2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures. 3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed. 4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC power supply may result in serious damage to your system or memory module. Attention: We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while over-clocked.

For the detailed CPU support list on this motherboard, please visit the website: http://www.foxconnchannel.com Installation of CPU Below is the CPU socket illustration. Follow these procedures to install a CPU. Load lever Load plate Protective cover 1. Use thumb and forefinger to hold the hook of the load lever and pull the lever down and away from socket to unlock it. Lift the load lever. 2. Push down the rear tab with your forefinger to bring the front end of the load plate up slightly. Open the load plate with thumb. Be careful not to touch the contacts.

8 3. Hold CPU with thumb and forefinger. Ensure fingers align to socket cutouts. Match the CPU triangle marker to Pin 1 position as shown below. The alignment key also provides the orientation directed function. Lower the CPU straight down without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket. 4. After installing the CPU, remove the protective cover from load plate. The protective cover is used to protect the contacts of the socket. Do not discard the protective cover. Always replace the socket cover if the CPU is removed from the socket. Alignment Key Socket Cutouts Pin 1 position

9 Note : Excessive temperatures will severely damage the CPU and system. Therefore, you should install CPU cooling fan and make sure that the cooling fan works normally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging to the CPU. Please refer to your CPU fan user guide to install it properly. 5. Close the load plate, and slightly push down the tongue side. 6. Lower the lever and lock it to the load plate, then the CPU is locked completely.

10 Memory This motherboard includes two 240-pin slots with 1.8V for DDR2. So You must install at least one memory bank to ensure normal operation. Installation of DDR2 Memory 1. There is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module can be fixed in one direction only. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward. 2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM slot. 3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically. 128 Pins 112 Pins For the detailed memory support list on this motherboard, please visit the website: http://www.foxconnchannel.com

17 Expansion Slots This motherboard includes two 32-bit master PCI slots,one PCI Express x 1 slot and one PCI Express x 16 slot. PCI Slots The expansion cards can be installed in the two PCI slots. PCI slots support cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. PCI Express Slots PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP interface: -Compatible with existing PCI driver and software and Operating Systems. -High Bandwidth per Pin. Low latency. -PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins.,which re- sults in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s. -A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec- tion without sharing bandwidth. -Ability to comprehend different data structure. -Low power consumption and power management features. PCI Express will take two forms, x16 PCI Express slot and x1 PCI Express slot. Whereas the x16 slot is reserved for graphics/vedio cards,the x1 slot is de- signed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards,such as a modem or LAN card. The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots are not able to be sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec(8GB/sec concurrent) of bandwidth,and x1 PCI Express slot offering 250MB/sec. If a performance graphics card was installed into x16 PCI Express slot, 20 pin power supply was strongly recommended. Note:

18 Jumpers The users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard if needed. This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by chang- ing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper settings. Description of Jumpers 1. For the jumpers on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the silk- screen printed “ ” next to it. However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”. 2. The following table provides some explanation of the jumper pin settings. User should refer to this when adjusting jumper settings. Jumper Diagram Definition Description 1-2 Set pin1 and pin2 closed 2-3 Set pin2 and pin3 closed Closed Set the pin closed Open Set the pin opened 1 1 1 1 1 1 Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all the set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by removing the CMOS jumper. How to clear CMOS? 1. Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 1 and 2 together using the jumper cap. 2. Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 2 and 3 together with the jumper cap). 3. Turn the AC power supply back on. NORMAL (Default) CLR_CMOS CLEAR 1 3 2 1 3 2 Warning: 1. Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings. 2. Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.

19 BIOS TBL ENABLE Jumper: TBL_EN (optional) The system cannot boot, if the BIOS failed to be flashed in conventional flash BIOS process. You will have no such worry when using the BIOS TBL function, which is used to protect BIOS “Top Boot Block”. By using this function, the system still can boot even if the flash BIOS fails and show some infor- mation to recover the BIOS. To utilize this function , you just leave this jumper as short pin 2 and 3 with the jumper cap. BIOS TBL Disabled 2 1 3 BIOS TBL Enabled TBL_EN 2 1 3
