We will now begin the installation of the Motherboard. Please follow the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct installation. Warning: Turn off the power to the Motherboard, system chassis, and peripheral devices before performing any work on the Motherboard or system.

BEGIN THE INSTALLATION

Step 1. CPU Installation
Your SY-6ZB motherboard comes with a CPU retention set kit. The retention set is used to hold the processor attached to the Slot 1 CPU connector on the motherboard. Follow these instructions to install your Slot 1 processor correctly. Retention Module
1. Open the two sides by folding them up.
Push the locks on top of the CPU inward.
Insert the CPU into the retention module. The CPU fits in the CPU slot in only ONE way, do not try to force it in.
After completely inserting the CPU, push the two locks on top of the CPU outward. Now your CPU is ready for use.
To remove the CPU, press the two notches on top of the CPU inward. Now press the two slides on the retention module down and remove the CPU.
Note: Installing a heat sink and cooling fan on top of your CPU is necessary for proper heat dissipation. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and possible burn-out of your CPU.
Step 2. CPU Fan Installation
Your Slot 1 processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on the processor according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU. Note: Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power source.
Step 3. SDRAM Memory Module Installation
This Motherboard features 2 x DIMM Banks for 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered two DIMM modules. Your board comes with two DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 256MB of main memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 128MB. For 66MHz front side bus CPUs use 12ns or faster memory; for 100MHz front side bus CPUs use 8ns (100MHz, PC100 compliant) memory. Number of Memory Modules RAM Type Memory Module Size (MB) DIMM 1 1st 1st SDRAM 8/16/32/64/128 Mbytes 2nd DIMM 2
Important: It is of prime importance that you install DIMM modules as outlined in the table above in order to preserve signal integrity on 100MHz front side bus systems.

Step 7. External Peripherals Connections
External devices such as the keyboard, printer, PS/2 mouse, modem, USB can be connected to the Motherboard. Normally, you can not plug your devices directly onto the Motherboard, except for the keyboard that plugs directly into the back panel KB connector. For other parallel (PRT1) and serial devices (COM1, COM2), first install the external connectors that come with your Motherboard on the computer case, then plug the other end of the flat cable to their respective connectors. Only after you have fixed and locked the Motherboard and external connectors to the computer case can you start connecting the external peripheral devices. When connecting an external device, use the following figure to locate and identify which back panel connector to plug the device or flat cable to.
1. Serial Ports COM1/COM2 External peripherals that use serial transmission scheme include serial mouse and modem. Your motherboard comes with two types of serial connectors with flat cables: one 9-pin male external connector with 9-pin flat cable one 25-pin male external connector with 9-pin flat cable Plug the 9-pin end of the flat cable into the COM1 or COM2 serial connector on the motherboard, as shown in the figure below, then fix the external 9-pin or 25-pin connector to the rear panel of the computer case. Then plug your serial device cable directly into the 9-pin or 25-pin male connector located at the back of your computer.

Step 12. ATX Power Supply
Plug the connector from the power directly into the 20-pin male ATX PW connector on the Motherboard, as shown in the following figure.

ATX Power

Warning: Follow these precautions to preserve your Motherboard from any remnant currents when connecting to ATX power supply: Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord of the ATX power supply before connecting to ATX PW connector. The Motherboard requires a power supply with at least 200 Watts and a "power good" signal. Make sure the ATX power supply can take at least 720 mA * load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard ATX specification. * Note: If you use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function, make sure the ATX power supply can support at least 720 mAmp on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB). Please install the ATX power according to the following pin assignment: ATX Power
12V 5VSB PW-OK GND 5V GND 5V GND 3.3V 3.3V 5V 5V -5V GND GND GND PS-ON GND -12V 3.3V
Pay special care to the directionality.
Step 13. Step 14. AT Power Supply
If you are using AT power, plug the dual 6-pin headers from the power directly into the 12-pin male AT Power connector on the motherboard. Make sure the black leads of the 6-pin AT power headers are in the center. 23
Step 14. CMOS Clearing (JP5)
After you have turned off your computer, clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pins 2-3 on jumper JP5, for a few seconds. Then restore JP5 to the initial 1-2 jumper setting in order to recover and retain the default settings. Jumper JP5 can be easily identified by its white colored cap. CMOS Clearing JP5 Setting Clear CMOS Data Retain CMOS Data
Short pin 1-2 Short pin 2-3 for at least 5 seconds to retain new settings to clear the CMOS Note: You must unplug the ATX power cable from the ATX power connector when performing the CMOS Clear operation.
Step 15. Power-On by Keyboard Jumper (JP50)
You can choose to enable the Power-On by Keyboard function by shorting pin 1-2 on jumper JP50, otherwise, short pin 2-3 to disable this function. Power-On by Keyboard JP50 Setting Enable Short pin 1-2 to enable the Power-On by Keyboard function.
Disable Short pin 2-3 and the Power-On by Keyboard function is disabled.

Note: When using the Power-On by Keyboard function, please make sure the ATX power supply can take at least 720mA load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard ATX specification.
Step 16. Set SW1 for power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock.
SW1 is used to adjust AGP bus clock frequency depending on the value of the front side bus (FSB) clock, also the setting of the SW1 determines the power up FSB clock which will remain effective until the BIOS set the FSB clock to the CMOS setting. SW1 Setting Power up FSB Clock 66MHz 100MHz AGP Clock AGP Clock = FSB Clock 1 AGP Clock = FSB Clock 1.5
Note: The specification of maximum AGP bus Clock frequency is 66.6MHz.
Set SW1 to open when you use a FSB 100MHz CPU. Set SW1 to close when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU. Set SW1 to open when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU but want to over clock the FSB clock to 100MHz via the BIOS setting.
