Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard

This BH6 motherboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic

personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future

upgrade demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all the standard

equipment and will also present, as completely as possible, future upgrade

capabilities. This motherboard is able to support all IntelPentiumII/III

processors and IntelCeleron™processor now on the market. (For details, see

specifications in Chapter 1.)

This chapter is organized according the following features:

 Installing the Motherboard to the Casing

 Standard external connectors

 Jumpers and switches

(4) Installation of the PentiumII/III, Celeron™CPU

(5) Installing the system memory

Before proceeding with the installation

Before installing the motherboard please be sure to turn off or disconnect the

power supply unit. Before making any modifications to the hardware

configuration of the motherboard, the power supply to any areas of the

motherboard you plan to modify should be turned off to avoid unnecessary

damage to the hardware.

User friendly instructions

Our objective is to enable the novice computer user to perform the installation

by themselves. We have attempted to write this document in a very clear,

concise and descriptive manner to help overcome any obstacles you may face

during installation. Please read our instructions carefully and follow them

step-by-step.

 Installing the Motherboard to the Casing

Most computer chassis will have a base on which there will be many mounting

holes that allows the motherboard to be securely attached and at the same time,

prevents short circuits.

There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the base of chassis:

!with stud

!or with spacer

Please refer the figure below show the studs and spacers, they may have several

types, but all look like the figure below:

In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with studs, and only if

you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Take a

careful look at the motherboard and you will see many mounting holes on it.

Line these holes up with the mounting holes on the base. If the holes line up,

and there are screw holes this means you can attach the motherboard with studs.

If the holes line up and there are only slots, this means you can only attach the

motherboard with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert it into the slots.

After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the motherboard into position

aligned with the slots. After the motherboard has been positioned, check to

make sure everything is OK before putting the casing back on.

The figure below will show you the way to fix the motherboard using with the

stub and spacer:
