Chapter 2

Hardware Setup

This chapter includes sections of setting up jumpers on the

motherboard, the system memory configuration, the cache

memory configuration, and attaching the connectors. Refer

back to this chapter when you need to upgrade or

reconfigure your system and remember to turn off the

power of the system as well as all peripheral devices before

performing any work on the system.

Symbols used in this chapter are described below:

For 2-pin jumper:

Ð Close the jumper by inserting the jumper

cap over the two pins of the jumper.

Ð Open the jumper by removing the

jumper cap.

For 3-pin jumper:

123

Ð Close pins 1 and 2 with an jumper cap.

123

Ð Close pins 2 and 3 with an jumper cap.

CPU Type Configuration

Set the motherboard jumpers JP9, JP10 and JP1~JP3

according to the CPU type as shown in the following

figures.

System Memory Configuration

This 82440FX motherboard supports 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB,

8MB, 16MB, or 32MB to form a memory size between 8MB

to 384MB. Each bank must have 2 pcs of DRAM modules

(w/i same size and type) installed. 82440FX chipsets

provide ÒTable-FreeÓ function. It means that users can

install DRAM with any configuration and in any bank, and

that is why the DRAM table is not needed.

Cooling FAN Settings

Note: Install a fan facing the heat sink, for better cooling effect,

Installation

1. Place CPU into your socket and put CPU cooler on top of

CPU as shown in the following drawing. Slide one side

hole of clip into the key way of the socket, then

2. Press another side hole of clip and slide into socket key

way as shown in the following drawing

3. Complete the installation.
