Hardware Setup
Chapter 2
Hardware Setup
If your mainboard has already been installed in your computer you may still need
to refer to this chapter if you plan to upgrade your system's hardware.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before performing
any work on your mainboard, i. e. installing a CPU, memory module,
changing a jumper setting, etc. Not doing so may result in electrical shock!
2-1 Introduction to Jumpers
Jumpers are used to select between various operating modes. A jumper consists of
a row of gold colored pins that protrude from the surface of the mainboard. It is
important not to confuse jumpers with connectors or headers.
Putting jumper caps on anything that is not a jumper may result in damaging
your mainboard. Please refer to Section 1-3, Mainboard Layout, for the
location of jumpers on your mainboard.
As indicated in Figure 2-1 below, a cap is used to cover the pins of a jumper, resulting
in shorting those pins that it covers. If the cap is removed from the top of the pins,
the jumper is left "open." The number 1 shown both in the diagram below and in
all multiple pin jumper and header diagrams in this manual indicates the pin
designated with the number 1. The numbering of the remaining pins follows in
sequence.

2-2 Installing a CPU in a Socket 370
The Intel Socket 370, designed for the Celeron/Coppermine processor, has been
incorporated as a standard mainboard specification To insert your CPU into Socket
370 please do the following:
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it's corners.
The same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU's corner.
These markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Pull up the lever of Socket 370 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the
mainboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 370
that contains the end of the lever. Allow the weight of the CPU to push itself
into place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your
CPU. Snap the lever back into place.
Installing a heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation
from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and
possible burn-out of your CPU.
2-3 Setting Your CPU's Parameters(SeePU Technology)
5AA27is a new user friendly technology that enables the user to setup a mainboard's
CPU parameters through an easy to use BIOS setup procedure. It is no longer
necessary to make many jumper settings as on conventional mainboards.
1. After installing all your hardware into your PC system, turn on your system's
power. Enter the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the Delete key when your
BIOS identification screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to SeePU Setup menu and press Enter. Find the CPU Host/PCI
Clock option. Commands for operating the cursor in BIOS are found at the Bottom
of the BIOS screen.
3. Use the CPU Host/PCI Clock option to select your CPU's parameters. Set the
clock ratio (also known as external clock multiplier factor) according to your
processor's specifications.
!
!
CPU bus frequency (JP9/JP10) must be selected according to you processor.
If you are not sure what frequency your CPU support. Set both JP9/JP10
pin to 1-2 default (See Section 2-4).
You do not need to make voltage settings because 5AA27 automatically
sets your CPU voltage.
4. Press Esc to return to the CMOS Setup Utility, press F10 to Save and Exit Setup
and choose 'Y' to confirm. The system will automatically reboot and during startup
you will see the correct CPU type shown on the screen.

Hardware Setup
2-4 Connector and Jumper Settings
Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including
the power supply, the keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of
the system case.
The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while installing
a mainboard. Before connecting the power supply, please make sure it is not
connected to the power source.
ATX Power Supply Connector (PW1)
This mainboard requires a power supply of at least 200
watts. The power cord leading from the system's power
supply to the external power source must be the very
last part connected when assembling a system.
To support this function, a switching power
supply with a minimum of 750mA 5VSB is
required.
The ATX power supply provides a single 20-pin
connector interface which incorporates standard +/5V, +/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals. The
Soft-power signal, a 5V trickle supply is continuously
supplied when AC power is available. When the
system is in the Soft-Off mode, this trickle supply
maintains the system in it's minimum power state.
Software Power-Off Control
This mainboard can be powered down using the Windows 95/98 Software Power-Off
function. To power down your computer, click the START button on the Windows
95 task bar. Select "Shut Down The Computer" and the system turns off. The message
"It is now safe to turn off your computer" will not be shown when using this function.
Power-On By Modem
While in Soft-off state, if an external modem ring-up signal occurs, the system wakes
up and can be remotely accessed. You may enable this function in BIOS's Power
Management Setup menu.

Chapter 2
Front Panel Connector Set (J11) A through E
A. Over-ride Power Button Connector
The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as
a normal power switch as well as a device to activate
Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This
mode is used for saving electricity when the computer
is not in use for long periods of time. The Soft-OFF by
PWR-BTTN function in BIOS's Power Management
Setup menu must be set to "Delay 4 Sec." to activate this
function.
When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled,
pushing the power button rapidly will switch the system
to Suspend mode. Any occurrence of external activities
such as pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the
mouse will bring the system back to Full-On. Pushing
the button while in Full-On mode for more than 4
seconds will switch the system completely off. See
Over-ride Power Button Operation diagram.

Hardware Setup
C. Green Switch/Green LED Connector
Some ATX cases provide a Green switch which is
used to put the system in Suspend mode. In Suspend
mode, the power supply to the system is reduced to
a trickle, the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core
is in it's minimum power state. The system is woken
up whenever the keyboard or mouse is touched. The
system resumes in different ways as defined by Power
Management Setup screen in BIOS.
D. System Reset Switch Connector
This connector should be connected to the reset
switch on the front panel of the system case. The
reset switch allows you to restart the system without
turning the power off.

G. Turbo LED Connector
The mainboard does not have a Turbo/De-turbo speed
modes. Even though this function does not exist, the
turbo LED will light when the LED is connected and
turbo button pressed.
Suspend to RAM (STR)
The Suspend to RAM (STR) also known as S3 sleeping state feature allow the system
to go into a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system context is lost except
system memory. CPU, cache and chip set context are lost in this state; the OS and
drivers must restore all device context. Hardware must maintain memory context and
restore some CPU and L2 configuration context

System/CPU Cooling Fan Connectors (FAN1/FAN2)
FAN1
FAN2
These added connectors allow the fan to draw their
power from the mainboard instead of the disk drive
connector.
The board's management extension hardware is able
to detect the CPU and system fan speed in rpm
(revolutions per minute). These connectors supports
3-pin cooling fans with minimum of 3500 RPM. The
wiring and plug may vary depending on the
manufacturer. On standard fans, the red is positive
(+12V), the black is ground, and the yellow wire is
the rotation signal.
WOL (Wake-on-LAN) Connector (J1)
Enable the Wake Up On LAN selection in BIOS's
Power Management Menu to use this function. The
capability to remotely manage PCs on a network is
a significant factor in reducing administrative and
ownership costs. Magic Packet technology is designed
to give WOL (Wake-on-LAN) capability to the LAN
controller. When a PC capable of receiving wake up
command goes to sleep, the Magic Packet mode in
the LAN controller is enabled. When the LAN
controller receives a Magic Packet frame, the LAN
controller will wake up the PC. This header is used
to connect an add-in NIC (Network Interface Card)
which gives WOL capability to the mainboard.

other BIOS screens. When a field is high lighted, on-line help information is
displayed on the right side of the screen.
