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: Pentium Pro CPUs require a fan to keep
them cool and prevent overheating.
Fans designed
specifically for the ZIF Socket 8 are recommended.
These fans provide a metal bracket that “snaps on” to
the tabs on the socket, holding the fan and CPU
firmly in place and preventing the CPU from working
loose during shipping.
Other Fans should be installed first before inserting the CPU
into its socket.
1.
Locate the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket 8. This socket supports Pentium Pro
CPUs (150-200Mhz).
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 marked with a white dot
on top of the CPU. Align this corner in the opposite direction of the lever as shown in
the figure above. Insert the CPU, hold it down, and close the lever until it locks into
place.
Connecting the CPU Cooling Fan (JP13)
JP13 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:
