5 are matched. 
7. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If 
not, take out the CPU with pure vertical motion and reinstall. 8. Cover the load plate onto the package.  
9. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate, and 
then secure the lever with the hook under retention tab. 
10. Align the holes on the mainboard with the cooler. Push down 
the cooler until its four clips get wedged into the holes of the 
mainboard. 
11. Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. Then rotate 
the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it) 
to lock the hooks. 
12. Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are 
correctly inserted.    Important: Read the CPU status in BIOS. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered to avoid damaging. Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase. 
Installing Memory Modules 
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right 
orientation. 
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the 
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. You can 
barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM 
slot. 
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close. VoltNotch 
 Important:  DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots. Under Vista Series OS, memory module of 1GB (or above) is highly recommended

6 ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: CONN1 
This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. 
To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, make sure the plug of the 
power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are 
aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the 
connector. 
You may use the 20-pin ATX power supply as you like. If you like to 
use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug your power supply 
along with pin 1 & pin 13 (refer to the image at the right hand).

Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for system stability. ATX 12V power connection should be greater than 18A. 
Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1 
This connector supports 360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB or 2.88MB floppy 
disk drive.  
IDE Connector: IDE1 
This connector supports IDE hard disk drives, optical disk drives and other 
IDE devices. Important: If you install two IDE devices on the same cable, you must configure the drives to cable select mode or separately to master / slave mode by setting jumpers. Refer to IDE device documentation supplied by the vendors for jumper setting instructions.  
Serial ATA Connector: SATA1 
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector 
can connect to one Serial ATA device. Important: Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data loss may occur during transmission.

7 Fan Power Connectors: CPU_FAN1, 
SYS_FAN1 
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When 
connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the 
positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground 
and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System 
Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan 
with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. GND+12VSensorControlGND+12V Sensor Chassis Intrusion Connector: JC1 
This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the 
chassis is opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. 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. CINTRUGND21 CD-In Connector: JCD1

Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1 
There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply 
from an external battery to keep the data of system 
configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can 
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want 
to clear the system configuration, set the jumper to clear 
data. Keep DataClear Data222111333 PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com 
						

							 
8 Important: You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard. 
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slot  
The PCI slot supports LAN card, SCSI card, USB card, and other add-on cards that 
comply with PCI specifications. Important: When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to configure any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration. 
PCI Interrupt Request Routing 
The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over 
which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are 
typically connected to the PCI bus pins as follows:

Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency 
When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI 
slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). 
Memory/ NB Voltage 
These items allow you to adjust the Memory/North Bridge voltage. Adjusting the voltage can 
increase the speed. Any changes made to this setting may cause a stability issue, so 
changing the voltage for long-term purpose is NOT recommended. 
Spread Spectrum 
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses 
create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI 
generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter 
curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system 
stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for EMI reduction. 
Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter 
can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked 
processor to lock up. Important: If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.  The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
