Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.
For detailed installation instructions of processor, you can also refer
to the pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.
2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heatsink is a must for proper heat
dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with heatsink
for proper installation. Improper fan and installation will damage your
CPU.
3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable on
board, please follow the instructions described in the User Manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

2-1.2 CPU Installation with Socket 462
This mainboard is built with CPU Socket 462 supporting the AMD CPUs
Athlon, Athlon XP and Duron:
• Follow the steps described in this section to install CPU into the on-
board Socket 462.
• After installation of CPU, you must also install a proper cooling fan
on top of the CPU and connect the Fan cable to the CPU fan
connector.
1. First pull sideways the lever of
Socket 462, and then turn it up
900 so as to raise the upper layer
of the socket from the lower
platform.
3. Make sure that all CPU pins have
completely entered the socket
and then lower down the lever
to lock up CPU to socket.
2. Configure Pin 1 of CPU to Pin 1
of the Socket, just as the way
shown in the diagram on the
right. Adjust the position of CPU
until you can feel all CPU pins
get into the pin holes of the
socket.

2-2 Memory Installation
How to tackle the memory Modules:
• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.
• This series supports up to 3GB unbuffered DDR333/266 SDRAM,
with 3 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert other type of mod-
ules into these slots.
• The nFORCE2 dual memory controller can double the DDR memory
bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s with DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and
4.2GB/s with DDR266.
• To enable Dual-channel memory function, please see Dual-channel
Configuration” on next page.
• DDR DIMM slot has 184-pins and one notch. Insert a DDR SDRAM
vertically into the 184-pin slot with the notch-to-rib matching.

2-2.2 Dual-channel DDR DIMM configuration
1. To enable Dual-channel function on this series of mainboard, a DDR
SDRAM module must be first inserted into DIM3, the Master Dual-
channel slot.
2. Next, either DIM1 or DIM2 or both should be inserted with DDR
SDRAM module(s) to activate the Dual-channel function. That is, DIM3
is the Master Dual-channel slot and at least one more slot is needed
to couple the Dual-channel function.
3. If Dual-channel configuration is set up, nFORCE2 dual memory con-
troller can double the DDR memory bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s with
DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and 4.2GB/s with DDR266.
2-2.3 o remove a DDR DIMM
First power off the system and press down the holding latches on both
sides of DIMM slot to release the module..

2-3 VGA / AGP Slot Installation
The AGP slot on board supports 1.5V AGP 8X/4X card only. A Rib is
specifically added to the 8X/4X slot so as to match the AGP 8X/4X card.
To insert a 3.3V AGP 2X card into the AGP 4X slot will damage the
system chip and burn the 1.5V circuitry.
An AGP 8X card will support a data transfer rate up to 2GB/sec, while
an AGP 4X card will provide 1GB/sec transfer rate.

2. To install additional AGP card into AGP 8X slot on board, users can
install either a 8X or 4X AGP card with its only card driver. AGP slot
on board is supported by 1.5V mode, with up to DDR 400 memory
module support.
1. To install on-board VGA, please connect your monitor directly to VGA
connector on board. VGA on board is supported by 1.6V mode, with
up to DDR 333 memory module support.
