English 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.

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Set system Switch (SW1) Step 2- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 3- Install memory modules Step 4- Install expansion cards Step 5- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 4 Step 1 Step 2 Step 4 Step 4 Step 3 FS English Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process Congratulations you have accomplished the hardware installation! Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet.
Step1-1: CPU Speed Setup The system bus frequency can be switched at 100/133/166/200MHz by adjusting system switch FS (SW1). (The internal frequency depend on CPU.) O: ON / X :OFF 1 SW1 Default Setting: 100MHz ON SW1 CPU CLOCK 1 100MHz ON 100MHz : Fix FSB 200MHz CPU Auto : Support FSB 266/333/400 MHz CPU You must set SW1 to 100MHz when Auto OFF you used FSB 200MHz CPU.
English Step1-2: CPU Installation Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning: 1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 2.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. CPU Top View CPU Bottom View Socket Actuation Lever Pin1 indicator 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning: 1. Please use AMD approved cooling fan. 2. We recommend you to apply the thermal paste to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and Cooling Fan. 3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes the installation. Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure. 2. Use qualified fan approved by AMD. 1.
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. When RAM_LED is ON, do not install / remove DIMM from socket. 2. 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 Slot.
English 1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
English Step 3: Install expansion cards 1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer. 2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer. 3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard. 4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot. 5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card. 6. Replace your computer's chassis cover. 7.
