Features
1-1. Features of KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID Motherboard
This motherboard is designed for AMD Socket A Athlon™XP, Athlon™and Duron™CPUs. It supports
the AMD Socket-A structure, with up to 2 GB (KG7-Lite Only) or 3.5 GB (KG7/KG7-RAID Only) of
memory, super I/O, and Green PC functions.
The KG7-Lite /KG7/KG7-RAID uses the AMD 761™chipset to make the evolutionary move from PC
100/PC 133 SDRAM to PC 1600/PC 2100 DDR SDRAM, increasing the speed of the system and
memory buses from 100 MHz to 133 MHz. Its’ 200 MHz /266 MHz memory interface supports the wide
range of PC 1600/PC 2100 DDR SDRAM memory devices now on the market.
AMD-761™is a system bus controller, or northbridge, that houses the high-speed system elements critical
to overall system performance while also containing the system interface to the processor. The key
functions of the AMD-761™System Controller include the 266 MHz Athlon System Bus, the 266 MHz
DDR Memory Subsystem, the AGP 4X/2X/1X modes Graphics Interface (AGP 2.0 Compliant) and the
33 MHz/32-bit PCI Bus Interface (PCI 2.2 Compliant), including arbiter.
DDR SDRAM is the newest memory standard, it provides the maximum translation bandwith and also
greatly improves data transaction delays. This feature improves whole system performance and speed,
especially multimedia environment applications.
The KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID has a built in Ultra DMA 100 function. This means that it provides
speedier HDD throughput boosting overall system performance. Ultra DMA 100 is the new standard for
IDE devices. It enhances existing Ultra DMA 33 technology by increasing both performance and data
integrity. This new high-speed interface almost doubles the Ultra DMA 66 burst data transfer rate to 100
Mbytes/sec. The result is maximum disc performance using the current PCI local bus environment.
Another benefit is you can connect four IDE devices in your system through either Ultra DMA 66 or
Ultra DMA 100. You will have more flexibility to expand your computer system.
KG7-RAID’s built-in HighPoint HPT 370A chipset gives you the capability to support Ultra DMA 100.
Ultra DMA 100 is the newest standard for IDE devices. It provides two IDE channels (IDE3, IDE4) that
also support Ultra DMA 100 specifications, and it allows for four additional IDE devices in your
computer system. It can give you high performance and efficiency data transfer rate through the IDE
channels. This also means that your computer, in total, can connect up to eight IDE devices (IDE1 ~
IDE4). This allows for maximum expandability for future hardware demands. This chipset also supports
IDE RAID, inlcuding RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1. This feature enables you to maximize your data
storage performance and security. (KG7-RAID Only)
KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID provides high flexibility to users building AMD Socket A Athlon™XP,
Athlon™and Duron™systems. It provides the option of 133 MHz/133 MHz CPU and memory bus
combinations.
The KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID has built-in hardware monitoring functions (refer to Appendix C for
detailed information) to ensure a safe computing environment.

$ PCI slot 5 shares IRQ signals with the HPT 370A IDE controller (supports Ultra DMA 100).
The driver for HPT 370A IDE controller supports IRQ sharing with other PCI devices. But if
you install a PCI card that doesn’t allow IRQ sharing with other devices into PCI slot 5, you
may encounter some problems. Furthermore, if your Operating System doesn’t allow
peripheral devices to share IRQ signals with each other, such as Windows®NT for example,
you can’t install a PCI card into PCI slot 5. (KG7-RAID Only)
$ HPT 370A IDE controller is designed to support high-speed and high performance mass

User Friendly Instructions
Please read our instructions carefully and follow them step-by-step. Our objective is to enable the novice
computer user to perform the installation by himself. 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.
Diagram and Photos
This chapter contains many color drawings, diagrams and photos, we strongly recommend you read this
chapter use the PDF file that is stored on the CD-Title. Color improves the clarity and quality of the
diagrams. For the downloadable edition, as files larger than 3 MB are difficult to download, we will cut
the graphics and photo resolution to reduce the manual file size. In such this case, if your manual is
downloaded from our WEB site and not from a CD-ROM, enlarging graphics or photos will distort the
image.

