1.2 Motherboard Layout ※ The motherboard and its component layouts illustrated in this manual were mainly based on model “IN9 32X-MAX”, unless specifically stated. For model “IN9 32X”, still you may refer to “IN9 32X-MAX”. They both have the same location and definition in headers, connectors, and jumpers, except a different chipset heatsink assembly. 1-2 IN9 32X/IN9 32X -MAX

1.5 Checking Jumper Settings • 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 SHORT OPEN OPEN leave it at OPEN position. • For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in. Pin 1~2 SHORT Pin 2~3 SHORT 1.5.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrup

Hardware Setup CMOS Backup Battery: 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: 1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC p

1.6 Connecting Chassis Components 1.6.1 ATX Power Connectors These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these connectors. ATXPWR1: ATX 24-Pin Power Connector The power supply with 20-pin or 24-pin cables can both be connected to this 24-pin connector. Connect from pin-1 for either type. However, a 20-pin power supply may cause the system unstable or ev

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.

Hardware Setup 1.6.4 Additional Cooling Fan for NB Heatsink To attach an additional chipset cooling fan for model “IN9 32X-MAX”: Inside the motherboard package you can find a pair of retention clips. These retention clips are used to fasten an additional cooling-fan attached onto the north bridge heatsink to blow away the heatwave radiated from the heatsink. As shown in the photo, you will have to buy an additional three-wire cooling fan in 40x40x10mm size: (You may have to consider

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 wit

1.7.2 DDR2 Memory Slots • To reach the optimum performance in dual-channel configurations, install identical DDR2 DIMM pairs for each channel. • Install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. To reach the optimum compatibility, obtain memory modules from the same vendor. ※ Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required 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: 1.
