ATTENTION !!!
1. Please refer o your processor ins alla ion or o her
documen a ion a ached o your CPU for de ailed in-
s alling ins ruc ion.
2. Ins alling a hea sink and cooling fan is necessary
for proper hea dissipa ion from your CPU. Incorrec
ins alla ion may resul in overhea ing and damage
of your CPU.
3. Before changing he se ing of CPU Vcore from BIOS
program, user SHOULD make sure of correc speci-
fica ion bo h of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Incorrec
se ing may cause damage o your CPU.

75DRV/75DRV-X
WARNIN !!!
• Make sure that +5V DCV and +3.3 DCV capabilities of your power supply
are suitable for the processor.
• Any attempt to operate the AMD Athlon or Duron processor without a
suitable coolin Fan will dama e processor and other component.
2-1 CPU INSTALLATION
SOCKET 462
SOCKET 462
AMD
Take notice of the red circles
as shown below. While insert
ing the CPU into the socket,
you can find out there is a
definite pin orientation for
CPU and socket.

Pull out the lever from the
socket, and then raise the le
ver up to a 90 degree angle.

AMD
SOCKET 462
Make sure that the CPU is
placed into the socket tightly.
Then lower down the level to
complete the CPU installation.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
Ins alling DIMM
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.
• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 184 pins and one notch
that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory modules are
installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they “click” in the right
place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force them in by a wrong
direction.
184-Pin DIMM No ch Key Defini ions(2.5V)
DRAM Key Posi ion Vol age Key Posi ion
2.5V
2-2 MEMORY INSTALLATION
Removing DIMM
• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a DIMM socket and the
module will be released from it.
WARNING!!!
• Make sure to unplu your power supply before addin or removin memory
modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe
dama e to both your mainboard and expansion cards.
• Be careful when insertin or removin DIMM. Forcin a DIMM in or out
of a socket improperly may dama e the memory module or the socket.
Some DIMMs which contain EDO or FTP DRAM are incompliant with
the mainboard. The M/B supports 2.5V true SDRAM DIMMs only.
