin-1 side of the cable  
connector with the pin-1 side of the  
device connector. Each connector  
has the pin-1 side clearly marked.  
The pin-1 side of each ribbon ca-  
ble is always marked with a  
colored stripe on the cable.  
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the hard disk drive IDE connector (B). It  
doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.  
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on  
the hard disk drive (C).  
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect  
your hard disk drive. If it doesn’ t, enter the Setup Utility and use the IDE Hard  
Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the hard disk drive that you have in-  
stalled.  
13  
Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive  
1. Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system case.  
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1  
(A). If you have already installed  
an HDD, use the other connec-  
tor on the IDE cable.  
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are  
usually keyed so that they can only  
be installed correctly on the device  
connector. If the connector is not  
keyed, make sure that you match the  
pin-1 side of the cable connector with  
the pin-1 side of the device connec-  
tor. Each connector has the pin-1  
side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of  
each ribbon cable is always marked  
with a colored stripe on the cable.  
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It  
doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.  
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on  
the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).  
5. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the  
mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D).  
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect  
your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn’ t, enter the Setup Utility and configure  
the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed.  
Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive  
The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FDD) interface and ships with a  
diskette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives. You  
can install a 5.25-inch drive and a 3.5-inch drive with various capacities. The  
floppy diskette drive cable has one type of connector for a 5.25-inch drive and  
another type of connector for a 3.5-inch drive.  
1. Install the FDD into the drive cage in your system case.  
2. Plug the FDD cable into FDC  
(A):  
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are  
usually keyed so that they can only  
be installed correctly on the device  
connector. If the connector is not  
keyed, make sure that you match the  
pin-1 side of the cable connector with  
the pin-1 side of the device connec-  
tor. Each connector has the pin-1  
side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of  
each ribbon cable is always marked  
with a colored stripe on the cable.  
3. Plug the correct connector on the FDD cable for the 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch drive  
into the FDD connector (B).  
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on  
the FDD (C).  
When you first start up your system, go immediately to the Setup Utility to  
14  
configure the floppy diskette drives that you have installed.  
Installing Add-on Cards  
This mainboard has five 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect)  
expansion slots, one 4xAGP slot, and one AMR slot.  
4xAGP Slot  
PCI Slots  
AMR Slot  
The 4xAGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports the  
4xAGP specifications and has a 4xAGP edge connector.  
PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI  
interface.  
The AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot is an industry standard slot that  
allows for the installation of a special audio/modem riser card. Differ-  
ent territories have different regulations regarding the specifications  
of a modem card. You can purchase an AMR card that is approved in  
your area and install it directly into the AMR slot.  
Note: Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card  
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually con-  
figure the card before installation.  
Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:  
1. Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you  
are going to use.  
15  
2. Install the edge connector of the  
add-on card into the expansion  
slot. Ensure that the edge con-  
nector is correctly seated in the  
slot.  
3. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.

Using BIOS  
About the Setup Utility  
The computer uses the latest AMI 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.  
The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this  
information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on,  
the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.  
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:  
·
·
·
·
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals  
Video display type and display options  
Password protection from unauthorized use  
Power management features  
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Be-  
fore using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility  
options.  
This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.  
The Standard Configuration  
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However,  
we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any  
changes in the future.  
This Setup Utility should be used:  
·
·
when changing the system configuration  
when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to  
make changes to the Setup Utility  
·
·
·
when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts  
when making changes to the Power Management configuration  
when changing the password or making other changes to the Secu-  
rity Setup  
Running the Setup Utility  
Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a mes-  
sage appears on the screen that prompts you to “Hit <DEL> if you want to run  
SETUP” . When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main  
menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.

Using the Mainboard Software  
About the Software CD-ROM  
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard package  
contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bun-  
dled products. Below you can find a brief description of each software  
program, and the location for your mainboard version. More information on  
some programs is available in a README file, located in the same directory  
as the software.  
Note: Never try to install software from a folder that is not specified for use with  
your mainboard.  
Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named RE-  
ADME.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain  
important information that is not included in this manual  
Auto-installing under Windows 98  
The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and soft-  
ware for your mainboard.  
Note: If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still in-  
stall drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows  
Explorer). Refer to Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.  
The support software CD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows 98.  
When you insert the CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive, the autorun feature  
will automatically bring up the install screen. The screen has three buttons on  
it, Setup, Browse CD and Exit.  
33  
Note: If the opening screen doesn't appear, double-click the file "setup.exe" in  
the root directory.

Before installing the software from Windows Explorer, look for a  
file named README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT or something similar.  
This file may contain important information to help you install the  
software correctly.  
Some software is installed in separate folders for different oper-  
ating systems, such as DOS, WIN NT, or WIN98/95. Always go  
to the correct folder for the kind of OS you are using.  
To install the software, execute a file named SETUP.EXE or  
INSTALL.EXE by double-clicking the file and then following the  
instructions on the screen.

Manual Installation  
Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive and locate the PATH.DOC file in the root  
directory. This file contains the information needed to locate the drivers for  
your mainboard.  
Look for the chipset and mainboard model; then browse to the directory and  
path to begin installing the drivers. Most drivers have a setup program  
(SETUP.EXE) that automatically detects your operating system before instal-  
lation. Other drivers have the setup program located in the operating system  
subfolder.  
If the driver you want to install does not have a setup program, browse to the  
operating system subfolder and locate the readme text file (README.TXT or  
README.DOC) for information on installing the driver or software for your  
operating system.
