Hardware Setup Chapter 2. Hardware Setup 2 Hardware Setup This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components.
Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel® Pentium III processors. The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 370 for easy CPU installation. You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s): z If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket. CPU1 z To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs running at the same FSB frequency.
Hardware Setup CPU Installation Procedures Open Lever 1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Sliding Plate 2. Look for the gold arrow. Gold Arrow The gold arrow should point towards the end of lever. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation. Close Lever 3. Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.
Chapter 2 CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure If CPU Clock Core/Bus ratio then CPU core speed WARNING! = = = = = 100MHz 7 Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio 100MHz x 7 700MHz Overclocking This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended.
Hardware Setup Memory The mainboard provides 4 sockets for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double InLine Memory Module) modules and supports a maximum memory size of 4GB. DDR DIMM Slots (DIMM 1~4) Introduction to DDR SDRAM You can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4). DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transfering data twice per cycle. It transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.
Chapter 2 DIMM Modules Combination At least one DIMM module should be installed on the motherboard. Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order.
Hardware Setup Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.

IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector) - The first hard disk drive should always be connected to IDE1. You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE1.
Chapter 2 IDE RAID Connectors: IDE3 & IDE4 (Pro266TD Master-LR) The mainboard offers a low-cost RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) solution by integrating two IDE RAID connectors that support PIO mode 0-4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 modes. The IDE RAID connectors allow you to connect Ultra ATA/DMA hard disks and use RAID technology for high performance, data security and fault tolerance. The connectors support RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring).
Hardware Setup Case Connector: JFP1 The case connector block JFP1 allows you to connect to the Power Switch, Reset Switch, Speaker, Power LED, Keylock and HDD LED on the case. Buzzer (short pin) Speaker Reset Switch 14 15 Keylock + + HDD LED Power LED Power Switch JFP1 Power Switch Connect to a 2-pin push button switch. The switch has the same feature as JRMS1. Reset Switch Reset switch is used to reboot the system rather than turning the power ON/ OFF. Avoid rebooting while the HDD is working.
Chapter 2 HDDLED HDD LED shows the activity of a hard disk drive connected to the IDE1, IDE2, IDE3 or IDE4 connector. Avoid turning the power off while the HDD is working. You can connect the HDD LED from the system case to this pin. Keylock Keylock allows you to disable the keyboard for security purpose. You can connect the keylock to this connector.
Hardware Setup Power Saving LED Connector: JGL1 JGL1 is connected to a power saving LED. There are three types of LED that you can use: 3-pin/2-pin dual color or 2-pin single color LED. If connected to a dual color LED, the LED light is green when system in turned on, and turns to orange color while entering the suspend/sleep state. For the single color LED, the LED is lit when system is on, and blinks during the suspend/sleep state.
Chapter 2 Chassis Intrusion Switch Connector: JCASE1 This connector is connected to a 2-pin chassis switch. If the chassis is opened, the switch will be short. The system will record this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record. JCASE1 Power Saving Switch Connector: JGS1 Attach a power saving switch to this connector. Pressing the switch once will have the system enter the sleep/suspend state.
