Hardware Installation
This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.
CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports AMD AthlonTM 64/ SempronTM processor using Socket 754. Before
building your system, we suggest you visit the AMD website and review the processor
installation procedures. http://www.amd.com
CPU Socket 754 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the locking lever away from the
socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.]
2. On the socket, locate the corner which has the “diagonally cut-corner” on the rectangular
shaped pattern of pinholes (see diagram below-left). Match that corner with the “gold
triangle” on the CPU (see diagram below-right) and lower the CPU onto the socket. The
bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.
3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.
4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the
clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and
insert it onto the “CPUFAN” adapter.
Attention
DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure
that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the
system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed
and the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case your CPU and
other sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.

FAN Headers: CPUFAN, CHASFAN
There are two fan headers available for cooling fans. The cooling fans play an important role in
maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU
cooling fan. The CHASFAN header is attached with other cooling fans.

Memory Installation: DIMM1
The KI51PV-754 provides one DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) socket. It allows you to
install 184-pin, non-ECC & unbuffered DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (PC2700) SDRAM that
supports a total memory capacity of 1GB.
Memory Setup Steps:
1. Pull the white plastic tabs at both ends of the socket away.
Attention
You can avoid damaging your CPU due to high temperatures with
proper cooling equipment. It is recommended that attach a cooling fan
on top of your CPU. Use the CPUFAN header to attach the fan cord.
On most fan power cord, the black wire of the fan cable is the “ground”
and should be attached to pin-1 of the header.

2. Align a memory on the socket such that the notch on the memory matches the break on the
socket.
3. Lower the memory vertically into the socket and press firmly by using both thumbs until the
memory snaps into place.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining memory and DIMM sockets setup.
