Chapter 2 Hardware Setup


To Get Things Ready for Hardware Setup !
1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.
For detailed installation instructions of processor, you can also refer
to the pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.
2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heatsink is a must for proper heat
dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with heatsink
for proper installation. Improper fan and installation will damage your
CPU.
3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable on
board, please follow the instructions described in the User Manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

2-2 Memory Installation


How to tackle the memory Modules:
Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.

Dual Channel Memory Features


Dual Channel Memory Configuration is formed by couple of identical
DDR SDRAMs.
Dual Channel memory configuration provides higher performance than
Single Channel configurations.
Matched DIMMs need to have identical density, DRAM technology,
DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks.
This series supports up to 3GB unbuffered Dual Channel DDR 400/
333/266 SDRAM, with 3 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert
other type of modules into these slots.
The dual memory controller can double the DDR memory bandwidth
up to 6.4GB/s with couple of DDR400, 5.4GB/s with couple of DDR333
and 4.2GB/s with couple of DDR266.

2-2.2 Dual Channel DDR DIMM configuration
1. To enable Dual Channel function on this series of mainboard, a DDR
SDRAM module must be first inserted into DIM3, the Master Dual Channel slot.
2. Next, either DIM1 or DIM2 or both should be inserted with DDR
SDRAM module(s) to activate the Dual Channel function. That is, DIM3
is the Master Dual Channel DIMM slot and at least one more slot is
needed to couple with the Master Dual Channel DIMM slot DIM3.
Please notice that users should insert totally identical (size and
frequency) DDR module pair into the memory slots.
DDR DIMM slot has 184 pins and one notch. Insert a DDR SDRAM
vertically into the 184-pin slot with the notch-to-rib matching.

2-3 AGP Slot Installation


The AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 8X/4X card only. A Rib is
specifically added to the 8X/4X slot so as to match the AGP 8X/4X card.
To insert a 3.3V AGP 2X card into the AGP 4X slot will damage the
system chip and burn the 1.5V circuitry.
An AGP 8X card will support a data transfer rate up to 2GB/sec, while
an AGP 4X card will provide 1GB/sec transfer rate.

A 3-pin Jumper
If a pin-header (of 2 or more pins) is
designed in such a way that its pins
can be closed or linked together to
set up a specific function, this header
is called a jumper in this manual.

The conductor inside the cap


links two header-pins together.

A Jumper is usually but not necessarily given a JpX legend.


In the Jumper setting diagram, all jumper pins covered with
black marks stand for closed pins with jumper cap.

Do not remove any jumper cap when power is on. Always


make sure the power is off before changing any jumper settings.
Otherwise, mainboard could be damaged.

2-8.2 Jp2: CPU Clock Select


1. Before setting the CPU clock by Jp2, read
the Identification Legend on the CPU, find
the Max FSB and divide it by two. The
result is the default CPU clock.
2. Setting Jp2 1-2 closed is for 100/133MHz
CPU.
3. Setting Jp2 2-3 closed is for 166/200MHz
CPU, 100/133MHz CPU will fail to boot
herewith.
4. If 100/133MHz CPU fails to boot system ,
you should excute the nVIDIA-Boot-FailureRestart Procedure to reboot system.

nVIDIA Boot-Failure-Reboot Procedures:
Whenever nVIDIA system fails to boot (including overclock and nonoverclock cases), it requires a more guaranteed Reboot Procedure to
restart system.
(1) To reboot nVIDIA system, users should first power off the system.
(2) If a CPU Clock Select Jumper is on board, restore this jumper
setting to default setting.
(3) Execute the Clear CMOS procedures with Clear CMOS Jumper.
(4) Then press down Insert key of the keyboard before pressing down
Power Button to start system. Do not release Insert Key until you can
see the initial bootup screen appear.
(5) In some overclocking cases by BIOS Setup, if system still cannot
boot up with the above 4 steps, please remove the on-board battery
from the battery-socket and unplug the power cord as well. Keep the
battery and power cord away from system in 10 to 20 seconds so as to
make sure all power residue has faded away.
(6) After restoring the power cord and battery to system, make sure the
CPU Clock Select Jumper is at Default Setting and then press the
Power Button to restart system again. Please note that Step (5) will
take the place of Step (3) and (4).
(7) After starting system, users should also enter Advanced Chipset
Features of BIOS Setup and set the FSB Frequency to CPU Default value for a guaranteed bootup. However, user can also select a
higher CPU clock to try overclocking again.

2-8.3 JBAT1: nVIDIA Clear CMOS


When you have problem with rebooting your system, you can clear
CMOS data and restore it to default value. To clear CMOS with Jumper
JBAT1, please follow the steps below:
1. Power off system.
2. Set JBAT1 to Pin 2-3 closed.
3. After 3 or 5 seconds(allowing residue
power to fade away), return the JBAT1
setting to Pin1-2 closed.
4. To reboot the system, press down
Insert key before pressing down
Power Button. Do not release Insert
key until you see the initial bootup
screen.

setting) will get system shutdown when the above-mentioned CPUs get
to 85 oC (the default protection temperature.) Only when the CPU returns to a cooler state can you restart your system.
For other CPUs that are not incorporated with a protective thermal diode,
please set Jp5 2-3 closed to disable the function because it is a vain
design now.
Reminder: If a sudden shutdown happens to your system which has
been running well for a while with an AMD Athlon XP/ Duron Morgan
CPU, this might be caused by the Overheated CPU Shutdown design.
Please use a better CPU cooling fan and restart your system.

Both Sensor and No-sensor Fan Connectors support CPU/AGP/System/Case cooling fan with +12V mode. A Hardware Monitor chipset is
on board, with which users can install a Hardware Monitor Utility and
read the fan speed transmitted from the sensor fan. Otherwise, users
can read the fan speed from the Hardware Monitor Status via BIOS.
A running Fan will send out 2 electric pulses per rotation of its fan
blade. A Sensor Fan Connector will count the electric pulses and send
the information to the System Hardware Monitor which in turn will work
out the fan rotation speed and display it on screen.
