3.3 Getting Started

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.

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

• Check Motherboard Settings
• Install Memory Modules
• Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• Install Expansion Cards
• Connect Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires, and Power Supply
