BIOSTAR Motherboard

Section 5. Installation and Setup

In this section, you will learn how to install the CPU, DDR

Module, and also how to set up jumpers and all the information

about the components on the motherboard. Not only can you find

the installation steps, but also the details and locations of the

components on the motherboard.

1. CPU Installation

The motherboard supports VIA processor in the 754 pin package. The

motherboard uses a CPU socket called PGA754 for easy CPU installation. When you

are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooling fan attached on the right to

prevent overheating. If you do not find the cooling fan, contact your dealer and make

sure to install them before turning on the computer.

Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should

point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the

correct orientation.

Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever.

Step4: Put the CPU fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan

power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2 Central Processing Unit: CPU

These fan headers support cooling fans built in the computer. Orient the fans to

make the heat sink fins to allow air flow to go across the onboard heat sinks instead of

the expansion slots. The fan wiring and plug may be different according to the fan

manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to

the ground pin.
