WARNING

Ifyou’ve changed your CPU oroverclocked your system,the system mayfail toboot up,
even with a Clear CMOS jumper physically resetted. The reason is that NVIDIA’s new
nForce2 chipset introduces a way to reset a Clear CMOS jumper without removing a
chassis.Please followthe stepslisted below:
1. Turnoffyour computerandunplug thepower cable.Reconnectit after30seconds;
2. Press<Insert>andthenpressyourcomputer’s start button.Continueholding<Insert>
untilthesystem beginsthePOST (Power-OnSelfTest);
3. Immediatelypress<Del> toenter theBIOS;
4. Select‘Load OptimizedDefaults’ to return your systemto abootable condition;then
select ‘SAVE to CMOS and EXIT’;
5. Rebootyoursystem.
Moreover, if your system fails to boot up after you reset the CPU FSB, select “SAVE to
CMOS and EXIT” in the BIOS.After the system restarts, there is on screen a message
warningyounotto resetorturnoff your computer:
Warning! New setting is updating now
Do not Reset or Shutdown the system
Yoursystem worksafter theBIOS isupdated.

Step 1
Install the CPU
1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector
of your mainboard (between the back panel connectors and the DIMM
memory slots).
2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to
unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
3. Place your AMD Athlon TM 64 processor in the socket. Note that the CPU's
edges have been purposely designed non-symmetrically to prevent from in
serting the processor in the wrong direction. The following diagram demon
strates the correct placement of the CPU in the ZIF socket.
4. Slightly push the AMD Athlon TM 64 processor into the socket without apply
ing excessive force while making sure there is no gap between CPU and
socket. Then lower the socket-lever all the way down to its horizontal posi-
tion and lock it to secure the CPU in place.
5. The AMD Athlon TM 64 processor requires a set of heatsink/fan to ensure
proper cooling of the processor. If heatsink/fan have not been already
mounted on your CPU, you must purchase the heatsink/fan separately and
have it in stalled. Plug the cable throught the heatsink/fan in the CPU fan
power connector located nearby. Note that there are several types of CPU
fan connectors. Normally, if your mainboard supports the hardware moni
toring function, a 3-pin fan power connector should allow your system to
detect the CPU fan's speed. The CPU fan can also run with a 2-pin fan power
connector, however, detection of CPU fan's speed is not supported. An
other type of CPU fan may feature a large 4-pin fan power connector, which
does not support CPU fan's speed detection and must be directly connected
to the system's power supply unit. Please refer to the following diagram.
