Hardware Setup  
CPU (Central Processing Unit)  
The mainboard supports Intel® Core 2 Duo/ Core Duo/ Core Solo/ Celeron M/  
Celeron LV 423 BGA (with BGA Passive Cooler) processors in Socket M. When you  
are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan  
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and  
cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the  
computer.  
Important  
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make  
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.  
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)  
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.  
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the  
power supplys power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the  
safety of CPU.

command after receiving it. Smaller clocks increase system performance while  
bigger clocks provide more stable system performance.  
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay  
This field allows you to set the number of cycles for a timing delay between the  
CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from or  
refreshed. Fast speed offers faster performance while slow speed offers  
more stable performance.  
DRAM RAS# Precharge  
This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be  
allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate  
its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail  
to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the  
system.  
Precharge Delay (tRAS)  
The field specifies the idle cycles before precharging an idle bank.

Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes  
Number of Beeps  
1, 2 or 3  
Troubleshooting Action  
Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.  
Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system  
manufacturer. Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the  
possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion  
cards except the video adapter.  
4-7, 9-11  
If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult  
your system manufacturers technical support.  
If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion cards are absent, one  
of the add-in cards is causing the malfunction. Insert the cards back into the  
system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the  
malfunctioning card.  
8
If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter.  
If the video adapter is an integrated part of the system board, the board may be  
faulty.
