Installing Hardware
Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure
that you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface-mount
resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan
scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the
mainboard or its components.
On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is
carelessly installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the
clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can
clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.

Before installing the Processor


This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and sys-
tem bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these set-
tings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the set-
tings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not
overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated
speed.

10
Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability
of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can
permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.

This mainboard has a Socket 478 processor socket. When choosing a pro-
cessor, 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


The following illustration shows CPU installation components:

Note: The pin-1 corner is marked with an arrow

Follow these instructions to install the CPU:


1. Install and secure the Retention Module on the mainboard.
2. Pull the CPU socket locking lever away from the socket to unhook it and raise
the locking lever to the upright position.
3. Match the corner on the
CPU marked with an arrow
with pin-1 on the CPU
socket (the corner with the
pinhole noticeably missing).
Insert the processor into the
socket. Do not use force.

11
4. Lower the heatsink over the CPU.
5. Lower the CPU cooling fan onto the heatsink.
6. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
7. Swing the locking lever down
and hook it under the latch on
the edge of the socket.

8. Snap the four retention legs of C o o lin g F a n


the cooling fan into place.

R e te n tio n M o d u le
9. Swing both lock levers on top of the cooling fan to their opposite sides to
secure the cooling fan on top of the heatsink.
10. Connect the CPU Cooling Fan
power cable to the CPUFAN
connector.

Note: CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of
CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also
vary.

12
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be standard or registered
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
The CPU supports 100MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs and DDRs can
synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over a 333 MHz system bus.
DDR SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100 MHz or 333 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.0 GBps and
2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.
DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered
DIMMs used by SDRAM.

Installation Procedure
You must install at least one memory
module in order to use the
mainboard, and you can only use
one of the both SDRAM and DDR
SDRAM at the same time.

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.


1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
2. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot:

seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the
edges of the DIMM.
5. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM


This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
and a CD-ROM drive.

About IDE Devices


Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-
board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. When installing two
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains
how to do this.

About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 66/100. UDMA is a technology that accel-
erates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize perform-
ance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables that
support UDMA 66/100.

Note: If the mainboard incorporates the SiS961B or SiS962 Southbridge chipset,


the Ultra DMA bus mastering can support up to 133 MB/sec transfer rate.
For SiS961 Southbridge chipset, the transfer rate can support up to
100MB/sec only.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive


1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.

Using BIOS

About the Setup Utility


The computer uses the latest AMI BIOS with support for Windows Plug and
Play. The CMOS chip on the mainboard contains the ROM setup instructions
for configuring the mainboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's
configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters.
The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this
information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on,
the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
• Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
• Video display type and display options
• Password protection from unauthorized use
• Power management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Be-
fore using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility op-
tions.
This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

The Standard Configuration


A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However,
we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any
changes in the future.
This Setup Utility should be used:
• when changing the system configuration
• when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to
make changes to the Setup Utility
• when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts
• when making changes to the Power Management configuration
• when changing the password or making other changes to the
Security Setup
Running the Setup Utility
Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a mes-
sage appears on the screen that prompts you to “Hit <DEL> if you want to run
SETUP”. When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main
menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.

Using the Mainboard Software

About the Software CD-ROM


The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard package
contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the
bundled products. Below you can find a brief description of each software pro-
gram, and the location for your mainboard version. More information on some
programs is available in a README file, located in the same directory as the
software.
Note: Never try to install software from a folder that is not specified for use with
your mainboard.
Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named
README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain
important information that is not included in this manual

Auto-installing under Windows 98


The Auto-install CD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and soft-
ware for your mainboard.
Note: If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still
install drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows
Explorer). Refer to Utility Folder Installation Notes later in this chapter.
