Pre-Installation Inspection
1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
about those damages.

Notice:
1. Owing to Microsofts certifying schedule is various to every
supplier, we might have some drivers not certified yet by
Microsoft. Therefore, it might happen under Windows XP that a
dialogue box (shown as below) pop out warning you this
software has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its
compatibility with Windows XP. Please rest assured that our RD
department has already tested and verified these drivers. Just

Installation Procedure
The mainboard accommodates two types of memory modules. You
must install at least one module in any of these sockets. You can
install each module up to 2GB system memory.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM
socket.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. There is
a notch on the DIMM socket that you can install the
DIMM module in the correct direction. Match the
cutout on the DIMM module with the notch on the
DIMM socket.
3. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press
it firmly down until it is seated correctly. The
socket latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the edges of the DIMM.
4. Install any remaining DIMM modules.

BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your
computer, such as date and time, the type of hardware installed,
and various configuration settings. Your computer applies those
information to initialize all the components when booting up and
basic functions of coordination between system components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the
system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer booting
properly. If it happens, you can use the clear CMOS jumper to
clear the CMOS memory which has stored the configuration
information; or you can hold down the Page Up key while
rebooting your computer. Holding down the Page Up key also
clears the setup information.
You can run the setup utility and manually change the
configuration. You might need to do this to configure some
hardware installed in or connected to the mainboard, such as the
CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.

Software & Applications
Introduction
This chapter describes the contents of the support CD-ROM that
comes with the mainboard package.
The support CD-ROM contains all useful software, necessary
drivers and utility programs to properly run our products. More
program information is available in a README file, located in the
same directory as the software.
To run the support CD, simply insert the CD into your CD-ROM
drive. An Auto Setup screen automatically pops out, and then you
can go on the auto-installing or manual installation depending on
your operating system.
If your operating system is Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, it will
automatically install all the drivers and utilities for your mainboard;
if Windows NT or manual installation, please follow the
instructions described as the Installing under Windows NT or
Manual Installation section.
