Installation Directions
=======================
To make the installation process as simple as possible, these step by step
directions provide basic instructions detailing how to set up each
component of the mainboard. For details or diagrams, please check the
corresponding sections.
1. Disconnect the computer's power supply. Any area of the mainboard you
plan to modify could be damaged by power input during the installation
process. Unplug all cables going into the PC before actually open the
case.
2. Open the computer case according to your original user manual. It is
better to use a magnetic screwdriver as screws inevitably will drop into
the case and may damage internal components.
Note: If your case is sealed and has a notice advising that breaking the
seal will invalidate the warranty, check with your dealer before
opening the case.
3. Connect connector J1 from the mainboard to the computer's outer case to
install the Reset Button, Hard Disk LED, Speaker System, Power LED, Power
on/off push button. Each switch, or set of pins on the mainboard, is
detailed on the previous page's layout diagram. Pay attention to the
correct orientation of tile cables and pins. If the LED wire is mounted
incorrectly, it will not light up. Please refer to page 2-1 jumpers and
connectors reference.
Note: The brightness of the power LED becomes dim when system is in
suspending mode.
4. Connect the peripheral cables from the floppy disk, mouse, printer, and
any other I/O devices to their appropriate port on the mainboard. Refer
to the diagram and pay attention to the orientation of each cable and
plug. On each cable, the pin 1 plug is denoted by a red wire.
Additionally, most peripheral plugs are flat on one side and notched on
the other to denote proper orientation. If a cable is plugged in upside
down, the hardware will not function and may be damaged.
Note that this mainboard has a specific PS/2 mouse port (labeled "Mouse").
Make sure you buy a PS/2 compatible mouse. If you have a different type
of mouse, You can still use the coml or com2 port to connect the mouse to
the computer, but in so doing will occupy a needed peripheral port.
5. The USB function is standard on all current Intel chipsets and is
supported on the W6BXA-0 mainboard. To connect the keyboard or mouse to
the mainboard, the hub plugs into the port on the case, and then connects
the keyboard or mouse. Like other peripheral cables, the red cable or
arrow corresponds to pin 1.
6. Here IR function only supports Sharp Ask-IR (pin 1- pin 5), and Consumer
IR (pin 6-Pin 10) is reserved for I/O chips (support consumer IR) to use.
7. You are advised not to setjunper JP2 for the Flash ROM Voltage unless you
want to change the flash ROM chip. It has already been preinstalled and
preset for you by the manufacturer.
8. The CMOS Resetjumper JP4 is also already set for you. Reset the jumper
only if you want to delete your previous CMOS setup. Whenever you modify
the values of the CMOS items, don't forget to reboot the system.
9). Please refer to chapter 4 "Mounting CPU Diagram" to install CPU. If the
default value of CPU is not available, press the "Ins" key and then
power on. The system will display "Low Speed Type" and allow you to
reset CMOS.
