FCC-A Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance 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 responsible 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.

MSI Special Features
PC Alert™ III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The utility is just like
your PC doctor that can detect the following PC
hardware status during real time operation:
Ømonitor CPU & system temperatures
Ømonitor fan speed(s)
Ømonitor system voltage
Ømonitor chassis intrusion
If one of the items above is abnormal, the
program main screen will be immediately shown
on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted
in red. This will continue to be shown until user
disables the warning.
MSI Reminds You...
1. Items shown on PC Alert™ III vary depending on your system status.
2. The mainboard bound with MS-9569 BMC card (Server Manage-
ment Features) won’t support PC Alert™ III.

Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hard-
ware 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 compo-
nents will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the components.

Hardware Setup
The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel®Xeon™ processor(s). The
mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 604 for easy CPU installation. You
can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the
following points in mind before installing CPU(s):
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.
2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs
running at the same FSB frequency.
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 find the
Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
The system temperature needs to remain under 45°C.
We highly recommend that the direction of inlet air should follow the
direction indicated above for better cooling effect.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the SSI power supply or
unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to
ensure the safety of CPU.

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 170-de-
gree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold
arrow should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only fit
in the correct 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 procedures 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, al-
ways close the lever with your
fingers pressing tightly on top of
the CPU to make sure the CPU is
properly and completely embed-
ded into the socket.

Memory Population Rules
The mainboard supports both single- & dual-channel modes. Install at least one
DIMM module on the slots. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to
meet your own needs. In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory
modules of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs “in pairs” -- {DIMM1 &
DIMM2}, {DIMM3 & DIMM4}, {DIMM5 & DIMM6}, {DIMM7 & DIMM8}.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
