English 1-3 Installation of the CPU and Heatsink Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions: 1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. 2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU. 3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and heatsink. 4.
Fig.1 Before installing the heat sink, please first add an even layer of heat sink paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the heat sink components (Please refer to the heat sink manual for detailed installation instructions). Fig.2 Please connect the heat sink power connector to the CPU_FAN connector located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly function to prevent CPU overheating. The heat sink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat sink paste.
English Fig.1 The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. Fig.2 Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. Please refer to the recommended memory configuration table below before installing memory.

English 1/2) ATX_12V / ATX (Power Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make sure that all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its proper location on the motherboard and connect tightly. The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU.
The cooler fan power connector supplies a +12V power voltage via a 3-pin power connector and possesses a foolproof connection design. Most coolers are designed with color-coded power connector wires. A red power connector wire indicates a positive connection and requires a +12V power voltage. The black connector wire is the ground wire (GND). Please remember to connect the power to the cooler to prevent system overheating and failure.
English 5) FDD (FDD Connector) The FDD connector is used to connect the FDD cable while the other end of the cable connects to the FDD drive. The types of FDD drives supported are: 360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB and 2.88MB.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
English The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard. The Main Menu (For example: BIOS Ver. : E8) Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (as figure below) will appear on the screen. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Optimized Defaults indicates the value of the system parameters which the system would be in best performance configuration. Set Supervisor Password Change, set, or disable password. It allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. Set User Password Change, set, or disable password. It allows you to limit access to the system. Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value settings to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.

RAID Levels RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is achieved through data redundant operation, where if one drives fails, a mirrored copy of the data can be found on another drive. This can prevent data loss if the operating system fails or hangs. The individual disk drives in an array are called members.
English Please follow the steps below to construct a complete RAID array: 1) Have ready your hard drives for RAID construction. Note: To achieve best performance, it is recommended that the hard drives used are of similar make and storage capacity. 2) Please attach the hard drive connectors to their appropriate location on the motherboard ie. IDE, SCSI, or SATA. 3) Enter the motherboard BIOS and locate RAID setup (Please refer to the section on Integrated Peripherals).

English Installing the RAID drivers To install Windows 2000/XP onto a Serial ATA hard disk sucessfully, you need to install required driver for the SATA controller on your motherboard during OS installation. Without the driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, you have to copy the driver for the SATA controller on your motherboard from the motherboard driver CD to a floppy disk. See the instructions below about how to copy the driver.
