Hardware Setup 2. Hardware Setup In this chapter we will elaborate all the information you need upon installing this motherboard to your computer system. ※ Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully checked everything. 2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis This motherboard carries a Mic

To install this motherboard: 1. Locate all the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis base. 2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened. 3. Face the motherboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel. 4. Line up all the motherboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis. 5. Install the motherboard with screws and have them tightened. ※ To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers

Hardware Setup 2.3.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d) whenever there is modification on the CPU or memory modules. This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it reconfigured to the defau

CMOS Backup Battery: An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to be renewed. To renew the backup battery: 1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source. 2. Re

Hardware Setup 2.3.2 Wake-up Headers These headers use a jumper cap to enable/disable the wake-up function. USB-PWR1: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at USB1 port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at USB1 port. USB-PWR2: Pin 1-2 shorted (default): Disable wake-up function support at USB2 port. Pin 2-3 shorted: Enable wake-up function support at USB2 port iL-90MV 2-5

2.4 Connecting Chassis Components 2.4.1 ATX Power Connectors These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these connectors. ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: The power supply with 20-pin or 24-pin cables can both be connected to this 24-pin connector. Connect from pin-1 for either type. However, a 20-pin power supply may cause the system unstable or even un

Hardware Setup 2.4.2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention to connect these headers. A wrong orientation will only cause the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.

Hardware Setup 2.5 Installing Hardware ※ DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidentally scratch of a tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the motherboard. 2.5.1 CPU Socket 478 (Core Duo) ※ Be cautious when installing CPU into this socket. Prevent the contact pins of the socket and the CPU from breaking or bending. 1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the screw bolt counter clockwise to unlock position. 2. Carefully hold the CPU by both of

4. Peel off the protective film from the retention module. This will expose the adhesive sponge. 5. Face the retention module with the side of adhesive sponge toward the bottom side of the motherboard. Align the four screw holes from the retention module through the motherboard. 6. Peel off the protecting film that was originally attached to the bottom of CPU heatsink. This film prevents the thermal paste from being touched by anything but the CPU die, and so it has to be remo

Hardware Setup 7. Carefully place the heatsink onto CPU socket in the direction of blowing its airflow toward rear panel. Use a cross-head screw driver to lock the four screws around the heatsink. 8. Lock the screws diagonally in the order of (1) (2) (3) (4). Turn the screw halfway down the screw hole. Do not over-tighten the screw all the way down into the screw hole one at a time. Avoid CPU damage caused by unbalanced forcing. 9. Plug the fan power connector from
