[. . . ] Caution! When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to both the mainboard and the processor. On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed. Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. [. . . ] When you first start up your system, go immediately to the BIOS Setup Utility and use Standard CMOS Setup to configure the floppy diskette drives that you have installed.

PCI Slots: The PCI slots can be used to install add-in cards that have the 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect) interface. 4xAGP Slot: The 4xAGP can be used to install a graphics adapter that supports the 4xAGP specification and has the 4xAGP edge connector. CNR Slot: The CNR1 slot is for installing all types of CNR (Communications Networking Riser) cards, including LAN, modem, and Codec cards. You can install an expansion card into either the CNR slot or PCI 6, but you cannot use both slots at the same time.

Before installing an expansion card, check the documentation for the card. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation. In the system case, remove the blanking plate from the slot in the system case that corresponds to the expansion slot that you are going to use. Position the edge connector of the add-in card over the expansion slot. Position the metal bracket of the card in the empty slot in the system case. Install the edge connector of the add-in card into the expansion slot. Press down quite firmly so that you are sure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot. Secure the metal bracket of the card in the empty slot, in the system case, with a screw. For some add-in cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-in card.

Connect the cable from the optional IR port to SIR1 (for SIR infrared). After you have connected the cable, secure the optional IR port to the appropriate location on your system case. Note: An IR port may use some of the resources required by a second serial port or a fax/modem card. If you have more than one of these items installed, you may not be able to use them at the same time. You can use the Peripherals page of the Setup Utility to switch resources between an IR port and a second serial port. See Chapter 3 for more information. USB1: Extra USB Port Header Some cases come with USB ports on the front panel. If your case has these ports, you can connect them to the USB1 header. WOL1: Wake on LAN If you have installed a LAN/modem card, you can use the cable provided with the card to plug into the WOL1 connector on the mainboard. When your system is in a power­saving mode, any incoming calls to the LAN automatically resume the system. [. . . ] For this mainboard, you can use AWD7XX. EXE (where xx is the version number). To use the utility, you must be in real-mode DOS (not the DOS box that is available in Windows 95/98/NT). If you are using WINDOWS 95/98, shut down your computer and select the option Restart in DOS in the shutdown dialog box. If you are running Windows NT, shut down your computer and boot from a DOS diskette temporarily in order to run the flash memory utility. [. . . ]
