Specifications

•OnboardAudio: HardwareAC’97 V2.1 CODEC compliant, Crystal’s 3D sound

circuitry, sample rate conversion from 7kHz to 48kHz.

1.1.2 Performance

• 100MHz/ 100MHzand 133MHz/133MHzSynchronousHost/DRAMClock

Support: CPU frequency can operate at 133MHz while system memory

operates at 133MHz.

•Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-

ter buses to memory to CPU.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports Synchronous

Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which increases the data transfer

rate of 800MB/s max using PC133-compliant SDRAMs.

• ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) provides

more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS

Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-

mented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy

saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS,

such as Windows 98, must be used.

• New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meets

PC 99 compliancy. The new PC 99 requirements for systems and components are

based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and Play compatibility

and power management for configuring and managing all system components,

and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/

2000/XP.

1.1.3 Intelligence

• Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system

damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM

and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

• Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer with this mother-

board to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem. With this

feature, users can access their computer from anywhere in the world!

2. HARDWARE SETUP

2.3 Hardware Setup Procedure

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

•Check Motherboard Settings

•Install Memory Modules

•Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

•Install Expansion Cards

•Connect Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires, and Power Supply

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Inte-

grated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you

should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or

other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the compo-

nent whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the

ATX power connector on the motherboard.

2.4 System Memory (DIMM)

NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are

available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-

cess Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128MB, 256 or 512MB to form a memory size

between 16MB and 1GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one

row on the motherboard.

To use the chipset’s Error Checking and Correction (ECC) feature, you must use a

DIMM with 9 chips per side (standard 8 chips/side + 1 ECC chip).

Install memory in any combination as follows:

Location 168-pin DIMM Total Memory

DIMM1 (Rows 0&1) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1

DIMM2 (Rows 2&3) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1

Total System Memory (Max 1GB) =

2.5.1 General DIMM Notes

•This motherboard supports SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the

memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.

•This motherboard does NOT support registered memory.

•SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Ex-

tended Data Output) chips.

•Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32,

64, 128, 256, 512MB.

•For optimum signal integrity, inserting the DIMMs in the following order is

recommended: DIMM1, DIMM2.

•SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current PC133/PC100 SDRAM

specification.

2. HARDWARE SETUP

2.4.2 DIMM Memory Installation

Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either

side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation shown. DIMM mod-

ules are longer and have different pin contact on each side and therefore have a

higher pin density. SIMM modules have the same pin contact on both sides.

The notches on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or right to identify

the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot

on the motherboard. You must ask your retailer the correct DIMM type before pur-

chasing. This motherboard supports four clock signals.

1. Locate the Socket 462 and open it by pulling

thelever gentlysideways away from the socket.

Then lift the lever upwards. The socket lever

must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees).

2. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation.The

notched corner of the CPU must be oriented

toward the inner corner of the socket base

nearest to the lever hinge.

CAUTION! The CPU fits in one orientation

and should drop easily into place. Do not force

the CPU into the socket to avoid bending the

pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its

alignment and look for bent pins.

3. Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it

snaps into its locked position.

4. Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink should entirely cover

the CPU. Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the

socket base. With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace,

no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place.

CAUTION! Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a

clamp-style processor fan, or else damage may occur. When mounting a heatsink

onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the

heatsink, or else damage may occur! Refer to heatsink/CPU documentation.

NOTE! Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (available

only on unlocked processors) to avoid start-up problems.

2.5 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a Socket 462 or SocketAfor CPU installation.Afan and

heatsink should be attached to the CPU to prevent overheating. Purchase and install

a fan and heatsink before turning on the system.

2.6 Expansion Cards

WARNING!Unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion

cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to

both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2.6.1 PCI Expansion Card Installation Procedure

1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hard-

ware or software settings for your expansion card, such as jumpers.

2. Remove your computer system’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you

intend to use. Keep the bracket for possible future use.

3. Carefully align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

5. Replace the computer system’s cover.

6. Set up the BIOS if necessary

7. Install the necessary software drivers for your expansion card.

2.6.2 Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclu-

sively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but

most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your

motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your moth-

erboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.
