Environmental Safety Instruction
Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any
area where it may become wet.
0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request of
the main chipset)
Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact malfunction
and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the welding
spots‟ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go through an adaptive
phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold environment to a warmer one to
avoid condensation phenomenon. These water drops attached on PCB or the surface
of the components can bring about phenomena as minor as computer instability
resulted from corrosion and oxidation from components and PCB or as major as short
circuit that can burn the components. Suggest starting the computer until the
temperature goes up.
The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer. Using
the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher temperature in
the inner of the case.
Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.
Environmental Protection Announcement
Do not dispose this electronic device into the trash while discarding. To minimize pollution
and ensure environment protection of mother earth, please recycle.

1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology (The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at
high workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter
partially idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating
temperature in BIOS (from 40℃to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU
operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be
decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool down the processor. When at
throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it is in working.
CPU VID---Shift to Higher Performance
The CPU voltage can be adjusted for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding
computing performance.
CPU Vcore Input/Output Solid Capacitors(High-polymer Solid Electrolysis
Aluminum Capacitors)
CPU Vcore Input and Output adopt OC-CON solid capacitors. The working
temperature is from 55 degrees Centigrade below zero to 125 degrees Centigrade,
Solid capacitors possess superior physical characteristics that can be while reducing
the working temperature between 20 degrees Centigrade each time, intact extension
10 times of effective product operation lives, at not rising degrees Centigrade of
working temperatures each time a relative one, life of product decline 10% only too.
G.P.I Function
G.P.I is a technology with remarkable power saving function: when you are using a
computer with G.P.I mold turned on, you save averagely 10.5W in power consumption
in the whole process than normal computer without G.P.I technology.

Hardware Installation
WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
2-1 CPU Installation
This motherboard provides a socket surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU
AM2 socket, referred to as the mPGA940 socket that supports AMD AM3/MA2+/AM2
CPU.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to
prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN
before you turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor‟s
heat sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it
may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage,
you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket
and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a
90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The
notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a
corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

Appendix I
Subject 1: Regarding the Application of 3-Phase or 3+1 Phase
Power Supply Mold
As a result of the increasing power consumption demand from
many AMD CPUs in current market, we suggest not to use a CPU
that demands more than 65W power consumption at work for an
AMD CPU compliant board that comes with power supply design
as 3 phase or 3+1 phase mold and MOSFET design as working in
High SideX1 and Low SideX1 mold so as to avoid MOSFET getting
burned or other phenomena like a halted system or system
instability. So please take notice of the CPU you are using and make sure that it is one
that demand not more than 65 W to ensure long-term working order.
Note:
1. The relation between CPU Power Consumption Amount and Power Phase:
depending on difference in voltage rating, one-phase of power can provide
25~30W to the motherboard.
2. 3- Phase Power Supply Mold: motherboard with 3 inductances for CPU power
supply, and each inductance carries with it 2 MOSFET (6 MOSFETs in total)
(Figure1);3+1–Phase Power Supply Mold: motherboard with 4 inductances for
CPU power supply, and each inductance carries with it 2 MOSFET (8 MOSFETs
in total) (Figure2).
Figure 1
Figure 2
Solution:
We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 4-phase, 4+1
phase or more for CPUs that demand 89W or 95W power consumption.
We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 5-phase, 5+1
phase or more for CPUs that demand 125W or 140W power consumption.

17
17
Subject 2: Suggestion on choosing electric fan
Both the amount of electric current to MOSFET and the heat
produced from the motherboard go up as AMD‟s CPU power
consumption increases. In this case we recommend users select a
CPU fan with air outlet towards MOSFET so that CPU fan can carry
away heat produced by MOSFET, for better heat dissipation effects.
At the same time we suggest using well-ventilated cases to maintain
temperature as 38℃approximately inside. (38℃is recommended by CPU
manufactures).
Figure 1---- CPU Fan can not blow off the heat produced by MOSFET. We suggest
not to using fans of this kind.
Figure 2---- CPU Fan can blow off the heat produced by MOSFET. We suggest using
fans of this kind.
