Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Installing the Processor This motherboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing a processor, 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. CPU Installation Procedure Follow these instructions to install the CPU: pin1 1 CPUFAN Socket-478 1.
Motherboard User’s Guide Installing Memory Modules This motherboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets, and supports up to 2.0 GB of 333(845GV)/266/200 MHz DDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM is a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle (the rising and falling edges), effectively doubling the memory chip’s data throughput.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Memory Module Installation Procedure These modules can be installed with up to 2 GB system memory. Refer to the following to install the memory module. 1. 2. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM socket. Align the memory module with the socket. There is a notch on the DIMM socket that you can install the DIMM module in the correct direction. Match the cutout on the DIMM module with the notch on the DIMM socket. 3.
Motherboard User’s Guide Jumper Settings Connecting two pins with a jumper cap is SHORT; removing a jumper cap from these pins, OPEN. 1 JP2 JP2: Clear CMOS Jumper Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect and prevent your motherboard from operating. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables from the motherboard and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Install the Motherboard Install the motherboard in a system chassis (case). The board is a Micro-ATX size motherboard.

Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Install Other Devices Install and connect any other devices in the system following the steps below. IDE2 IDE1 1 1 FLOPPY 1 Floppy Disk Drive The motherboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5" or 5.25" wide, with capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB. Install your drives and connect power from the system power supply.
Motherboard User’s Guide IDE Devices IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives, and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others. The motherboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or two IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable, you must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the drives as Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you how to configure the device as a Master or Slave device.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Analog Audio Input Header If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you can connect the drive audio cable to the onboard sound system. 1 CD1 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. On the motherboard, locate the 4-pin header CD1.
Motherboard User’s Guide Expansion Slots This motherboard has one AGPro, one CNR and three 32-bit PCI slots. AGP1 PCI1 PCI2 PCI3 CNR1 Follow the steps below to install a CNR/PCI expansion card. 1. Locate the CNR or PCI slots on the motherboard. 2. Remove the slot cover for this slot from the system chassis. 3. Insert the expansion card edge connector into the slot and press it firmly down into it so that it is fully inserted. 4. Secure the expansion card bracket to the system chassis with a screw.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Note: If the AGP card is already installed, the computer won’t auto setup the onbaord VGA driver.
Motherboard User’s Guide Once the AGP card is completely installed under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the sign like this “? Video Controller” will pop up below the “Device Manager” as the following picture shows. It is normal to see the sign as the onboard VGA card is “Disabled”. Therefore, users don’t have to worry about this point. Note: To install the system with an add-on AGP card, you must make sure to install the driver of add-on AGP card before you install the onboard VGA driver.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation PCI Slot You can install the 32-bit PCI interface expansion cards in the slots. CNR Slot This slot is used to insert CNR (Communications and Networking Riser) cards including LAN, Modem, and Audio functions. Dual Monitor In order to enable “Dual Monitor” Function, users must have “Two Monitors”, “Two Graphics Devices” (one is for AGP graphics card; the other one is for onboard VGA) and Windows 2000 or Windows XP that supports the Dual Monitor Function.
Motherboard User’s Guide Step 2: Install the Add-on AGP Card Shut down the system Install the add-on AGP card in the AGPro slot Turn on the computer Note: When you turn on the system, windows might report Found New Hardware Wizard, “Video Controller(VGA Compatible)” or “Video Controller”. When you see the Found New Hardware Wizard dialogue box, DO NOT insert any disk in your CD/DVD-ROM before clicking on the “Next” button.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Step 5: Right click the desktop. Select “Properties” See the picture below: Step 6: Select “Display Properties” Click “Settings” Then the parameters of the two monitors can be adjusted.
Motherboard User’s Guide Dual Monitor Installation (For Windows 2000) If the onboard VGA is first installed, and you would like to use the add-on AGP card. Please follow the installation steps 1-6. Users may go to step 4 directly if the add-on AGP card is installed first and then turned on the onboard VGA devices for “secondary display”.
Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation Step 4: Install the Onboard VGA Driver Install the onboard VGA driver from our support CD to utilize Dual Monitor Function. Here is the Driver Path: CD-ROM:\VGA\Intel845g\WIN2K&XP\Graphics\Setup.exe Restart the computer Note: If the add-on AGP card driver and onboard VGA drivers are installed, the dual-monitor display will be enabled.
