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 Pentium® 4 CPU and Heatsink Supporting-Base This motherboard provides a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 478 to install Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan along with. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Pentium® 4 Socket 478. 1. Locate the Socket 478. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base onto the motherboard.
Hardware Setup 2-3 2-3. Install System Memory This motherboard provides two 232-pin 32-bit RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Modules) slots for PC1200/PC1066/PC800 Direct RDRAM. ATTENTION: The PC1066 RIMM modules require CPU of 533MHz FSB only. Do not use PC1066 modules with CPU of 400MHz FSB. Table 2-1.
2-4 Chapter 2 The diagram below shows the possible combination of RDRAM installation. NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup required after adding or removing memory modules. ATTENTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. 1.
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 (2). Chapter 2 FAN Connectors [CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1, AUXFAN1] 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 • SYSFAN1: System Fan • AUXFAN1: Auxiliary Fan WARNING: These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors.
Hardware Setup (3). 2-7 CMOS Memory Clearing Header [CCMOS1] 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 Audio Connection Header [FP-AUDIO1] This header provides the connection to audio connector at front panel (with optional ABIT Media XP). • 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).
Hardware Setup (5). 2-9 Additional USB Port Headers [FP-USB1, FP-USB2] 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). Additional IEEE1394 Port Headers [FP-1394-1, FP-1394-2] These headers each provide 1 additional IEEE1394 port connection through an extension cable and bracket.
Hardware Setup (7). 2-11 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers [FPIO1] This header is 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.
2-12 (8). Chapter 2 System Management Bus Header [SMB1] This header is reserved for system management bus (SM bus). The SM bus is a specific implementation of an I2C bus. I2C is a multi-master bus, which means that multiple chips can be connected to the same bus and each one can act as a master by initiating a data transfer. If more than one master simultaneously tries to control the bus, an arbitration procedure decides which master gets priority. (9).
Hardware Setup 2-13 (10). Accelerated Graphics Port Slot [AGP1] This slot supports an optional AGP graphics card up to AGP 4X/8X mode. Please refer to our Web site for more information on graphics cards. ATTENTION: This motherboard does not support 3.3V AGP cards. Use only 1.5V or 0.8V AGP cards.

Hardware Setup 2-17 (14). POST Code Display [U32] This is an LED device to display the “POST” Code, the acronym of Power On Self Test. The computer will execute the POST action whenever you power on the computer. The POST process is controlled by the BIOS. It is used to detect the status of the computer’s main components and peripherals. Each POST Code corresponds to different checkpoints that are also defined by the BIOS in advance.
