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!
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:
nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Overview
Overview
Chapter 1
The new 1stMainboard®AN19E/AN19CÔis an ATX sized motherboard sup-
porting the latest generation of AMD®processors at industry leading speeds.
By utilizing DDR ( Double Data Rate ) transfer rate the 100/133 MHz system bus
effectively reaches Front Side Bus speeds of 200/266/333 MHz. The board
provides users with an ATA133 data transaction for hard drives and has 3
PC1600/PC2100/PC2700 DDR333 DIMMs for up to 3 GB.
The optional serial ATA feature replaces the standard parallel ATA physical
storage interface and allows future enhancements to the computing platform.
It completely software compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no mofication
to your operating system.The board is equipped with 2 dual channeled en-
hanced PCI bus master IDE connectors, plus two optional IDE RAID ATA133
connectors for supporting more efficient data backup.
The board is based around the high performance VIA KT400Ôas North Bridge
and the VIA VT8235Ô as South Bridge. Its AGP 8X functions supported AGP
3.0 interface and the most robust 3D games with software environments. The
AGP slot allows 1.5 volt AGP card only and Maximum AGP interface bandwith
2.1 GB/s.

IMPORTANT:AMDCPUHEATSINKINSTALLATION
Be ware finish heat sink install. Before you boot system, please
check the heat sink is complete contact with die of CPU.
The poor contact will bring about over heat, it may damage your
processor.
Itis strongly recommendedthatat least a250-wattATX powerpupply
be used for this motherboard. Make sure that your ATX power sup-
ply can supply at least 20 amperes on teh +5-Volt lead and 10mA
on the +5-Volt standby lead (+5VSB). Your system may become
unstable / unreliable and may experience difficulty in powering up if
your power supply is inadequate.

||LS-120|drives, IDE ZIP drives, Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows
||NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and OS/2.
nLeading Edge Chipset
VIA KT400 is a single-chip North Bridge for AMD CPUs with 200/266/333
MHz Front Side Bus with AGP 8X and PCI plus advanced memory con-
troller that supports PC1600/PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM. VIA VT8235
is a Vlink client highly integrated controller that supports PC99-compliant
system. The VT8235 supports ATA133 protocol.
nVersatile Main Memory Support
Accepts up to 3 GB DRAM using three DDR333 DIMMs from 256 MB to 3
GB with support for lightenning-fast (PC1600/PC2100/PC2700) DDR
SDRAM .
nEnhanced PCI Bus Master IDE Controller with UltraDMA/33/66/100/
133 Support
Integrated Enhanced PCI Bus Master IDE controller features two dual-
channel connectors that up to four Enhanced IDE devices, including CD-
ROM and Tape Backup Drives, as well as Hard Disk Drives supporting
the new UltraDMA/133 Mode 6 protocol, standard PIO Mode 3, PIO
Mode 4, DMA Mode 2, DMA Mode 4, UltraDMA/100 Mode 5 devices
are also supported.

Overview
nAGP and PCI Expansion Slots
One AGP Bus and six PCI Bus expansion slots provided the room to
install a full range of add-on cards.
nCompact Onboard Audio Subsystem
Built-in AC97 digital audio by Realtek ALC650 (5.1 channel) that com-
plaint with AC97 2.2 specification. It provides 5.1-channel which is slot
selectable DAC (Digital Analog Converter) output for multi-channel ap-
plications. It also supports digital SPDIF functions.
nSuper Multi Input/Output (I/O) Support

WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the
mainboard. When using an electric screwdriver on the
mainboard, make sure that the torque is set to the
allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.
Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated
Circuit (IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from
harming any of the sensitive components, you should
follow the following precautions whenever working on the
computer:
1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.
2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the
IC chips, leads, or circuitry.
3. Wear an anti-static wrist strap which fits around the
wrist.
4.Place components on a grounded anti-static pad or on
the bag that came with the component whenever the
components are separated from the system.
