Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the compo-
nents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Chapter 2
2-2
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operates with AMD®DuronTM/Athlon™/Athlon XP
processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 462 for easy
CPU installation. The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling
fan attached to prevent overheating.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
CPU Installation Procedures
2. Look for the cut edge. The
cut edge should point
towards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the
correct orientation.

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU
and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work
properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
WARNING!

Hardware Setup
2-3
The mainboard CPU bus frequency can be set through BIOS setup.
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 700MHz
CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or
risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.
WARNING!

Chapter 2
2-4
Memory
The mainboard supports a maximum memory size of 1 GB. It provides two
168-pin unbuffered DIMMs (Double In-Line Memory Module) sockets.
There are two kinds of DIMM specifications supported by
this mainboard: PC133 and PC100. If you use 100MHz
CPU Bus Frequency, you can use PC100 or PC133 DIMM
Spec. If you use 133 MHz CPU bus frequency, only PC133
DIMM Spec is recommended.
WARNING!

A. How to install a DIMM Module
1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys “VOLT and DRAM”, so the
DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot.
Then push it in.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close.

Memory Installation Procedures

Chapter 2
2-6
1. Supports only SDRAM DIMM.
2. To operate properly, at least one 168-pin DIMM module must be installed.
3. This mainboard supports Table Free memory, so memory can be installed
on DIMM 1 or DIMM 2 in any order.
4. Supports 3.3 volt DIMM.
5. The single-/double-sided memory modules supported by each DIMM slot
are shown below:

Power Supply
ATX 20-pin Power Connector: JWR1
This connector supports the power button on-board. Using the ATX power
supply, functions such as Modem Ring Wake-Up and Soft Power Off are
supported by this mainboard. This power connector supports instant power
on function which means that system will boot up instantly when the power
connector is inserted on the board.
