Chapter 1. Getting Started
Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the KX18D series mainboard! The KX18D series includes KX18D PRO
and KX18D PRO II. These are based on the nForceTM2 SPP Northbridge chipset and either the MCP
or MCP-T Southbridge chipset. It supports AMD®AthlonTMXP/ AthlonTM/ DuronTM/ BartonTM
Processors with a FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency of 200/ 266/ 333 MHz.
The KX18D series provides 3 DIMM sockets using 184 pin DDR SDRAM with a total capacity of up
to 3 GB. You can install unbuffered & non-ECC DDR400/ 333/ 266 (PC3200/ 2700/ 2100) SDRAM.
It supports 128 bit dual channel memory bus with a total capacity of up to 2 GB.
The KX18D series provides one 8X/4X AGP Slot that use 0.8V or 1.5V AGP cards only.
The KX18D series include built in IDE facilities that support Ultra ATA 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 Ultra 6-0/
DMA 2-0 and PIO 4-0 modes. The KX18D PRO II also includes built in Serial ATA facility that
support SATA 150.
The KX18D series also comes with an AC’97 Sound Codec (ALC650) which supports high quality 6
channel audio (super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect). It also supports Sony/ Philips Digital Interface
(S/PDIF).
The KX18D series also comes with six USB 2.0 ports and the KX18D PRO II comes with two IEEE
1394 ports (optional).
The KX18D series also include CPU Over Temperature Protection (OTP). When CPU temperature
rises above normal values, the system will automatically shut down to protect your system from
overheating. But the OTP is only functional when using an Athlon XPTM or BartonTM CPU.
The KX18D PRO II comes preinstalled with Voice Genie, BIOS Mirror, and SATA function.
Voice Genie allows you to select between four languages for audio diagnostics. BIOS Mirror allows
you to have a backup (mirror) BIOS when the primary BIOS is damaged by virus or flash update.
SATA function allows you to enable or disable the SATA devices.
The KX18D series include an infrared header. The KX18D series also provides a back panel LAN
port that the south bridge chipset support.
The company’s 3 Year Limited Warranty for this product covers both labor costs and replacement
parts during the 1st year. Only labor costs are covered during the 2nd and 3rd years (replacement parts
will be charged during the 2nd and 3rd years).
All of the information in this manual only for reference. This specification is subject to change
without notice.

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®processors using a Socket A. Before building your system, we
suggest you visit the AMD®website and review the processor installation procedures.
http://www.amd.com
CPU Socket A Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift
the lever to a 90-degree angle.
2. On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will be near to the end of
the lever. Match the corner on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket 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: Before starting the system
Please check the installation completely before starting the
system. Verify that the heatsink is properly installed and make
sure the CPU fan is working. Overheating can damage the CPU
and other sensitive com
p
onents.

FAN Headers
Three power headers are available for cooling fans, which play an important role in maintaining the
ambient temperature in your system.
Memory Installation
The mainboard contains 3 sockets, which use 184 pin DDR SDRAM with a total memory capacity of
up to 3 GB. You can install unbuffered & non-ECC DDR400/ 333/ 266 (PC3200/ 2700/ 2100)
SDRAM.
The KX18D series supports 128 bit dual-channels memory bus with a total memory capacity of up to
2 GB. The DIMM1 and DIMM2 share one channel and the DIMM3 use the other channel. If you
enable dual-channels you can increase data access rates.
Attention
We strongly recommend you attach the CPU fan to the
CPUFAN Header.

Enabling Dual-Channel DDR
To enable Dual-Channel DDR functionality, your system must meet certain configuration conditions.
First, you can only use two of the three DIMM slots. You can use DIMM1 and DIMM3 together, or
you can use DIMM2 and DIMM3 together. Second, the DIMM modules that you use must be
identical (capacity, manufacturer and model). See the table below for clarification of DIMM module
options.
Refer to the list below to install the DDR SDRAM memory modules to enable dual-channels facility:
(themeans that a DIMM module is present)
DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3
- 
- 
RAM Module Installation:
1. Pull the white plastic tabs on each side of the slot away from the slot.
2. Match the notch on the button of the RAM module with the corresponding pattern in the DIMM
slot. This ensures that the module is inserted properly.
3. Lower the RAM module into the DIMM Slot and press firmly using both thumbs until the module
snaps into place.
4. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remaining RAM modules.

Serial and Parallel Interface Ports
The mainboard comes equipped with one serial port and one parallel port on the back panel. These
interface ports will be explained below.
Parallel Interface Port: PRT
The parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB25 connector and is used to interface with parallel
printers and other devices using a parallel interface.
The Serial Interface: COM1
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an asynchronous
communication port. Mice, modems and other peripheral devices can be connected to a serial port.
Audio Port Connectors
Speaker Out is used to connect to speakers or
headphones. If the Super 5.1 driver is enabled the Speaker
Out becomes the Front Speaker.
Line In can be connected to an external CD player, Tape
player or other audio devices for audio input. If the Super
5.1 driver is enabled Line In becomes the Rear Speaker.
Mic In is used to connect to a microphone. If the Super 5.1
driver is enabled the Mic In becomes the Subwoofer/
Center out.
This mainboard supports Super 5.1 Channel Audio effects which turns
your standard Speaker Out, Lin In, Mic In audio connectors into a 6
channel audio system. See Appendix I for more information.

HD LED (Hard Drive LED Connector)
This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will
flicker during disk activity. This disk activity only applies to those IDE drives directly attached to the
system board.
RST (Reset Button)
This connector can be attached to a momentary SPST switch. This switch is normally left open.
When closed it will cause the mainboard to reset and run the POST (Power On Self Test).
PWR-LED (2-Pin Power LED Connector)
This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will
illuminate while the computer is powered on.
PWR ON (Power Button)
This connector can be attached to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the Power Button
pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off (the time required is
due to internal debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass before the
power supply will recognize another on/off signal.
PWRLED (3-Pin Power LED )
If there is a 3-pin power LED cable on the front panel of a computer case. You can attach it to the
3-pin power LED connector.
SPEAKER (Speaker Header)
A front panel speaker can be connected to this connector. When you boot your computer, the speaker
sounds a short “beep”. If there is something wrong during the Power On Self-Test, the speaker
sounds “irregular beep” to warning you.

Infrared Header: IrDA
This IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared and is used to attach to an
infrared sensing device. After the IrDA interface is configured, you can use this connector for
connectionless data transfer to and from portable devices such as laptops and PDAs.
Case Open Warning Jumper: CASE OPEN
This connector is used to notify the user when the computer case has been previously opened. To
configure this functionality, your computer case must be equipped with a “ case open” cable which
you need to attach to the CASE OPEN jumper. Also, you must enable CASE OPEN warning
functionality in the BIOS setup utility. When your computer case is opened, your system will display
alert messages upon boot up. Note that your computer case must be equipped with a “case open”
cable.
