3. HARDWARE SETUP 2) CPU External Frequency Selection (DIP_F Switches 1–5) This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM, and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the CPU’s Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). NOTE: To select the CPU external frequency using the DIP_F switches, the motherboard must be set to jumper mode.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3) USB Device Wake-up (3-pin USB01_PWR/USB23_PWR/USB45_PWR) These jumpers allow you to enable or disable the USB wake-up feature on the motherboard. Set all the three jumpers to ENABLED if you wish to use the USB devices to wake up the computer. This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 1A on the +5VSB lead. The default setting for all three jumpers is DISABLED . NOTES: 1.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 5) Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery. 0 1 0 1 0 1 3.

3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5 System Memory This motherboard supports both registered and unbuffered Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Four DDR DIMM sockets are available for 2.5V (power level) DDR Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) of 64, 128, 256, 512MB, or 1GB densities for a system memory configuration up to 4GB. WARNING! Make sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified DDR SDRAM speeds, otherwise, the computer will not boot.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5.2 Memory Installation WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. A 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM has a single notch near the center. The number of pins are different on either side of the notch so the module only fits in one direction. Insert a DDR DIMM into the DDR socket as shown. 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ® 104 Pins 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with dual Socket 370 for the Intel Pentium III Coppermine CPUs listed in 2.1.1 Specifications.

3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.6.1 CPU Installation Follow these steps to install a CPU. 1. Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard. 2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle. 3. H/W SETUP CPU Installation 3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket. 4. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7 Expansion Cards In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard has five PCI expansion slots to support these cards. Follow the steps in the next section when installing expansion cards. WARNING! Unplug the system power cord when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards. 3.7.1 Installing an Expansion Card ASUS CUV266-DLS User’s Manual 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

To enable these ports, see Onboard Serial Port 1 / Onboard Serial Port 2 in 4.4.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.8.2 Internal Connectors WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives. 3.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 3) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1 pin IDE1/IDE2) These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA/100/66 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/100/66 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 4) Wake-On-LAN Connector (3-pin WOL_CON) This connector connects to a LAN card with a Wake-On-LAN output. The connector powers up the system when a wakeup packet or signal is received through the LAN card. IMPORTANT: This feature requires that Wake On LAN or PCI Modem parameter is enabled (see 4.5.1 Power Up Control) and that your system has an ATX power supply with at least 720mA +5V standby power.
3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Two 68-pin Ultra 160 SCSI Connectors (SCSI-A, SCSI-B) This motherboard has two 68-pin Ultra 160 SCSI connectors; one for each of the two channels.
