2. Hardware Setup  
In this chapter we will elaborate all the information you need upon installing this motherboard  
to your computer system.  
※ Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or  
removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage  
to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after  
you have carefully checked everything.  
2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis  
•
This motherboard carries a Micro ATX form factor of 245 x 245 mm. Choose a chassis big  
enough to install this motherboard.  
•
As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the  
motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis  
supports all the features required.  
•
•
If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has  
sufficient power and space for them.  
Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O  
shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find  
an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.  
2.2 Installing Motherboard  
Most computer chassis have a base with  
many mounting holes to allow the  
motherboard to be securely attached, and at  
the same time, prevent the system from  
short circuits. There are two ways to attach  
the motherboard to the chassis base:  
1. with studs,  
2. or with spacers  
In principle, the best way to attach the board  
is to use studs. Only if you are unable to do  
this should you attach the board with spacers.  
Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and  
there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are  
only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into  
the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots.  
After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the  
chassis back on.

To install this motherboard:  
1. Locate all the screw holes on  
the motherboard and the  
chassis base.  
2. Place all the studs or spacers  
needed on the chassis base  
and have them tightened.  
3. Face the motherboard’s I/O  
ports toward the chassis’s rear  
panel.  
4. Line up all the motherboard’s  
screw holes with those studs or  
spacers on the chassis.  
5. Install the motherboard with  
screws  
tightened.  
and  
have  
them  
※ To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if  
they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes  
on the motherboard to align with.  
2.3 Checking Jumper Settings  
For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the  
jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position.  
SHORT

2.3.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery  
The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b)  
you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to  
boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d)  
whenever there is modification on the CPU or memory modules.  
This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it reconfigured to the  
default values stored in BIOS.  
•
•
Pins 1 and 2 shorted (default): Normal operation.  
Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory.  
To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:  
1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.  
2. Set pin 2 and pin 3 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper cap  
back to its default settings --- pin 1 and pin 2 shorted.  
3. Power on the system.  
4. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup  
menu right after powering on system.  
5. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value.  
6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

CMOS Backup Battery:  
An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after  
disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after  
some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS  
checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to  
be renewed.  
To renew the backup battery:  
1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.  
2. Remove the exhausted battery.  
3. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The “+” side is its  
positive polarity.  
4. Connect AC power source and power on the system.  
5. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if necessary.  
CAUTION:  
※ Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed.  
※ Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery  
manufacturer.  
※ Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

※ DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidentally  
tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the  
scratch of  
motherboard.  
a
2.5.1 CPU Socket 478 (Core Duo)  
※ Be cautious when installing CPU into this socket. Prevent the contact pins of the  
socket and the CPU from breaking or bending.  
1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the  
screw bolt counter clockwise to unlock  
position.  
2. Carefully hold the CPU by both of its  
edges above the CPU socket. Align the  
gold-triangle mark with the Pin-1 of CPU  
socket. Place the CPU vertically and  
easily down into the socket.  
Do not force the CPU in; it only fits in  
one orientation.  
3. Use a flat-head screw driver to turn the  
screw bolt clockwise from its unlock  
position to the lock position.

4. Peel off the protective film from the  
retention module. This will expose the  
adhesive sponge.  
5. Face the retention module with the side  
of adhesive sponge toward the bottom  
side of the motherboard. Align the four  
screw holes from the retention module  
through the motherboard.  
6. Peel off the protecting film that was  
originally attached to the bottom of CPU  
heatsink. This film prevents the thermal  
paste from being touched by anything  
but the CPU die, and so it has to be  
removed to increase the contact with  
the CPU die after having installed the  
heatsink.  
Forgetting to do so may cause the  
CPU over-heated and eventually  
ruined!  
※ Watch out for the integrity and usability of the thermal paste each time when  
re-installing the heatsink. Applying a few drop of thermal paste will help to  
increase the contact in between the CPU die and heatsink, especially when  
having installed and removed the heatsink for several times.

7. Carefully place the heatsink onto CPU  
socket in the direction of blowing its  
airflow toward rear panel.  
Use a cross-head screw driver to lock  
the four screws around the heatsink.  
8. Lock the screws diagonally in the order  
of (1) ꢀ (2) ꢀ (3) ꢀ (4).  
Turn the screw halfway down the screw  
hole. Do not over-tighten the screw all  
the way down into the screw hole one at  
a time. Avoid CPU damage caused by  
unbalanced forcing.  
9. Plug the fan power connector from the  
CPU cooler to the “CPUFAN1” connector  
on this motherboard.  
Now complete the CPU and heatsink  
installation.  
※ The installation procedures vary with different types of CPU fan-and-heatsink  
assembly. The one shown here is served for DEMO only. For detailed information  
on how to install the one you bought, refer to its installation guidelines.  
※ A higher fan speed will be helpful for better airflow and heat-dissipation.  
Nevertheless, stay alert to touch any heatsink since the high temperature  
generated by the working system is still possible.

3. BIOS Setup  
This motherboard provides a programmable EEPROM that you can update the BIOS utility. The  
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program that deals with the basic level of  
communication between processor and peripherals. Use the BIOS Setup program only when  
installing motherboard, reconfiguring system, or prompted to “Run Setup”. This chapter  
explains the Setup Utility of BIOS utility.  
After powering up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen, the memory count  
begins, and then the following message appears on the screen:  
PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP  
If this message disappears before you respond, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt>  
+ <Del> keys, or by pressing the Reset button on computer chassis. Only when it failed by  
these two methods can you restart the system by powering it off and then back on.  
After pressing <Del> key, the main menu screen appears.

5. Appendix  
5.1 Troubleshooting (How to Get Technical Support?)  
5.1.1 Q & A  
Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my  
new computer system?  
A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard.  
Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and  
then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the  
user's manual to load the optimized defaults.  
Q: If my system hangs when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters,  
what should I do?  
A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters  
setting, always clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.  
Q: Why does the system fail to boot up again right after a mechanical power-off?  
A: Please keep a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off.  
Q: Why does the system fail to boot up and nothing displays on the screen after I  
did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS?  
A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings  
were changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.  
We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover  
the hardware default status, and then making the motherboard work again. There is no  
need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought it from or go through an  
RMA process.  
Step 1.Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If  
there is no power-switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for  
one minute and then reconnect.  
Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, and press the power-on button  
to boot up system. If it works, release the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter  
the BIOS setup page to apply the correct settings.  
If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 for three times,  
or try Step 2.  
Step 2.Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis  
cover. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper  
position from default 1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and  
then put it back to default 1-2 position.  
Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord.  
Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter  
the BIOS setup page to do the correct settings.  
If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.  
iL-90MV  
5-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Step 3.The same procedure as Step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, pull out the  
ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during  
CMOS discharge.  
Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support?  
A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending “Technical Support Form”:  
System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled:  
Check the motherboard’s supporting specifications first to see if all the key components  
attached in your system can meet.  
To do so, you may:  
ꢁ
Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and  
Power Supply), and then reboot.  
ꢁ
If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the  
system will start.  
ꢁ
ꢁ
If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model.  
If the trouble still exists, try another CPU and Power Supply.  
If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and  
devices that were previously installed in the system. Re-install and start the system one at a  
time until the system won’t start.  
Malfunction in the OS:  
If the system hangs after resuming from S3 or some testing program, if the CPU cannot be  
recognized properly, if the display resolution mixed, or if a certain program cannot be  
executed, etc, you may:  
ꢁ
ꢁ
ꢁ
Upgrade the motherboard’s latest BIOS version.  
Upgrade the add-on device’s latest driver version.  
Check if there is any conflict in the “Control Panel/System Properties”.
