Handling Precautions
Warning:
1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT!

Overview
Overview
The new microATX, 478-pin 1stMainboard® supports a full range of the latest
generation Intel® Pentium® 4 processors. The leading edge Intel® chipset
was designed for coworking with Pentium® 4 (up to 3.06 GHz) in the 478-pin
package based on the VRM 10.0 spec and 400/533/800 MHz.Built using the
leading edge technology the Intel Pentium® 4 processors provide a significant
performance over previous Pentium® III processors. Two DDR 266/333/400
SDRAM sockets allow for up to 2 GB memory capacity. Support for the Ultra
DMA/100 protocol and its high-speed interface further ensures that data trans-
fer speeds are improved, especially for long sequential transfers required by
audio/visual applications.
The board features onboard audio and LAN function; also, the serial ATA
feature replaces the standard parallel ATA physical storage interface and al-
lows future enhancements to the computing platform. It completely software
compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no mofication to your operating sys-
tem. For more detail, please read the help file in the lst Utilities CD.
The 1stMainboard comes with a versatile range of I/O features such as 1 serial
port, 1 CRT port, 1 parallel port, 1 LAN, 2 optional IEEE 1394, 1 PS/2 mouse and
keyboard connector, 8 USB ports, 1 media connector (front audio, Line-in,
Line-out and Mic-in). In addition, the board is equipped with 2 dual channel
enhanced PCI bus master IDE connectors. Ample expansion is available
through 3 PCI and 1AGP to meet the requirement for enjoying the P4 CPU
benefits in internet applicatons, video/3D graphics performance, and so forth.
Other key features are Remote On/Off, Auto Power Failure Recovery, inte-
grated temperature monitoring and system fan control. Included also is lst
Utilities CD with enhanced drivers and a few bundled soft-ware solutions.

Clear CMOS
The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To
clear the RTC data:
(1) Turn off your computer;
(2) open the system case, disconnect the ATX power cable;
(3) place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 2-3 at least 6 seconds to enable
CMOS clearance;
(4) place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 1-2 to disable the effect of CMOS
clearance;
(5) connect the ATX power cable; close the system case;
(6) turn on your computer until CMOS checksum error appears;
(7) hold down the Delete key when boots;
(8) enter the BIOS Setup to re-enter user preferences.

Installation Procedures
Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that, when connected to the
mainboard, increase the capabilities of your system.
For example, expansion cards can provide video and sound capabilities. The
mainboard features one AGP and three PCI bus expansion slots.
CAUTION:
1.Make sure to unplug the power supply when adding or removing
expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to both the mainboard and expansion
cards.
2. Always observe static electricity precautions.
3. Please read Handling Precautions at the start of this manual.

Installation Procedures
Fan Connectors
The two connectors, CPU_FAN, SYS_FAN are linked to the CPU fan, case fan,
respectively. CHIP_FAN can be used with North Bridge chip fan.
Power Connectors
The 20-pin male block connector is connected to the ATX power supply. The
4-pin male block connector is for the ATX_12V power use. All two connectors
are linked with your ATX power supply. The plug from the power supply will
only insert in one orientation because of the different hole sizes. Find the
proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that the pins are aligned.

BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup
The mainboard comes with the chip that Award BIOS that contains the ROM
Setup information of your system. (This chip serves as an interface between
the processor and the rest of the mainboard components.) This section ex-
plains the information contained in the Setup program and tells you how to
modify the settings according to your system configuration.
The Setup utility program allows updates to the mainboard configuration set-
tings. The BIOS setup values will be saved in the CMOS. It is executed when
the user changes system configuration; user changes system backup battery;
or the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the Setup
program. Use the arrow keys to select and press Enter to run the selected
program.
