Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD®Athlon64 processor. The mainboard
uses a CPU socket called Socket-754 for easy CPU installation. When you are
installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink
and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turn-
ing on the computer.
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always
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 supply
or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet
first to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 754
1. Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure
to raise the lever up to a 90-
degree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point to-
wards the lever pivot. The
CPU can only fit in the cor-
rect orientation.
4. If the CPU is correctly
installed, the pins should be
completely embedded into the
socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any violation
of the correct installation pro-
cedures may cause permanent
damages to your mainboard.
5. 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 fingers pressing
tightly on top of the CPU to
make sure the CPU is prop-
erly and completely embed-
ded into the socket.

Installing AMD Athlon64 CPU Cooler Set
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink
and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not
have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer.
1. Detach the shield of the
backplate’s paster.
2. Turn over the mainboard, and
install the backplate to the
proper position.

3. Turn over the mainboard
again, and place the
mainboard on the flat surface.
Locate the two screw holes of
the mainboard.
4. Align the retention mechanism
and the backplate.
Fix the retention mechanism
and the backplate with two
screws.
5. Position the cooling set onto
the retention mechanism.
Hook one end of the clip to
hook first.
