Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the K8D Master3-133 Series (MS-
9161), an excellent Server System Infrastructure (SSI) mainboard
from MSI.
Based on the innovative AMD-8131 PCI-X Tunnel and AMD-
8111 I/O HUB chipsets for optimal system efficiency, K8D Master3-
133 Series SSI mainboards accommodate dual latest AMD OpteronTM
DP processors in the 940-pin lidded ceramic micro PGA package, and
supports up to twelve 144-bit DDR registered ECC DIMMs (at 200,
266, 333, and 400 MHz) to provide the maximum of 24GB memory
capacity.
In the entry-level and mid-range market segment, this mainboard

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 mBMC chip (Server Management
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 AMD®Opteron™ DP processor(s). The
mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU installation. You
can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the mainboard 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 frequency.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
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.
WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU
CPU1

2-4
MS-9161 SSI Server Board
1. Make sure that the computer is
turned off, and the power cord dis-
connected before installing the CPU.
2. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket, and raise it up to a
90-degree angle.
3. Locate the cut edge of the CPU.
When the CPU is installed into the
socket, this cut edge should be
aligned with the corner marking an
arrow on the Socket 940.
Please note that the CPU can only fit
in a correct orientation, DO NOT use
force to install the CPU into the
socket.
4.Place the CPUonto the socket and
press it down firmly into the socket.
The pins of the CPU should be em-
bedded into the socket completely.
5. Close the lever to secure the CPU.
Do not close the lever until the CPU’s
pins are fully inserted; otherwise,
the pins may be damaged.

Installing AMD OpteronTM DP CPU Cooling System
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.
referencefigure
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 power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

Memory
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.
The mainboard provides 12 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports up to 24GB memory size. You
can install DDR266/333/400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~12).
