Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components
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.

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.
The mainboard supports AMD®Athlon and Duron processors.
It uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. Make sure
the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent
overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

3. Press the CPU down firmly
into the socket and close the
lever. As the CPU is likely to
move while the lever is being
closed, always close the lever
with your finger pressing
tightly on top of the CPU to
make sure the CPU is properly
& completely embedded into
the socket.
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to
protect the CPU from overheating.

Hardware Setup
2-3
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer
systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable
operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal
requirements.
AMD Athlon/Duron processor with a speed of 600MHz and above re-
quires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease be-
tween the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that
the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each
other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring
reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling,
you can visit AMDs website for reference.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPUClock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHzx7
= 700MHz
CPU FSB Selection Jumper: SW2
To use a 133MHz CPU, you need to set the SW2 jumper to short 1-2 pin.
To use a 100MHz CPU, set the SW2 jumper to short 2-3 pin.

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.
