Installing the Motherboard

Safety Precautions

• Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid dam-

age from static electricity

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely

grounded object before working on the motherboard

• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards

Choosing a Computer Case

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The motherboard complies

with the specifications for the Micro ATX system case. First, some features on the

motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indica-

tors and switches on the system case. Make sure that your case supports all the

features required. Secondly, this motherboard supports two enhanced IDE drives.

Make sure that your case has sufficient power and space for all drives that you intend

to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that the I/O

template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the

motherboard.

This motherboard carries a Micro ATX form factor of 225 x 170 mm. Choose a case

that accommodates this form factor.

Installing the Motherboard in a Case

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the motherboard in

a case.

Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case, which correspond

the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets

and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion

slots on your motherboard.

Installing the Motherboard

Checking Jumper Settings

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard.

Setting Jumpers

Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with

more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper

caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper.

When the jumper cap is placed on both

pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you re-

move the jumper cap, or place the jumper

cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper.

Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

SHORT OPEN

Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.

2. Make sure the power supply provides enough 5VSB voltage before se-

lecting the 5VSB function.

3. It is required that users place the USBPWR_F & USBPWR_R cap onto

2-3 pin rather than 1-2 pin as default if you want to wake up the com-

puter by USB/PS2 KB/Mouse.

Installing the Motherboard

Installing Hardware

Installing the Processor

Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure

that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-

mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling

fan scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage

to the motherboard or its components.

On most motherboards, 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 motherboard and processor socket.

Before installing the Processor

This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus

frequency for the processor. You may be able to change the settings in the system

Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not over-clock processors or

other components to run faster than their rated speed.

This motherboard has an LGA775 socket. When choosing a processor, 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.

2. Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from

the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or

other hardware components.

Warning:

1. Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the

system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can per-

manently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in com-

ponents that are run beyond the rated limits.

Fail-Safe Procedures for Over-clocking

When end-users encounter failure after attempting over-clocking, please take the

following steps to recover from it.

1. Shut down the computer.

2. Press and hold the “Page Up Key (PgUp)” of the keyboard, and then boot the PC

up.

3. Two seconds after the PC boots up, release the “Page Up Key (PgUp)”.

4. The BIOS returns to the default setting by itself.

Installing the Motherboard

Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM/SATA Hard Drive

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

ROM drive.

About IDE Devices

Your motherboard has one IDE channel interface.

IDE: IDE Connector

This motherboard supports two high data transfer SATA ports with each runs up to

3.0 Gb/s. To get better system performance, we recommend users connect the CD-

ROM to the IDE channel, and set up the hard drives on the SATA ports.

IDE devices enclose jumpers or switches used to set the IDE device as MASTER or

SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. 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 SATA Connectors

Your motherboard features two SATA connectors supporting a total of two drives.

SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard inter-

face for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs. These connectors

are well designed and will only fit in one orientation. Locate the SATA connectors on

the motherboard and follow the illustration below to install the SATA hard drives.

Installing Serial ATA Hard Drives

To install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, use the SATA cable that supports the

Serial ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with an SATA power cable. You can

connect either end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or the connector on the

motherboard.

CASE: Chassis intrusion detect header

This detects if the chassis cover has been removed. This function needs a chassis

equipped with instrusion detection switch and needs to be enabled in BIOS.

Pin 1-2 Function

Short Chassis cover is removed

Open Chassis cover is closed

Installing the Motherboard

Refer to the illustration below for proper installation:

1 Attach either cable end to the connector on the motherboard.

2 Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard drive.

3 Attach the SATA power cable to the SATA hard drive and connect the

other end to the power supply.

SATA cable (optional) SATA power cable (optional)

Installing the Motherboard

Connecting I/O Devices

The backplane of the motherboard has the following I/O ports:

PS2 Mouse Use the upper PS/2 port to connect a PS/2 pointing device.

PS2 Keyboard Use the lower PS/2 port to connect a PS/2 keyboard.

LAN Port Connect an RJ-45 jack to the LAN port to connect your

computer to the Network.

USB Ports Use the USB ports to connect USB devices.

Audio Ports

VGA Port Connect your monitor to the VGA port.

Use the three audio ports to connect audio devices. The

first jack is for stereo line-in signal. The second jack is for

stereo line-out signal. The third jack is for microphone.

Installing the Motherboard

Power/Sleep/Message waiting LED

Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single or dual-color, front panel mounted LED provides

power on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication.

Front Panel Header

The front panel header (F_PANEL) provides a standard set of switch and LED headers

commonly found on ATX or micro-ATX cases. Refer to the table below for informa-

tion:

* MSG LED (dual color or single color)

Hard Drive Activity LED

Connecting pins 1 and 3 to a front panel mounted LED provides visual indication that

data is being read from or written to the hard drive. For the LED to function properly,

an IDE drive should be connected to the onboard IDE interface. The LED will also

show activity for devices connected to the SCSI (hard drive activity LED) connector.

Power Switch

Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momen-

tary-contact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain contact for at

least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The time requirement is

due to internal de-bounce circuitry. After receiving a power on/off signal, at least two

seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on/off signal.

Reset Switch

Supporting the reset function requires connecting pins 5 and 7 to a momentary-

contact switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board resets and

runs POST.

Using BIOS

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the latest “American Megatrends Inc. ” BIOS with support for

Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM

setup instructions for configuring the motherboard 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. Before

using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.

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.

• 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

Entering the Setup Utility

When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST)

routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the

POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

About the Software DVD-ROM/CD-ROM

The support software DVD-ROM/CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard

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 program,

and the location for your motherboard version. More information on some pro-

grams is available in a README file, located in the same directory as the software.

Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named README.TXT

or something similar. These files may contain important information that is not

included in this manual.

Never try to install all software from folder that is not specified for use with

your motherboard.

The notice of Intel HD audio installation (optional): The Intel High Defi-

nition audio functionality unexpectedly quits working in Windows Server

2003 Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Users need

automatically detects your operating system before installation. Other drivers have

the setup program located in the operating system subfolder.

operating system subfolder and locate the readme text file (README.TXT or

README.DOC) for information on installing the driver or software for your oper-

ating system.

Trouble Shooting

Start up problems during assembly

After assembling the PC for the first time you may experience some start up

problems. Before calling for technical support or returning for warranty, this chapter

may help to address some of the common questions using some basic troubleshooting

tips.

a) System does not power up and the fans are not running.

1.Disassemble the PC to remove the VGA adaptor card, DDR memory, LAN, USB

and other peripherals including keyboard and mouse. Leave only the motherboard,

CPU with CPU cooler and power supply connected. Turn on again to see if the

CPU and power supply fans are running.

2. Make sure to remove any unused screws or other metal objects such as screwdrivers

from the inside PC case. This is to prevent damage from short circuit.

3. Check the CPU FAN connector is connected to the motherboard.

4. For Intel platforms check the pins on the CPU socket for damage or bent. A bent

pin may cause failure to boot and sometimes permanent damage from short circuit.

5. Check the 12V power connector is connected to the motherboard.

6. Check that the 12V power & ATX connectors are fully inserted into the

motherboard connectors. Make sure the latches of the cable and connector are

locked into place.

b) Power is on, fans are running but there is no display

1. Make sure the monitor is turned on and the monitor cable is properly connected

to the PC.

2. Check the VGA adapter card (if applicable) is inserted properly.

3. Listen for beep sounds. If you are using internal PC speaker make sure it is

connected.

a. continuous 3 short beeps : memory not detected

b. 1 long beep and 8 short beeps : VGA not detected
