Overview

Chapter 1

The new 1stMainboard®AM35is an Micro ATX sized motherboard sup-

porting the latest generation of AMD®processors at industry leading speeds.

By utilizing DDR ( Double Data Rate ) transfer rate the 100/133 MHz system

bus effectively reaches Front Side Bus speeds of 200/266 MHz. The board

provides users with anATA133 data transaction for hard drives and allows up

to2 GB memory totallyby 2 PC1600/PC2100 DIMMsockets.

The AM35 is based around the high performance V-link VIA ProSavageDDR

KM266corechipwithVIAVT8233AasaSouthBridge.TheAGP(2X/4X)

functions supported by KM266 provides you with a photo-realistic 3D expe-

rience suitable for the most robust 3D games and software environments.

AC97 Codec that embedded in VT8233A, ensures high quality sound effect.

The mainboard also comes equipped with the new NOVUS®range of innova-

tive features that assist in the installation and maintenance. The features in-

clude Easy Key, which provides instant keyboard access to the BIOS for

adjustments to Clock and Default settings and LogoGenie, which allows you

to create your own customized logo to be displayed during system boot up.

The BIOS Guardian is an Anti Virus utility that prevents viruses from damag-

ing your system BIOS and rendering your system inoperative.

Expansion is provided by 1 AGP(2X/4X) and 3 PCI slots. In addition, the

1stMainboard is equipped standard I/O connections include 2 serial ports (1

bypinheader), 1 parallelport,1 VGA port,1 PS/2 mouse andkeyboard connec-

tor, 4 USB ports (2 by pinheader), 1 IR port by pinheader, and 1 media connec-

tor (Line-In, Line-Out, Mic-In, 1 front audio, 1 game port).

IMPORTANT:AMDCPUHEATSINKINSTALLATION

Be ware finish heat sink install. Before you boot system, please

check the heat sink is complete contact with die of CPU.

The poor contact will bring about over heat, it may damage your

processor.

Itis stronglyrecommendedthat atleast a 250-wattATXpower pupply

be used for this motherboard. Make sure that your ATX power sup-

ply can supply at least 20 amperes on teh +5-Volt lead and 10mA

on the +5-Volt standby lead (+5VSB). Your system may become

unstable / unreliable and may experience difficulty in powering up if

your power supply is inadequate.

NOTE: CD Pro that contains patch files, onboard video/audio chip

drivers, related online help and other useful information can be

found in your mainboard package.

Please install it right after your Windows operating system installa-

tion is done.Place your CD Pro in the drive, an operating menu will

appears in your monitor. Please select Auto Installation. It will auto-

matically detect which software tools (patch files, drivers) that the

mainboard needs. Press OK button to go through the whole instal-

lation procedure in a very straight forward and easy way. It also

provides you with a custom way to select wanted patch files and

software drivers that for onboard chips use. The top menu of the

CD Pro lists all the functions that allowed by this board.

Onboard Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

The motherboard is installed one 32-bit 1.5V AGP(2X/4X) bus with a

dedicated 66MHz/133MHz path from the graphics card to the system

memory offering much greater bandwidth than the 32-bit PCI bus does.

AGP enabled 3D graphics cards can directly access main memory across

this fast path instead of using local memory.

WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the mainboard. When

using an electric screwdriver on the mainboard, make sure that

the torque is set to the allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.

Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit

(IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from harming any of the

sensitive components, you should follow the following precau-

tions whenever working on the computer:

1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.

2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC

||||chips, leads, or circuitry.
