FCC-B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
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 when the equip-
ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
Notice 1
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice 2
Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.

Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, al-
ways make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect
the CPU from overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power sup-
ply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded
outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
However, please make sure your components are able to toler-
ate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any at-
tempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks
caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.
The mainboard supports Intel®P4 Northwood processor in the 478 pin
package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make surethe CPUhas aheat
sinkandacoolingfanattachedonthetoptopreventoverheating. Ifyoudonot
find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer.

1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pulltheleversidewaysaway
fromthesocket. Make sure

degreeangle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPUcan only fit in thecorrect
orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completelyembedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation pro-
ceduresmay cause permanent
damages to your mainboard.
5. PresstheCPU downfirmly
into the socket and close
the lever. As the CPU is
likelytomovewhilethelever
is being closed, always
close the lever with your
fingers pressing tightly on
top of the CPU to make
sure the CPU is properly
and completely embedded
into the socket.

InstallingtheCPUFan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissi-
pate heat, you need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the
CPU. Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
2. Position the heatsink onto the reten-
tion mechanism.
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips
get wedged in the holes of the reten-
tion mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.

Themainboard provides3slotsfor 184-pinDDRSDRAMDIMM (Double
In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 3GB.
YoucaninstallPC2700/DDR333orPC2100/DDR266modulesontheDDRDIMM
slots (DIMM 1~3). To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be
installed.

IntroductiontoDDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as
opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM mod-
ulesrather than 168-pin DIMMmodules used by SDRSDRAM. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, worksta-
tions and servers.

MS-6585 ATX Mainboard
DIMMModuleCombination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Memory modules can be
installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or double-
sided modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module
will only fit in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted
in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
