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.

MS-7010 M-ATX Mainboard
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.

MS-7010 M-ATX Mainboard
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.

6. Press down the other end of
the clip to fasten the cooling set
on the top of the retention
mechanism.
7. Locate the Fix Lever, Saftey
Hook and the Fixed Bolt.
Lift up the intensive fixed lever.

Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration
of the installation of AMD Athlon 64 CPU Cooler Set only. The
appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the
model you purchase.

8. Fastened down the lever.
9. Make sure the safety hook
completely clasps the fixed bolt
of the retention mechanism.
MSI Reminds You...
While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the fixed bolt, it
is necessary to keep an eye on your fingers, because once
the Safety Hook is disconnected from the fixed bolt, the fixed
lever will spring back instantly.

Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up
to 2GB. You can install PC3200/DDR400, PC2700/DDR333, PC2100/
DDR266 or PC1600/DDR200 unbuffered DIMM modules on the DDR DIMM
slots (DDR 1~2).

(DDR 1~2)
Introduction to DDR 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-
ules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, worksta-
tions and servers.
*Please Refer to <www.msi.com.tw>
for the latest qualified memory list to
ensure the system stability.

2-10
MS-7010 M-ATX Mainboard
Installing DDR Modules
1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The mod-
ule 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 of the memory module is deeply inserted
in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
MSI Reminds You...
You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly
inserted in the socket.
Volt Notch
DDR DIMM Population Rules
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:
S: Single Side D: Double Side
Slot Memory Module
DIMM 1 (Bank 0 & 1) S/D
DIMM 2 (Bank 2 & 3) S/D
Maximum System Memory Supported 64MB~2GB

Power Supply
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Be-
fore inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all compo-
nents are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: JWR1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is
inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down
the power supply firmly into the connector.

DMA33/66/100/133 function. You can connect up to four hard disk drives,
CD-ROM, 120MB Floppy (reserved for future BIOS) and other devices. These
connectors support the provided IDE hard disk cable.
MSI Reminds You...
If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the
second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the
hard disk documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for
jumper setting instructions.
IDE2IDE1
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can
connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard
drive to Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.
