This chapter contains the following topics
ATTENTI N !!!
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 BI S
program, user SH ULD make sure of correct speci-
fication both of CPU CL CK and RATI . Incorrect
setting may cause damage to your CPU.

75DRV3/75DRV3+
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
SCKET 462
SCKET 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.

SCKET 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.
• nsert the module(s) as shown below, D MMs have 184-pins and one
notch that will be matched by the onboard D MM 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.

DRAM Key Position Voltage Key Position
2.5V
2-2 Memory Installation
Removing DIMM
• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a D MM 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.
