Page 1090-A815E1-A2-00 7 Quick Steps Please follow these steps in order to assure that your series of Mainboard installation is successful. Please refer to the back chapters for further information regarding boot-up and configurations. An anti-static wrist band is recommended when handling electronic components, be sure your work area is static free before you begin this section. Page 11 Mainboard User's Manual The Mainboard provides a 370 pins, Socket 370. The CPU should have a fan attached to prevent overheating. If a fan is not present, user should purchase a fan prior to turning on the system. The recommended heatsinks for the Socket 370 processor are those with three-pin fans that can be connected to the fan connectors on the Mainboard. It provides the +12 Volts DC for your CPU cooling fan. Installing the CPU 7 Quick Steps CAUTION! Be sure that sufficient air circulation must be available across the processor’s heatsink. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the mainboard. You may install an auxiliary fan if necessary. Mainboard User's ManualPage 12 7 Quick Steps Page 13 Mainboard User's Manual After you have set the DIMM firmly into its socket, snap the white chip holders up to lock in the DIMM. Installing the Memory Memory is installed in DIMM Sockets 1-3 (F Mainboard in diagram) as follows : Mainboard User's ManualPage 14 ATX Power Supply Connector (20-pin ATXPWR) The single 20-pin connector (B in mainboard diagram) incorporates standard +/-5V and +/-12V, with a standby 5V. With a power supply that supports remote power on/off, the mainboard can turn off the system power through the software control, such as the shutdown in Windows 95 Start Menu. The BIOS system will turn the system power off when it receives the proper APM command from the OS. APM must be enabled in the BIOS and OS systems in order for the soft-off feature to work properly. Attaching the power supply wire IMPORTANT: Wire should always be connected with the red stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connector's are labeled on the mainboard. ATX Power Connector Attaching ATX Power Supply. 7 Quick Steps Page 15 Mainboard User's Manual Floppy Disk Drive Connector (34-pin FLOPPY). This is a 34-pin connector that supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the on-board “FLOPPY” connector, (O in mainboard diagram) connect the remaining plugs on the other end to the corresponding floppy drives. IDE Device Connector. The on-board IDE connectors (P in mainboard diagram) support the provided 40/80-pin IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the mainboard, connect the remaining plugs at the other end of your hard disk(s). If you install hard disks, you must configure the drives by setting its jumpers according to the documentation of your hard disk. Also, you may connect the hard disk drives so that both become Masters, using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE- connector, and the other on the secondary IDE connector. NOTE: For the flat ribbon cable connection, please make sure that the pin 1 of the ribbon cable (the red wire side of the cable) is correctly connected to the on-board connector's pin 1 as shown on the “mainboard diagram”. Floppy connection IDE connection Mainboard User's ManualPage 16 Mounting Mainboard to chassis Snap black mounting pins onto the mainboard as shown. Carefully install the mainboard into the computer chassis and align the corresponding mounting holes on the mainboard with the holes on you chassis. While chassis design varies you may need to refer to the chassis manual for the mainboard mounting area. Insert white pins through the chassis and through the mounting holes on the mainboard into the black pin making sure they are snapped fully into place. Black mounting pin Insert into chassis Insert white mounting pin 7 Quick Steps Page 17 Mainboard User's Manual PCI Board Installation Installing Add-in Boards First read your expansion card documentation for hardware and software settings that may be required to set up your specific card. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card and remove the cover plate on your computer case at the slot you intend to use. Keep the plate for possible future use. Carefully align the card's connector and press firmly. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed from the cover plate. Mainboard User's ManualPage 18 I/O connectors aligned with openings Make sure to align rear external I/O connector's with the corresponding openings in chassis shown below (A,C & G in mainboard diagram) You can now attach the Front Panel Function Connector (M in mainboard diagram) wires and Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor cables to the appropriate ports. Connect the main power cable and boot your system. Press the DEL key when prompted and continue BIOS configurations discussed in the next chapter.

Norton Anti-Virus OEM Version Setup Guide Step 1 : Load the Driver CD in CDROM and find the "Norton AntiVirus 2001 Install" Option. Step 2 : When CD finishes loading, press " Install Norton AntiVirus" to install the software. Mainboard User's ManualPage 50 Norton Anti-Virus Setup Guide Step 3 : Follow the installation procedures on screen. Step 4 : Select "Yes" and press "Finish" button to reboot computer. Page 51 Mainboard User's Manual Guide Introduce INSTANT ON function: INSTANT ON is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During sleep mode, your system uses only enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively. INSTANT ON function Installation Please follow the steps to complete the INSTANT ON function installation. There are two ways : 1. Setup with Windows 98 CD: A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run. B. Type (without quotes) “D:\setup /p j” in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK. C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system (This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:). For using the INSTANT ON function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode. Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy. Mainboard User's ManualPage 52 INSTANT ON GUIDE A. When Windows 98 finishes loading, open the “Control Panel” in Windows 98 “My Computer” area. B. Double click the “System” item. C. Select the “Device Manager” tab and then the “System Devices” item. Double click the “Plug and Play BIOS” item or select “Properties” 2. Update from Windows98 (Advance Power Management) APM mode: If your Windows 98 system is in APM mode, please follow the steps to update your system to ACPI mode. Page 53 Mainboard User's Manual D.
