Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount
754-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket
designed for the AMD Athlon™ 64/AMD
Sempron™ processor.
Take note of the marked corner (with gold
triangle) on the CPU. This mark should match
a specific corner on the socket to ensure
correct installation.
2. Unlock the socket by pressing
the lever sideways, then lift it up
to a 90°-100°angle. SocketSocket

• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations on the next page.
• Install only identicalidentical

identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs
using the recommended configurations.
• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB
(Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB
synchronization table on the next page.
• This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.
• Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The
third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs
or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage
to both the motherboard and the components.
A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

PCI slotPCI slot
PCI slot
There is one 32-bit PCI slot on this
motherboard. The slot supports PCI
cards such as a LAN card, SCSI card,
USB card, and other cards that
comply with PCI specifications.
When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments; otherwise,
conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system
unstable and the card inoperable.

Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in
CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system
setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard
button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include
system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (Normal) to pins 1-2 (Clear
CMOS). Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then
move the cap back to pins 2-3.
4. Reinstall the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <F1> key during the boot process and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for
an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive),
and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard

These connectors are for an ATX power supply. The plugs from the
power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one
orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the
connectors completely fit.
• Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the
+12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB).
The minimum recommended wattage is 230 W, or 300 W for a fully
configured system. The system can become unstable and might
experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate.
• You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.
