[. . . ] Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter gives you a step-by-step procedure on how to install your system. Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. [. . . ] The third and fourth devices, if any, can be connected on secondary channel at master and slave respectively. 1 2 1 2 39 40 39 40 IDE2 IDE1 Caution: The maximum specification of the IDE cable is 46cm (18 inches). Make sure that your cable does not exceed this length. For better signal quality, we recommend that you set the device connected to the end of the cable master mode. Follow the suggested sequence to install your new device (see the following figure). 2-21 Hardware Installation IDE1 (Primary Channel) Slave (2nd) IDE2 (Secondary Channel) Master (1st) Slave (4th) Master (3rd) 2-22 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 9 Hard Disk LED The HDD LED connector is marked HDD LED on the board. This connector is designed to support various types of housing. Actually, only two pins are necessary for the LED. If your housing comes with a 4-pin connector, simply attach it to the onboard connector. For a 2-pin connector, you can insert it to pins 1-2 or pins 3-4. However, when connecting, take note of the polarity of the pins.

Attach the power LED, keylock, speaker, reset switch, suspend switch, and green mode LED connectors to the corresponding pins as shown in the figure. Some housings come with a 5-pin connector for the keylock and power LED. Since the pins for power LED and keylock functions remained aligned, you can attach it to the onboard multifunction connector. 1 GND KEYLOCK GND RESET POWER LED SPEAKER +5V GND NC SPEAKER 11 +5V GND GREEN LED GND SUSPEND SW SUSPEND SW GND NC RESET GND 10 20 PANEL 1 Keylock 11 + + + + + + Suspend SW Green LED Power LED Speaker Reset 10 20 PANEL Other housings may have a 12-pin connector. If your housing has this type of connector, connect it to PANEL as shown in the figure. Make sure that the red wire of the connector is attached to +5V. 1 11 +5V 10 20 PANEL 2-24 Hardware Installation Notes: If your housing comes with Turbo switch and Turbo LED connectors, you may use these connectors for Suspend switch and Green mode LED functions, respectively. Pressing the Suspend switch allows you to manually set the system to suspend mode. However, this is possible only if the Power Management function in the BIOS Setup menu is enabled. 2-25 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 11 Keyboard The onboard keyboard connector is a 5-pin AT-compatible connector marked KB1. The figure below shows how the keyboard connector as viewed from the back panel of the housing. Note: The mini DIN PS/2 keyboard connector is optional. PCB KB1 2-26 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 12 IrDA Connector Serial port 2 can be configured to support wireless infrared module via this connector and application software such as Laplink. This module enables the user to transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA and printers without using cables. This mainboard supports IrDA (115Kbps, 1 meter), as well as ASK-IR (19. 2Kbps). To install an infrared module, insert the module cable to IrDA connector then enable infrared function by BIOS setup. Make sure of the correct cable orientation when connecting the cable to the IrDA connector.

Pin 1 of DIMM Pin 1 of Bank1 Pin 1 of Bank0 The SIMM supported by this mainboard can be identified by 4 kinds of factors, Intel VX chipset does not support 64M bit technology. Size: single side, 1Mx32 (4MB), 4Mx32 (16MB), and double side, 1Mx32x2 (8MB), 4Mx32x2 (32MB). [. . . ] You can see that Bank1 1st side and DIMM 2nd side use the same RAS2#, and Bank1 2nd side and DIMM 1st side use the same RAS3#. If you are using single side SIMM at Bank1 and single side DIMM, it should be no problem. But if you are using double side DIMM or double side SIMM at Bank1, the other must be empty. RAS0# RAS1# RAS2# RAS3# Bank0 1st side X Bank0 2nd side X Bank1 1st side Bank1 2nd side DIMM 1st side DIMM 2nd side X X X X Caution: Make sure that you install the same SIMM type and size for each bank. Caution: There are some old DIMMs made by EDO or FPM memory chip, they can only accept 5V power and probably can not fit into the DIMM socket, make sure you have 3. 3V true SDRAM DIMM before your insert it. 2-31 Hardware Installation Warning: Do not use SIMM and SDRAM DIMM together unless you have 5V tolerance SDRAM (such as Samsung or TI).
