Choose a chassis big enough to install this motherboard.

As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the features required.

If there is a possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has sufficient power and space for them.

Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.

1.4 Installing Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be securely attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers. Basically, the best way to attach the board is with studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on.

Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully checked everything. Locate all the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis base.

Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.

Face the motherboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.

Line up all the motherboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis.

Install the motherboard with screws and have them tightened.

To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with. IP35 Pro Face the chassis’s rear panel. To install this motherboard:

1.3 Choosing a Computer Chassis

For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position. SHORT OPEN OPEN Pin 1~2 SHORT Pin 2~3 SHORT For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in.

1.5.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery

The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d) whenever there is modification on the CPU or memory modules. This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it reconfigured to the default values stored in BIOS.

Pins 1 and 2 shorted (Default): Normal operation.

Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory. To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:

Power off the system.

Set pin 2 and pin 3 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper cap back to its default settings --- pin 1 and pin 2 shorted.

Power on the system.

For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup menu right after powering on system.

Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value.

Another easy way to clear the CMOS memory can be done by switching “EZ-CCMOS1”, see the section of “Connecting Rear Panel I/O Devices” in this manual for detail. The C.C. POST Code appears when either the external “EZ-CCMOS1” switch or the internal “CCMOS1” jumper is not set to its normal position. 1-4 IP35 Pro

An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to be renewed. To renew the backup battery:

Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source.

Remove the exhausted battery.

Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The “+” side is its positive polarity.

Connect AC power source and power on the system.

Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed.

Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.

Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions. IP35 Pro 1-5 Hardware Setup CMOS Backup Battery:

1.6 Connecting Chassis Components

1.6.1 Power Connectors

These connectors provide the connection from an ATX12V power supply. As the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these foolproof-designed connectors. For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply of ATX12V 2.0 (or newer) specification compliant and of providing minimum 400W power output capability. For a fully configured system with two PCI Express X16 cards installed, a power supply with minimum 500W or more power output is recommended.

The following motherboard photos are served for DEMO only, and may not be the same type or model as the one described in this user’s manual. [ATXPWR1]: 24-pin power connector You may connect either a 20-pin (ATX12V 1.3) or 24-pin (ATX12V 2.0) power source. However, it is recommended to connect the 24-pin ATX12V power source to meet the 240VA protection limits. Plugged from a 24-pin ATX12V power. Plugged from a 20-pin ATX12V power.

[ATX4P1]: Auxiliary 12V power connector This connector provides an auxiliary power source for devices added on PCI Express slots. 1-6 IP35 Pro Hardware Setup

1.6.2 Front Panel Switches & Indicators Headers

This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel. Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention when connecting these headers. A wrong orientation will only result in the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction. HLED (Pin 1, 3): Connects to the HDD LED cable of chassis front panel. RST (Pin 5, 7): Connects to the Reset Switch cable of chassis front panel. SPKR (Pin 13, 15, 17, 19): Connects to the System Speaker cable of chassis. SLED (Pin 2, 4): Connects to the Suspend LED cable (if there is one) of chassis front panel. PWR (Pin 6, 8): Connects to the Power Switch cable of chassis front panel. PLED (Pin 16, 18, 20): Connects to the Power LED cable of chassis front panel.

1.6.3 FAN Power Connectors

These connectors each provide power to the cooling fans installed in your system.

CPUFAN1: CPU Fan Power Connector

AUXFAN1~4: Auxiliary Fan Power Connector

Either a 3-pin or 4-pin CPU cooling fan connected to the “CPUFAN1” connector is still capable of having its fan speed controlled. Please refer to the BIOS setup route: “PC Health Status” “ABIT FanEQ Control” “CPU FAN Type” to select the one of your own.

These fan connectors are not jumpers. DO NOT place jumper caps on these connectors. IP35 Pro 1-7

1.7 Installing Hardware

DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidental 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.

1.7.1 CPU Socket 775

The installation procedures vary with different types of CPU fan-and-heatsink assembly. The one shown here is served for demo only. For detailed information on how to install the one you bought, refer to its installation guidelines.

1. Place the board so that 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 to raise the load

plate. Lift it up to fully open position. 1-8

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. IP35 Pro Hardware Setup

5. Use your left hand to hold the load plate,

and use your right thumb to peel the cap off.

8. Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto

the socket. Align the four fasteners toward the four mounting holes on the motherboard. The cap plays an important role in protecting contact pins. In order to prevent bent pin, PUT ON the cap after operation or testing.

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.

6. Lower the plate onto the CPU package.

Engage the load lever while gently pressing down the load plate.

10. Attach the four-pin power plug from the

heatsink and fan assembly to the CPU FAN connector.

7. Secure the lever with the hook under

A higher fan speed will be helpful for better airflow and heat-dissipation. Nevertheless, stay alert to not touch any heatsink since a high temperature generated by the working system is still possible. IP35 Pro 1-9

1.7.2 DDR2 Memory Slots

To reach the performance of Dual Channel DDR2, the following rules must be obeyed:

For a 2-DIMM dual-channel installation: Populate DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3], or slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].

For a 4-DIMM dual-channel installation: Populate 2 DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3], and another 2 DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].

[DIMM1] and [DIMM3] slots are made of the same color. [DIMM2] and [DIMM4] are made of another same color. Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup requires after adding or removing memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any memory module related problem occurs. To install system memory:

Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules.

Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from touching its connectors.

Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.

Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly. 1-10 IP35 Pro This motherboard provides dual PCI Express X16 slots for one or two graphics cards installation of graphics cards that comply with PCI Express specifications. One PCI Express graphics card installation: Insert your PCI Express graphics card into slot [PCIEXP1].

Do not install only one PCI Express graphics card on slot [PCIEXP2], for such an act will pull its speed down to x4 only. Two PCI Express graphics cards installation: Install the master graphics card into slot [PCIEXP1]. Install the slave graphics card into slot [PCIEXP2].

Both the graphics cards must be of the same GPU family.

Make sure your power supply is sufficient to provide the minimum power required. (For a fully configured system with two PCI Express X16 cards installed, a power supply with minimum 500W or more power output is recommended.)

Refer to the instruction guide that came with the graphics card on how to run its dual display mode. IP35 Pro 1-11 Hardware Setup

1.9.1 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 computer’s 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 abit.

The decimal point lights up during the AC2005 POST action. See Appendix for both AWARD and AC2005 POST Code definitions. IP35 Pro 1-19 Hardware Setup

5.2 Troubleshooting (How to Get Technical Support?)

Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my new computer system? A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard. Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the user's manual to load the optimized defaults. Q: If my system hangs when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters, what should I do? A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters setting, always clear CMOS jumper before booting up again. Q: Why does the system fail to boot up again right after a mechanical power-off? A: Please keep a 30-second interval between each mechanical power On/Off. Q: Why does the system fail to boot up and nothing displays on the screen after I did some over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS? A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings were changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status. We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover the hardware default status, and then making the motherboard work again. There is no need to bother returning the motherboard to where you bought it from or go through an RMA process. Step 1. Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If there is no power-switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for one minute and then reconnect. Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, and press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, release the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page to apply the correct settings. If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 three times, or try Step 2. Step 2. Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis cover. Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper position from default 1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and then put it back to default 1-2 position. Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord. Press the power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page to do the correct settings. If the situation remains the same, try Step 3. IP35 Pro 5-5 Appendix Step 3. The same procedure as Step 2, but while discharging the CMOS data, pull out the ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during CMOS discharge. Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support? A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending “Technical Support Form”: System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled: Check the motherboard’s supporting specifications first to see if all the key components attached in your system can meet.
