Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
wThis device may not cause harmful interference
wThis device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If this equipment is not installed and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
wReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
wIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
wConnect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
wConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The use of shielded cables for connection of the monitor to the graphics card is required to
assure compliance with FCC regulations. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications Statement
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for audio noise emissions from
digital apparatusses set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.

2-1 CPU NSTALLAT ON
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket, and then raise the lever up
to a 0-degree angle.
2. Take note of the red circle as below picture. While inserting the CPU into
the socket, you can find out there is a definite pin orientation for CPU and
socket.

• MP-7VIP-A motherboard works with AMD Athlon ThunderbirdTM and
DuronTM processor series. There is a simply way for user to distinguish
between these two kinds of CPU. As the demontration, you can see some
little descriptions on the center of processor. Please pay attention to the
first alphabert: the “D” represents AMD Athlon DuronTM processor, and the
“A” represents AMD Athlon ThunderbirdTM processor.

2-4 JUMPER DEF N T ONS
• The figure below shows the location fo the motherboard’s jumper blocks.
CAUTION
• Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always trun off the power and
unplug the power cord from the computer before changing the jumper.
Otherwise, the motherboard could be damaged.
CPU FAN
FAN1/FAN2: ONBOARD FAN (12V)
FAN2
FAN1
SYSTEM FAN
Those connectors support processor/system/chassis cooling fan
with +12V. Those support three pin head connector. When con-
necting the wire to FAN connectors, user should give attention that
the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V,
the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
motherboard has Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must
use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage
of this function.
For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send
out 2 pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the
fan rotation speed.
NOTE 1: Always consult vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.
NOTE 2: CPU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install PC
Alert utility. This will automatically control the CPU FAN
speed according to the actual CPU temperature.

V O allows you to select the voltage supplied to the DRAM,

(3.3V) should be used unless processor overclocking requires
a higher voltage.
NOTE! Using a higher voltage may help when overcloc ing
but may result in the shortening of your computer
components’s life. It is strongly recommended that you
leave this setting on its default.

NOTE : You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin when the
system is POWER OFF. Then, return to 1-2 pin
position (default). It may damage the motherboard if
clearing the CMOS in POWER ON status. Unplug
the power cord from power supply before clearing
CMOS will be a best bet for user.
