Hardware Setup 2-1 Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged. 2-1.
2-2 Chapter 2 2-2. Install CPU, Heatsink and Fan Assembly Please pay attention to the following notices before installing the CPU and heatsink/fan assembly. 1. Always use the processor with the Heatsink and Fan Assembly installed. 2. Do not touch the pins on the processor. 3. If you ever need to reinstall the Heatsink and fan Assembly, please clean the heatsink surface and apply new thermal interface material first. 3. Lower the locking lever to the fully locked position. 1.
Hardware Setup 2-3 6. On the other side, push the retention clip straight down to lock into the plastic lug on the retention frame. 7. Turn the cam lever to lock into the retention frame. 8. Attach the four-pin power plug from the heatsink and fan assembly to the CPU FAN connector. For detailed information on how to install your heatsink and fan assembly, please refer to the instruction manual came packed with the heatsink and fan assembly you bought.
2-4 Chapter 2 2-3. Install System Memory This system board provides two 184-pin DDR DIMM slots for DDR400 memory modules with memory expansion size up to 2GB.
Hardware Setup 2-5 2-4. Connectors, Headers and Switches Here we will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches, and how to connect them. Please read the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all the hardware installation inside the computer chassis. A complete enlarged layout diagram is shown in Chapter 1 for all the position of connectors and headers on the board that you may refer to.
2-6 Chapter 2 (2). FAN Connectors These 3-pin connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system. The CPU must be kept cool by using a powerful fan with heatsink. The system is capable of monitoring the speed of the CPU fan. • CPUFAN1: CPU Fan Power Connector • CASFAN1: Auxiliary Fan Power Connector WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.
Hardware Setup 2-7 (3). CMOS Memory Clearing Header This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory. • Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Normal operation. • Pin 2-3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory. WARNING: Turn the power off first (including the +5V standby power) before clearing the CMOS memory. Failing to do so may cause your system to work abnormally or malfunction.
2-8 (4). Chapter 2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers These headers are used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention to connect these headers. A wrong orientation will only cause the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.
Hardware Setup 2-9 (5). Additional USB Port Headers These headers each provide 2 additional USB 2.0 ports connection through an USB cable designed for USB 2.0 specifications.
2-10 Chapter 2 (6). Front Panel Audio Connection Header This header provides the connection to audio connector at front panel. • To use the audio connector at front panel, remove all the jumpers on this header, and then connect to front panel by the extension cable provided with the chassis. • To use the audio connector at rear panel, disconnect the extension cable, attach the jumpers back at pin 5-6, and pin 9-10 (default setting). Pin 1 3 5 7 9 KV-85 Pin Assignment Audio Mic. Audio Mic.
Hardware Setup 2-11 (7). Serial ATA Connectors These connectors are provided to attach one Serial ATA device at each channel via Serial ATA cable.
2-12 Chapter 2 (8). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot This slot supports an optional AGP graphics card up to AGP 8X mode. ATTENTION: This motherboard does not support 3.3V AGP cards. Use only 1.5V or 0.8V AGP cards. (9). Internal Audio Connectors These connectors connect to the audio output of internal CD-ROM drive or add-on card.
Hardware Setup 2-13 (10). Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1 on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector. Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your system. NOTE: The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1 port and the floppy connector.
2-14 Chapter 2 (11). Back Panel Connectors • Mouse: Connects to PS/2 mouse. • Keyboard: Connects to PS/2 keyboard. • LPT1: Connects to printer or other devices that support this communication protocol. • COM1: Connects to external modem, mouse or other devices that support this communication protocol. • VGA1: Connects to monitor input. • LAN: Connects to Local Area Network.
BIOS Setup 3-1 Chapter 3. BIOS Setup This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM that you can update the BIOS utility. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This chapter explains the Setup Utility of BIOS utility.
3-2 Chapter 3 In the BIOS Setup main menu, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here.
