Installing the Motherboard
This chapter describes how to setup the jumpers on the motherboard as well as how to install
the Processor and Cooler, Memory Modules, Power, IDE/SATA Hard Disk Drive or CD-
ROM, Floppy Disk Drive, Expansion Card and other optional devices. While doing the
installation, be careful in holding the components and following the installation procedures.
Refer to the motherboard image below for jumper location and the table for specified jumper
settings.
1. Check Jumper Settings
Setting

Jumper
To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to
enter the main BIOS setting page to
“
Load Optimized Defaults” and then
“
Save & Exit Setup”.
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. See different status of jumpers in following figures:
This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pin 1
and 2 are SHORT.
The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When
the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper
is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or
place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper
is OPEN.
