Step 1
CPU Installation:
This mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 /Celeron, Socket 478 series CPU.
Please follow the steps below to finish CPU installation.
Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever up to 90-degree angle.
CPU socket lever up to
90 degree
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.

- 12 -
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
Note:
If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut
edge well, it may damage the CPU.
4. The Intel Pentium 4 /Celeron processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to

ensure proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been
already bundled with your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan
separately and have it installed. Plug the cable through the heatsink/fan in
the CPU fan power connector located nearby. Note that there are several
types of CPU fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the
hardware monitoring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow
your system to detect the CPU fan's speed . The CPU fan can also run with
a 2-pin fan power connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not
supported. Another type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power
connector, which does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be
directly connected to the system's power supply unit.
- 13 -
Step 2.
Set Jumpers
This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for
the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need
to reset the jumpers unless you require to clear the CMOS.
For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the
default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the mainboard
configuration procedures. The factory-set default settings are tuned for
optimum system performance. For the advanced users who wish to
customize their system, section 3.2 Jumper Settings will provide detailed
information on how to configure your mainboard manually.
Step 3
Install DDR SDRAM System Memory
To install memory, insert DDR SDRAM memory module(s) in DIMM slot(s).
Note that DDR SDRAM modules are directional and cannot be inserted into
the DIMM slots unless properly oriented. After the module is fully inserted
into the DIMM slots, lift the clips of both sides of the DIMM slot to lock the
module in place.
DDR SDRAM

Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the
computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE/
HDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit. This will greatly
facilitate in making the connections to the mainboard described below.
To install IDE drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD, and CD-ROM, have to
set jumpers to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install
more than one device of each kind.)
2. Connect IDE cable on the back-panel of the internal peripheral devices to
the corresponding headers on board. Note that the cable should be
oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta) connected to
pin#1 both on the mainboard IDE connector and on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit
to the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is
directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
- 15 -
Step 5
Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis
1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions
both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose the
correct mounting holes, keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close
fit with your system case.
2. After deciding on the proper mounting holes, position the studs between
the frame of the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix
the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between the system's
chassis and the mainboard, in order to avoid any electrical shorts
between the board and the metal frame of the chassis. (If your computer
case is already equipped with mounting studs, you will need to tighten the
screws to secure it to the mainboard.)
Note: In most computer housings, you will be able to find 4 or more
attachment points to install mounting studs and then fix the
mainboard. If there aren't enough matching holes, then make sure
to install at least 4 mounting studs to ensure proper attachment of
the mainboard.
- 16 -
Step 6
Connect Front Panel Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB
You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system
case and originating from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED,
Power LED, Reset Switch, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect
the front-panel switches, LEDs, and USB connectors to the mainboard's frontpanel connectors group (JP3, JP8, JP10), as shown below.

Step 12
First Time System Boot Up
To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you
may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your
system for the first time.
1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or
others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2. Turn on the system power.
3. First, you must use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the
hard disk. You can also add an extended partition if your primary
partition does not use all of the available hard disk space. If you choose
to add an extended partition, you will have to create one or more logical
partitions to occupy all the space available to the extended partition. The
FDISK utility will assign a drive letter (i.e., C:, D:, E:,...) to each partition
which will be shown in the FDISK program. After FDISK procedure,
reboot your system by using the same system floppy disk.
Note: DOS 6.2x and Windows 95A can only support up to 2.1GB of
HDD partition. If you use the FDISK utility with one of the
operating systems mentioned above, you can only install your
HDD into partitions no larger than 2.1GB each.
4. Now, use the FORMAT utility to format all the partitions you've created.
When formatting the primary partition (C:), make sure to use the FORMAT C: /S command.
Note: FORMAT C: /S can transfer all the necessary system files into the
primary partition of your hard disk. Then, your HDD will become
a bootable drive.
5. Install all the necessary drivers for CD-ROM, Mouse, etc.
6. Setup the complete operating system according to your OS installation
guide.
- 21 -
Step 13
Install Drivers & Software Components
Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/
2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is
already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs.
1. Insert the FS51 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The
autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on
screen.
2. Choose "Install SIS VGA Device Driver" and complete it.
3. Choose "Install SIS AGP Driver" and complete it.
4. Choose "Install LAN Driver" and complete it.
5. Exit from the autorun drivers installation program.
] Please refer to Chapter 4 Software Utility to install driver.
- 22 -
3.2 Jumper Settings

Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner
of each jumper, you just find the location with a white right angle which
stands for pin 1#. There are several types of pin 1# shown as below:
3-pin and multi (>3) pin jumpers shown as following:
Pin #1 to the left:
Pin #1 on the top:
Pin #1 to the right:
Pin #1 on the bottom:
Jumpers with two pins are shown as

for Close [On] or
for
Open [Off]. To Short jumper pins, simply place a plastic mini jumpers over
the desired pair of pins.
Caution!
1. Do not remove the mainboard from its antistatic protective packaging
until you are ready to install it.
2. Carefully hold the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its
components. When putting the mainboard down, place it on top of its
original packaging film, on an even surface, and components side up.
3. Wear an antistatic wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever handling this equipment.

PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or

Personal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O
devices to operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU
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.
Reset Configuration Data
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset
Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit from Setup
if you have installed a new device or software and the system
reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating
system can not boot.
The choice: Enabled or Disabled .
Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug-and-Play compatible devices.
However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using
a Plug-and-Play operating system such as Windows 95.
If you set this field to "manual" , choose specific resources by going into
each of the sub-menu that follows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded
by a ">").
The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.
- 63 -
IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a
type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and
is not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant with
the original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is compliant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA
bus architecture.
The choice: PCI Device or Reserved.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
It determines whether the MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards can work with
PCI/VGA or not. If you have MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards and PCI/
VGA Card worked, Enable this field. Otherwise, please Disable it.
INT Pin 1~4 Assignment
Names the interrupt request (IRQ) line assigned to a device connected
to the PCI interface on your system.
The choice: Auto , 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15.

PC Health Status
CPU Fan AutoGuardian

This SMART Bios enabled 3 phase Variable Fan Speed and CPU temperature Control feature.
This feature is controlled via Bios, in which the CPU fan rotational
speed sensing / control is governed by CPU temperature setting
preselected in Bios.
By default, "CPU Fan AutoGuardian" feature under PC Health Status is
enabled.
Note: Before manually modifying the CPU fan setting, please make sure
both fan connectors are plug into the correct fan connector
designations on the mainboard.
Our default for fan cooler is set to Fan 3.
- 65 -
User Set CPU Fan

Enabled you to choose one specific fan for further setting.
The choice: Fan 1, Fan 2 or Fan 3.
Fan Speed Up When CPU Temp
Enabled 3 phase smart control to the Selected fan. This feature ranges
from 48 0C to 80 0C, in an increment of 4 0C. The default
temperature is at 72 0C.
The choice: 48 0C, 52 0C, 56 0C, 60 0C, 64 0C, 68 0C, 72 0C, 76 0C,
80 0C.
Take our default Setting for example, 1st and 2nd phase Variable Fan
Speed and CPU temperature Control is as defined by "Fan Speed Up
When CPU Temp". If actual CPU temp (reported by BIOS) stays below
72 0C then CPU fan speed will run at a quiet mode (1st phase) of
approximately 2000 RPM.
But when the actual CPU temp goes above the pre-selected 72 0C
temperature threshold, then CPU fan speed will automatically engage
into normal mode (2nd phase) of about 3000 RPM. Automatically by
the Smart Bios feature, this increase of fan rotation speed will
effectively cool down the CPU temperature. And when the CPU
temperature drops back below the 72 0C temperature threshold, CPU
fan speed will again automatically shift back to the quiet mode (1st
phase) of about 2000 RPM in order to reduce fan noise level.
Fail-safe mode (3rd phase) Variable Fan Speed and CPU
temperature Control is as predefined at 80 0C. Where in the event of
system and CPU operating under extreme working conditions, and if
CPU temperature is raised above 80 0C then the Smart Bios will engage
the CPU fan in Fail-safe mode to rotate at about 3500 RPM. Please note
that the higher fan speed, the fan cooler will be
become slightly noisier in order to compensate for the increase in CPU
temperature.
Warning: It is strongly recommended to disable CPU Fan
AutoGuardian feature, if you wish to use other fan cooler, allowing the
fan to run at its default speed.
