This chapter contains the following topics :
ATTENTION !!!
1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached to your CPU for detailed in-
stalling instruction.
2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary
for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect
installation may result in overheating and damage
of your CPU.
3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from BIOS
program, user SHOULD make sure of correct speci-
fication both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO. Incorrect
setting may cause damage to your CPU.

16
75DRV2
WARNING !!!
• 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 inserting
the CPU into the socket, you
can find out there is a definite
pin orientation for CPU and
socket.
2
Pull out the lever from the
socket, and then raise the
lever up to a 90 degree angle.

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
Installing 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.

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 DDR SDRAM only.

CAUTION!!
The AGP Pro slot comes with a warnin label over the 20-pin bay. Do not
remove this label and the safety tab underneath if you use an AGP card
without a retention notch. Without the labels, AGP cards may be placed
into the wron place, which certainly will dama e your card, slot, and
mainboard. Remove the label ONLY if you will be usin an AGP Pro card.

• To install HDD (Hard Disk Drive), you may connect the cable’s blue
connector to the mainboard’s primary (IDE1) or secondary (IDE2)
connector, and then connect the gray connector to your slave device and
the black connector to your master device. If you install two hard disks,
you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper
accordingly. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper
settings.