2-1. Installing the Motherboard to the Chassis
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 studs
!or with spacers
Please refer to figure 2-1, which shows the studs and spacers. There may be several types, but all look
like the figures below:
In principle, the best way to attach the motherboard is with
studs. 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 them 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.
Figure 2-2 shows you the way to affix the motherboard
using studs or spacers.
Note
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, don’t worry, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just
cut the bottom portion of spacers (the spacer they may be a little hard to cut, so be careful with your
hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact
any the printed circuit wire or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage
the board or cause board malfunctioning.

2-2. Installation of the AMD Athlon™XP, Athlon™and Duron™
CPU
Note
!Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for heat to dissipate from your processor. Failing
to install these items may result in overheating and processor damage.
!The AMD Socket A processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, so you need to use a large
heat sink that is especially designed for the AMD socket A processor. Otherwise, it may result in
overheating and processor damage.
!If your processor fan and its power cable are not installed properly, never plug the ATX power
cable into the motherboard. This can prevent possible processor damage.
!Please refer to your processor installation manual or other documentation with your processor for
detailed installation instructions.
The AMD Socket A Athlon™XP, Athlon™and Duron™processor installation is easy, like Socket 7
Pentium®processors before. Because it uses the “Socket A” ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket, you can
easily fix the processor firmly into position. Figure 2-3 shows you what the socket A looks like, and how
to open the lever. The socket A has more pins than the socket 7. Therefore, a Pentium level processor
cannot be inserted into a socket A.
When you raise the lever, you have to loosen the socket lock. Please raise the lever to the end, and
prepare to insert the processor. Next, you need to align the processor pin 1 to the socket pin 1. If you put
it in the wrong direction, you will not be able to insert the processor easily, and processor pins will not
fully go into the socket. If this is the case, please change the direction, until it easily and fully inserts into
the socket A. See Figure 2-4. At the same time check the processor temperature detection thermistor
height (if your motherboard has this component), then you can slowly insert the processor into the Scoket
A. Finally, you need to check that the processor edge and the Socket A edge is parallel. It should be
parallel and not tilted.
When you finish the above, push the lever down to its original position, you should feel the lever lock the
socket A. You have then finished the processor installation.

Heatsink Installation Hints
Because the processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, we suggest you use a heatsink approved
by AMD to be safe and to keep the processor temperature within normal operation temperatures. The
heatsink will be large and heavy, so the fixing plate has a strong tension. When you install the heatsink on
to the processor and its socket, you have to very carefully fix the fixing plate to the processor socket hook
on both sides. If you do not pay attention to this, you may make the fixing plate scratch the PCB surface
and cause circuit damage, break socket hooks or damage the die on the top of processor.
Please follow the sequence metioned below, Do Not
inverse the sequence. Otherwise, you may have a
situation like the photo on the left. Because of the
design of the CPU socket, the left side hooks are not
as strong as the right side hooks. If you follow our
suggestions you will prevent your processor and
socket from damage.
Note
Considering the chassis structure problem, please
always take off the motherboard from chassis,
before adding or removing a heatsink kit.
The proper procedure to install the heatsink kit:
First, install the processor into the processor socket.
Insert the heatsink left side fix plate into the
processor socket left side fix hooks. Make sure the fit
is very tight. Check the photo on the left.

Installing the Motherboard
User’s Manual
2-5
Insert a flat screwdriver into the middle slot of the
right side fix plate and push down. Then you can
push the fix plate over the socket hooks on the right
side. Check the photo on the left.
Check the photo on the left. You have finished the
heatsink installation.
Now hold the whole heatsink and slightly shake it,
make sure the buttom right side of the heaksink does
not contact the right side of the Socket (see bottom
picture). Otherwise, the processor die does not have
proper contact with the heatsink. This situation may
cause processor damage.
Remember to install the heatsink fan power cable to
the CPU fan header on the motherboard.
Now you can reinstall the motherboard back into the
chassis.
When all above procedures done, you can connect
the ATX power cable to the motherboard.
If you have different types of heatsink kit, please
refer to the manual that came with the heatsink kit.
The left photo shows another type of heatsink fix
plate design. The install sequences are still the same,
from right side to left side. Just remember that.
We strongly recommand you to buy a heatsink
with three holes in the fix plate. This will provide
the best stabability and won’t cause the Socket fix
hooks to be broken or damaged.
The left photo shows the bottom right side of the
heaksink in contact with the right side of the Socket.
In this situation, the processor die does not properly
contact the heatsink. If you start the computer at this
monent, it will immediately cause the processor
damage. Always check this place when you finish the
heatsink installation.

