Overheating
Overheating willseriouslydamage the CPUand system, alwaysmakesure the cooling fan can work
properly toprotectthe CPUfromoverheating.

Replacing theCPU
Whilereplacingthe CPU,alwaysturn off theATXpowersupply orunplug the power supplys power
cord fromgrounded outlet firsttoensure the safety ofCPU.
Memory
The mainboard provides2slotsfor184-pinDDR SDRAMDIMM (DoubleIn-Line MemoryModule)
modulesand supportsthe memory sizeup to2GB.You can install PC3200/DDR400,PC2700/DDR333,
or PC2100/DDR266 unbuffered DIMM moduleson the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2).Plugging
memoriesinDIMM1and DIMM2makesthe systemreachtheoptimumsystemperformance.
For the updatedsupporting memorymodules,pleasevisit
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php.
MemoryPopulationRules
Install at leastone DIMM moduleon the slots.EachDIMM slot supports uptoamaximumsizeof 1GB.
Users caninstalleither single-or double-sided modules tomeet theirownneeds. Pleasenotethateach
DIMM can work respectivelyforsingle-channelDDR, but there aresomeruleswhileusing DDR.

MSIRemindsYou...
You canclear CMOSbyshorting 2-3 pinwhilethe systemisoff. Thenreturn to1-2 pinposition.Avoid
clearing theCMOSwhilethesystemis on; itwilldamage the mainboard.
The mainboard providesone AGP slotand five32-bitPCIbusslots.
AGP(AcceleratedGraphics Port) Slot
The AGP slotallows you toinsertthe AGP
graphics card.AGPisan interfacespecification
designed forthe throughput demands of3D graphics.It introduces a66MHz, 32-bitchannelforthe
graphics controller todirectlyaccess mainmemory.Theslotsupports 8x/4xAGPcard.
PCI (PeripheralComponent Interconnect) Slots
The PCI slots allowyou toinsertthe expansion cardsto
meet your needs.Whenadding or removing expansion
cards, makesure that you unplugthe power supplyfirst.Meanwhile, read the documentation forthe
expansion card tomakeanynecessaryhardware or software settingsfor theexpansion card,suchas
jumpers,switchesor BIOSconfiguration.

1. Even though theDynamicOverclockingTechnologyis more stablethan manualoverclocking,
basically, itisstillrisky. We suggest that usersmakesure thatthe CPUcan affordtooverclocking
regularlyfirst.Ifyou find the PCappearstobe unstableor rebootincidentally,it's better todisablethe
Dynamic Overclocking or tolower the levelof overclocking options. Bythe way,if you need to
conductoverclocking manually, youalsoneed todisabletheDynamic OverClocking first.
