Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors.

code is:
566/128/66/1.5V
566 : CPU internal frequency, where here is 566MHz
128 : the size of L2 cache, where here is 128K
66 : front side bus frequency, where here is 66MHz
1.5V : the voltage for the CPU

2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper

Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper JS1, JS2, JS3 and JS4 for the front side bus frequency and
SDRAM frequency setting as shown from the table below:
CPU/SDRAM (MHz) JS1 JS2 JS3 JS4
AUTO ON ON 1-2 1-2
66/100 (Default) OFF OFF 2-3 2-3
100/100 OFF OFF 1-2 2-3
133/100 OFF OFF 1-2 1-2
133/133 OFF OFF 2-3 1-2
Example: Using a Pentium III 866 CPU with front side bus frequency of 133MHz and
PC-133 SDRAM module, the setting of JS3 will be 2-3 and JS4 will be 1-2.
This sets both CPU BUS CLOCK and SDRAM CLOCK to be 133MHz.
For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-4.

2-3-3 Install CPU

This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the motherboard
should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then
purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may
cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install
an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner
should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the
four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

 WARNING! The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s design
guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are not
recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your system or
important data. Before over clocking, you must make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially CPU,
memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.

2-4 Install Memory

This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 32MB to maximum
memory size of 512MB SDRAM.

should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its
indention on both sides.

12
 WARNING! For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing
issues, if your DIMM are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 Expansion Cards

WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other
system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your motherboard and expansion cards.

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

1. After all connections are made, close your computer case cover.
2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to
proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your
country’s voltage used.
3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system
case according to your system user’s manual.
4. Turn on your peripheral as following order:
a. Your monitor.
b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…)
c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply
and press the ATX power switch on the front side of the case.
5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the monitor
may light up or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it complies

 Chapter 3
Introducing BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on
self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures
the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it
gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only
channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability,
and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:
• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
• Press ↑ ↓ ← → (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to
confirm or to modify.
• Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these
parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
• Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for
the active option.

3-1 Entering Setup

Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system
case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If
you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message
will be displayed and you will again be asked to
Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

Onboard Parallel Port
There is a built-in parallel port on the on-board Super I/O chipset that Provides Standard, ECP, and
EPP features. It has the following option:
Disabled
(3BCH/IRQ7)/ Line Printer port 0
(278H/IRQ5)/ Line Printer port 2
(378H/IRQ7) Line Printer port 1
Parallel Port Mode
SPP : Standard Parallel Port
EPP : Enhanced Parallel Port
ECP : Extended Capability Port
SPP/EPP/ECP/ECP+EPP
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the
onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the
onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP+EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode
has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” at this time, the user can
choose between DMA channels 3 to 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so
after the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will
be displayed on the screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9
spec. can be chosen.
