3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure

IMPORTANT:

Due to Pentium 4 CPU’s power consumption requirement, an

ATX12V power supply is recommended for this motherboard. For typical system
configurations, an ATX12V power supply that can supply at least 230W and at least
8.5A on the +12V lead is required. For heavily-loaded configurations, an ATX12V
power supply that can supply at least 300W is required.

Complete the following steps before using your computer:

1. Check motherboard settings
2. Install memory modules
3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4. Install Expansion Cards
5. Connect ribbon cables, panel wires, and power supply cables
6. Configure the BIOS parameter settings

WARNING!

Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or

removing system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
your motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
