Step 2.

Set Jumpers

This mainboard is jumperless!  The default jumper settings have been set for
the common usage standard of this mainboard.  Therefore, you do not need

to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as any of the

following cases:

1. Clear CMOS
2. Disable the onboard audio before installing an add-on sound card

For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you should not

change the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with

mainboard configuration procedures.  The factory-set default settings are
tuned for optimum system performance.  For the advanced users who wish to

customize their system, section 

3.2 Jumper Settings

 will provide the detailed

information on how to configure your mainboard manually.

Step 3

Install SDRAM System Memory

To install memory, insert SDRAM or VCM SDRAM memory module(s) in any

one, two or three DIMM banks.  Note that SDRAM modules are directional
and will not go in the DIMM slots unless they are properly oriented.  After the

module is fully inserted into the DIMM socket, lift the clips of both sides of the

DIMM bank to lock the module in place.
