Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To
avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü
Don’t remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it into a computer case.
ü
Before you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-
up static electricity.
ü
Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting bracket.
Installing the CPU
ü
WARNING: Use of a CPU Cooling Fan to prevent CPU overheating is highly
recommended. The Fan should be installed first before
inserting the CPU into its socket.
1. Locate the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 7. This
socket supports Pentium (P5) CPUs (75-233Mhz).
2. First open the socket by pulling the lever sideways,
then upwards. Notice how the lever locks in place
when pressed all the way down.
3. The CPU must be inserted with the correct orientation.
One corner of the CPU has a “notch” and looks
different that the other three. This corner is also
missing a pin unlike the other three and is marked with
a white dot on top of the CPU. Align this corner towards the end of the lever as shown
in the figure below. Insert the CPU, hold it down, and close the lever until it locks into
place.
Connecting the CPU Cooling Fan (J17, J18)
J17 and J18 are small 3-pin Header Connectors that provide 12-Volt power for
CPU Cooling Fans. Choose the one convenient to your installation.
This mainboard features a fan monitoring function to alert you when the
cooling fan starts to malfunction (Refer to page 30). If you are using a fan with
the standard 4-pin Molex-Type Power-Supply connector, you should use the
fan adaptive cable provided as shown:
