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.

Hardware Setup

IN9 32X/IN9 32X-MAX 1-3

1.3 Choosing a Computer Chassis

• Choose a chassis big enough to install this motherboard.

• As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the

motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis

supports all the features required.

• If there is a possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has

sufficient power and space for them.

• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O

shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find

an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package.

1.4 Installing Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many

mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be

securely attached, and at the same time, prevent

the system from short circuits. There are two

ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis

base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers.

Basically, the best way to attach the board is

with studs. Only if you are unable to do this

should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting

holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board

with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take

the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can

slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to

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

※ Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or

removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage

to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after

you have carefully checked everything.

To install this motherboard:

1. Locate all the screw holes on the

motherboard and the chassis base.

2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on

the chassis base and have them tightened.

3. Face the motherboard’s I/O ports toward

the chassis’s rear panel.

4. Line up all the motherboard’s screw holes

with those studs or spacers on the chassis.

5. Install the motherboard with screws and

have them tightened.

※ To prevent shorting the PCB circuit,

please REMOVE the metal studs or

spacers if they are already fastened

on the chassis base and are without

mounting-holes on the motherboard

to align with.

Face the chassis’s rear panel.

1-4 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

leave it at OPEN position.

SHORT OPEN

OPEN

• 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 corrupted, (b) you forgot the

supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu,

(c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the

CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu,

or (d) whenever there is modification on the CPU or

memory modules.

This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS

memory and have it reconfigured to the default values

stored in BIOS.

• Pins 1 and 2 shorted

(Default): Normal

operation.

• Pins 2 and 3 shorted:

Clear CMOS memory.

To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values:

1. Power off the system.

2. Set pin 2 and pin 3 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper

cap back to its default settings --- pin 1 and pin 2 shorted.

3. Power on the system.

4. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press <Del> key to enter the BIOS

setup menu right after powering on system.

5. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value.

6. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu.

※ Another easy way to clear the CMOS memory can be done by switching

“EZ-CCMOS1”, see the section of “Connecting Rear Panel I/O Devices” in this

manual for detail.

※ The C.C. POST Code appears when either the external “EZ-CCMOS1” switch or

the internal “CCMOS1” jumper is not set to its normal position.

Hardware Setup

IN9 32X/IN9 32X-MAX 1-5

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 power source.

2. Remove the exhausted battery.

3. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The “+” side is its

positive polarity.

4. Connect AC power source and power on the system.

5. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if necessary.

CAUTION:

※ Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed.

※ Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery

manufacturer.

※ Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

1-6 IN9 32X/IN9 32X -MAX

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 even unbootable for the sake of insufficient electricity. A minimum power of 300W

or higher is recommended.
