CPU Temperature Protection
The CPU Temperature Protection function has the capability of
monitoring the CPU’s temperature during system boot-up. Once
it has detected that the CPU’s temperature exceeded the CPU
temperature limit defined in the BIOS, the system will automati-
cally power-off after 5 warning beeps. Refer to “CPU Temp. Prot.
Function and CPU Temp. Prot. Alarm” in the PC Health Status
section in chapter 3 for more information.
CPU Fan Protection
The CPU Fan Protection function has the capability of monitoring
the CPU fan during system boot-up and will automatically power-
off the system once it has detected that the CPU fan did not
rotate. This preventive measure has been added to protect the
CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment. Re-
fer to “CPU Fan Connector with CPU Fan Protection Function”
in chapter 2 and “CPU Fan Protection” in the PC Health Status
section in chapter 3 for more information.
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a
higher core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this
function is supported, we do not recommend that you use a
higher voltage because unstable current may be supplied to the
system board causing damage. Refer to “OverClocking Control”
in the Genie BIOS Setting section in chapter 3 for more informa-
tion.
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the proces-
sor’s bus clock. However, overclocking may result to the proces-
sor’s or system’s instability and are not guaranteed to provide
better system performance. Refer to “OverClocking Control” in
the Genie BIOS Setting section in chapter 3 for more informa-
tion.

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy sav-
ing features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management. Currently, only Windows®®
®®
®98/2000/ME/XP
supports the ACPI function allowing you to use the Suspend to
RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off
the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting
“Standby” when you shut down Windows®®
®®
®98/2000/ME/XP with-
out having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of
closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the
system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the
entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory)
when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly
where you left off the next time you power-on the system. Refer
to “Using the Suspend to RAM Function” in appendix A for more
information.

2.2 Installing the CPU in a Socket A
Warning:
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that
the power supply is switched off or the power cord is de-
tached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to the systemboard, peripherals, and/or com-
ponents.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded ob-
ject or to any metal object, , before handling components to
avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
1. Pull the lever sideways away from
the socket. Make sure to raise the
lever up to a 90 degree angle.
2. Look for a golden triangle marked
on the top surface of the CPU close
to one of it’s corners. These
markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
The CPU can only fit in the correct
orientation.
3. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at
the same corner of Socket that
contains the end of the lever.Allow
the weight of the CPU to push itself
into place. Do not apply extra
pressure as doing so may result in
damaging your CPU and or
systemboard. Snap the lever back
into place.
Important:
Installing a heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat
dissipation from your CPU. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste on
top of CPU to dissipate the heat more effectively. Failing to do so
may result in overheating and possible burnout of your CPU.

2.3 System Memory
Warning:
• To ensure proper boot up and operation of your system, you
must power-off the system then turn off the power supply’s
switch or unplug the AC power cord prior to altering the setting
of a jumper or replacing the CPU.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components.
Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD
workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide
some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and
attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist
strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the
system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD
protection.
The system board is equipped with three 184-pin DDR SDRAM
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets that support 2.5V
DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is
a type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading and
writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This
effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore providing two
times faster data transfer.
