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. Vendor list for heatsink and fan of Pentium® III processor, please visit http://developer.intel.com/design/Pentiumiii/components/index.htm Vendor list for heatsink and fan of Intel® CeleronTM processor, please visit http://developer.intel.com/design/celeron/components/index.htm

Chipset (core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between the system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards. Processor socket - the socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard. Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM. AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port - a high speed interface for video cards; runs at 1X (66MHz), 2X (133MHz), or 4X (266MHz). PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect - a high speed interface for video cards, sound cards, network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz. Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems. Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers. PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards. USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards, scanners, and some digital cameras. Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices. LAN (interface) - Local Area Network - the interface to your local area network. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and establish the relationship between the various components. Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or other software. Processor - the "Central Processing Unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for doing the "computing" in "personal computer" Front Side Bus Frequency - The working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS. CPU L2 Cache - The flash memory inside the CPU, normally Pentium III CPU has 256K or above, while Celeron CPU will have 128K. The way to recognize the specification of CPU from the packing Pentium III 370 pins FC-PGA On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of "PENTIUM III" the code is: RB 80526 P2 866 256 RB : FCPGA packing P2 : P2133MHz front side bus frequency PY100MHz front side bus frequency 866 : CPU internal frequency, where here is 866MHz 256 : the size of L2 cache, where here is 256K
Celeron FCPGA

On the surface of the CPU as shown on the right picture, under the word of "Celeron" the 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)
AUTO 66/100 (Default) 100/100 133/100 133/133

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.

When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab 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. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers. 2. Remove your computer's cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. 3. Align the card's connectors and press firmly. 4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above. 5. Replace the computer system's cover. 6. Set up the BIOS if necessary. 7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use. Standard Interrupt Assignments IRQ Priority Standard function
0 1 2 3* 4* 5* 6 7* 8 9* 10 * 11 * 12 * 13 14 * 15 * 1 2 N/A 11 12 13 14 15 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 System Timer Keyboard Controller Programmable Interrupt Communications Port (COM2) Communications Port (COM1) Sound Card (sometimes LPT2) Floppy Disk Controller Printer Port (LPT1) System CMOS/Real Time Clock ACPI Mode when enabled IRQ Holder for PCI Steering IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port Numeric Data Processor Primary IDE Channel Secondary IDE Channel
* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

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 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 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.

3-9 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
