Environmental Safety Instruction
zAvoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
zGenerally 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.
zThe 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.
zAttention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

flexible ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking maybe causes the fails in
system reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and
meets the demands of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more
system performance with variety possibilities of the components you choose, please
be careful and make sure to read the detailed descriptions of these value added
product features, please get them in the coming section.
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 Smart Fan--- The Noise Management System
It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its
acoustics. CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the
noise level needed for now-a-day’s high performance computing system. The system
will automatically increase the fan speed when CPU operating loading is high, after
the CPU is in normal operating condition, the system will low down the fan speed for
the silent operating environment. The system can provide the much longer life cycle
for both CPU and the system fans for game use and business requirements.

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 AM2 surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
socket, referred to as the mPGA940 socket supports AMD AM3 processors.
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
heatsink 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

16
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.
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