使用手冊
步驟㆓： 將電腦機殼打開。
步驟㆔： 在您雙手碰觸任何電腦內部元件前，請
確認您先用手碰觸機殼未㆖漆且裸露接
㆞之金屬部份，以將您身體或是身㆖衣
物所帶有的靜電給放電掉。
步驟㆕： 找出您主機板㆖ DIMM 插槽的位置，此
主機板㆖文字標示為 DIMM1 ~ DIMM4
的DIMM 插槽均是。
步驟五： 將DDR DIMM 記憶體模組如圖 2-6 所
示，插入 DIMM 插槽。請注意記憶體模
組的楔子是如何對應到 DIMM 插槽㆖的
卡榫之㆖。此種設計可確保DDR DIMM
記憶體模組僅能由㆒個方向插到 DIMM
插槽之㆖。
步驟六：DDR DIMM 記憶體模組安裝好之後，您就可以將電腦機殼蓋回機身去，或是您仍要繼續
做其它的動作均可。
注意
當您將 DDR DIMM 記憶體模組完全插入 DIMM 插槽時，模組退出(固定) 夾應該會將 DIMM
記憶體模組自兩側卡緊並緊緊㆞固定住記憶體模組。
您從外觀㆖很難區分PC1600 與PC2100 DDR SDRAM 模組，辨識它們唯㆒方法是觀察模組㆖面的
標籤，標籤會告訴您該記憶體模組是何種架構的模組。

All connectors, headers and switches mentioned here, will depend on your system configuration. Some
features you may (or may not) have and need to connect or configure depending on the peripheral. If your
system doesn't have such add-on cards or switches you can ignore some special feature connectors.
Figure 2-7. All Connectors and Headers for the KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID
First, Let’s see the headers that KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID uses, and what their functions are. We will
show you all the connectors and headers.
(1). ATX1: ATX Power Input Connector
Attach the connector from the power supply to the
ATX1 connector here. Remember you have to push
the connector from the ATX power supply firmly to
the end with the ATX1 connector, insuring that you
have a good connection.
Note: Watch the pin position and the orientation.

Caution
If the power supply connectors are not properly attached to the ATX power supply, the power supply
or add-on cards may be damaged.
One end of AC power core connects to ATX power supply, and the other end (AC plug) will plug into
the wall outlet. Be aware that when facing the wall outlet, the round hole is in the middle. The right
side slot is called ground wire slot. It has a longer slot length than the left side slot. The left side slot is
called the live wire slot. You can use an electroscope to detect its polarity or you can use a voltage
meter to measure the voltage of both slot sides. If you insert an electroscope into the live wire slot, the
electroscope will light up. Using a voltage meter, you will find that the live wire slot will register a
higher voltage.
If you reverse the polarity of AC plug, it may affect the life of computer equipment, or cause an
electric shock when you touch the computer chassis. We suggest that you plug the computer AC plug
to a three-hole wall outlet for better safety and to avoid electric shock.
(2). FAN1, FAN2, FAN3 & FAN4 header
Attach the connector from the CPU fan to the header
named FAN4 ond connector from the chassis fan to
the header FAN1 or FAN3 and attach the connector
from the power fan to FAN2 header.
You must attach the CPU fan to the processor, or
your processor will work abnormally or may be
damaged by overheating. To prevent the computer
case’s internal temperature from getting too high,
also connect the chassis fan.
Note: Watch the pin position and the orientation
