Quick Installation

Before Installation

For installation, you m ay need som e or all of the following tools:

M edium size flat blade screwdriver

M edium size P hillips head screwdriver

A 3/16 inch nut driver or wrench

Users must follow these guidelines to ensure the motherboard is protected during installation.

1.Make sure your computer is powered-off whenever working in with inside components

2.The motherboard, like all other electronic equipment, is ensitive to static. Please take the proper precautions when handling it. If possible, ground yourself by touching a metal table or desk. keep the board in its conductive wrapping until it is configured and ready to be installed in your system.

3.Keep all magnets away from both your hard and floppy disk drives, especially magnetic screwdrivers. Keep both floppy and hard disks apart if disassembled.

4.Keep water and liquids away from your computer and its components.

Hardware Setup

Hardware Setup

Install the Processor

The CPU should have a fan attached it to prevent overheating.

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processors heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

Step1: Step2:

Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever of socket upward.

Step3:

Insert the CPU into the socket.

Please keep the lever right angle when inserting CPU.

Step4:

When inserting the CPU Please note the correct orientation as shown. The notched corner should point toward the end of the lever.

13

Push the lever down to close the socket.

Chapter 3 Hardware Setup

Step5:

Attach the heatsink to the CPU.

Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clampstyle processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.

Step6:

Pu sh th e c lip o f h eat si nk downward to hock the ear of socket firmly.

Step7:

Finally,attach the fan cable to the

CPU fan header FCPU.

Don't forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and

Multiple(frequency multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 370 processor or else boot-up may not be possible.

14


Install Memory Module

The m otherboard h as three m em ory sockets and supp orts m em ory size up to 3GB.

Step1:

Step2:

Open latches of DIMM socket.

Step3:

Proofread the RAM module to the

DIMM Socket.

Step4:

Insert the RAM module into the DIMM socket.

Press the latches into the notches of the

RAM module.

P ower-on the system by either pressing the P ower-On button, or by using any of the power-on features provided by the m otherboard. Then, press the <D el> key after the P ower-On Self

Test (P OST), and before the scanning of ID E devices. Sim ply look for the m essage “P ress D E L to enter SE TU P ” displayed at the bottom of the screen during the boot up process. If the you can restart the system by turning off the system power then turn it on again, or pressing the “R E SE T” button on the system case, or pressing <C trl>, <Alt> and <D el> keys sim ul taneously.

Generally, the BIOS default settings have been carefully chosen by IWILL's Engineers provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. It is very dangerous to change any setting without full understanding. We strongly recommend that you.

DO NOT update BIOS if the system works perfectly.

DO NOT change any setting unless you fully understand what it means.

Over-clocking is not guaranteed. Users must have substantial knowledge of proper CPU relative to adjusting CPU speeds. Over-clocking should be done only by experienced engineers who conduct tests.

Iw ill MicroStepping

MicroStepping

Microstepping is Iwill's another step forward to provides users a fuss free C P U frequency set up procedure. It contains two m ain functions, Auto D etecting C P U s speed and Micro Adjustable C P U

FSB speed.

Auto Detecting CPU speed:

IWILL MicroStepping will auto detect the C P U 's factory m ultiplier setting and C P U FSB to the factory default. This function provides a "fuss free" C P U set up process for the general users.

42


Micro Adjustable CPU FSB speed:

IWILL provides a user friendly overclocking function that allows users to experience the fun of overclocking. This function allows user to adjust C P U FSB by 1MH z interval. This is particularly useful when user wants to extract the m ost out of the purchased

C P U . For exam ple: you select from 133, 134, 135, 136, 137,

138MH z and up to the m axim um speed that the system can sustained.

In the tim e should overclocking failed, MicroStepping will auto detects the C P U 's factory m ultiplier setting and set the C P U FSB to default 66MH z, to protect the C P U installed.

To understand how does CPU w orks, and how does it related to

FSB and m ultiplier, here is the exam ple:

C P U speed = FSB x Multiplier (C P U R atio)

800Mhz = 100Mhz x 8

Install the Processor

The CPU should have a fan attached it to prevent overheating.

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processors heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

Don't forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and

Multiple(frequency multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 370 processor or else boot-up may not be possible.
