Checking Jumper Settings
This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the moth
Setting Jumpers
Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
the correct pins.
The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When
the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the
jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper
cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin,
the jumper is OPEN.
This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pins
1 and 2 are SHORT
SHORT OPEN
Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard

Users please note that the 20-pin and 24-pin power cables can both be
to the ATX1 connector. With the 20-pin power cable, just align the 20-
cable with the pin 1 of the ATX1 connector. However, using 20-pin po
may cause the system to become unbootable or unstable because of in
electricity. A minimum power of 300W is recommended for a fully-c
system.

Installing the Motherboard
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 motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the
motherboard or its components.
On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resisto
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing
Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that yo
see the motherboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency an
frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by
settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do n
processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Over-clocking components can adversely affect the
the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-cloc
permanently damage the motherboard by generating excess
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This motherboard has a Socket 939 processor socket. When choosing a proc
the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the pro
the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quant
cache memory and external cache memory.
Installing the Motherboard
1 Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the
socket and lift up to 90-degree angle.
2 Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin
hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU
correctly.
3 Press the lever down and apply thermal grease on
top of the CPU.
4 Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and
snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into
place.
5 Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place and
connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the
CPUFAN connector. This completes the installa-
tion.
Installing Memory Modules
K8T890-A accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data Rate (DDR
(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) memory modules. K8T890-A
port DDR400/333/266 memory types and its total maximum memory size is 2

their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Alwa
grounding strap when you handle the modules.
DDR SDRAM memory module table
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest th
a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsin
tion procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supp
form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
Memory module Memory Bus
DDR400 200MHz
DDR266 133MHz
DDR333 166MHz
Notes: 1. When running dual channel mode, install only same (same density, DRA
technology and DRAM bus width) module for each deal channel.
2. Please note that those types not in the Table B (p.16) will not boot up
Installing the Motherboard
3 Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
4 Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector matc
in the DIMM slot.
5 Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down
correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the DIMM.
