1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or re
moving expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when you
insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC power
supply may result in serious damage to your system or memory
module.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Take note of the following precautions before you install components
or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object, such
as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching any
components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded anti-
static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
This motherboard supports AthlonTM 64 or AthlonTM 64FX processors and
HyperTransportTM Technology.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the le-
ver sideways, then lift it up to a 90o
angle.
2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the base
of the socket. Carefully insert the CPU
into the socket until it fits in place.
When the CPU is in place, press it
firmly on the socket while you push
down the socket lever to secure the
CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
to indicate that it is locked.
Installation of CPU
Follow these steps to install the CPU.
Push down the socket
lever to secure the CPU.
Cut edge
Gap in the base
Attention:
The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in the
socket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
4.Connect the fan’s power cable
to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
1.Locate the CPU retention mechanism
base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.
To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,
overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is
provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the
actual procedure.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor-
mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging
to the CPU.

CPU Qualified Vendor List
The following table lists the CPUs that have been tested and qualified for use
with this motherboard.
Memory
This motherboard includes four 184-pin slots with 266/333/400 MHz Dual Chan-
nel DDR DRAM interface, You must install at least one memory module to
ensure normal operation. If you install four modules, they must be the same
speed. When all full sockets are populated with 1GB DIMMs (total 4 GB), the
system may detect only 3.5GB (a little less than 4 GB) due to the South Bridge
resource allocation. Mixing memory modules from different manufactures are
not recommended.
Installation of DDR Memory
1. There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module
can be fixed in one direction only.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module
vertically into the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
