2.5 Installing Hardware

DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidentally scratch of a tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the motherboard. In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to these notices: 1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is recommended. 2. Never touch the contact pins with fingers or any object. 3. Always put on the cap when the CPU is not in use.

2.5.1 CPU Socket 775

1. Place the board so as to let the lever-hook of the socket is on your left side. Use your left thumb and forefinger to hold the lever hook, pull it away from the retention tab. Rotate the lever to fully open position.
2. Use your right thumb on the bottom-right side of the load plate and lift it up to fully open position.
3. Use your right thumb and forefinger to grasp the CPU package. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the substrate, and face the Pin-1 indicator toward the bottom-left side. Aim at the socket and place the CPU package vertical down into the socket.
4. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. The alignment key must be located in the notch of package.
5. Use your left hand to hold the load plate, and use your right thumb to peel the cap off.
The cap plays an important role in protecting contact pins. In order to prevent bent pin, PUT ON the cap after operation or testing.
6. Lower the plate onto the CPU package. Engage the load lever while gently pressing down the load plate.
7. Secure the lever with the hook under retention tab.
8. Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto the socket. Align the four fasteners toward the four mounting holes on the motherboard.
9. Press each of the four fasteners down into the mounting holes. Rotate the fastener clock-wise to lock the heatsink and fan assembly into position.
10. Attach the four-pin power plug from the heatsink and fan assembly to the CPU FAN connector.

2.6 Connecting Peripheral Devices
2.6.1 Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors
The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1 on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector. Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your system. The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1 port and the floppy connector. Each of the IDE port connects up to two IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one 40-pin, 80-conductor, and 3-connector Ultra ATA/66 ribbon cables. Connect the single end (blue connector) at the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE port of this board, the other two ends (gray and black connector) at the shorter length of the ribbon cable to the connectors of your hard drives. Make sure to configure the Master and Slave relation before connecting two drives by one single ribbon cable. The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the IDE port and the hard-drive connector.
2.6.2 Serial ATA Connectors
Each SATA connector serves as one single channel to connect one SATA device by SATA cable. The disk array for RAID configuration is also provided: SATA1~SATA4: Available for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 configuration. SATA5~SATA6: Available for RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration. (For model AW9D-MAX only) SATA7, eSATA1: Available for RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration. (For model AW9D-MAX only)

2.7 Onboard Indicators and Buttons
2.7.1 POST Code Displayer
This is an LED device to display the POST Code, the acronym for Power On Self Test. The computer will execute the POST action whenever you power on the computer. The POST process is controlled by the BIOS. It is used to detect the status of the computers main components and peripherals. Each POST Code corresponds to different checkpoints that are also defined by the BIOS in advance. For example, memory presence test is an important checkpoint and its POST Code is C1. When the BIOS execute any POST item, it will write the corresponding POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST passes, the BIOS will process the next POST item and write the next POST Code into the address 80h. If the POST fails, we can check the POST Code in address 80h to find out where the problem lies. This LED device also displays the POST Code of AC2005, an uGuru chipset developed exclusively by Universal ABIT. The decimal point lights up during the AC2005 POST action.
