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 (75-200Mhz).
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 (JP8)
JP8 is a small 3-pin Header Connector that provides 12-Volt power for
CPU Cooling Fans. This is useful if your Fan provides this type of
connector, instead of the normal Molex-Type Power-Supply connector.
Pin-2 corresponds to the RED power lead as shown:
