This chapter contains the following topics :
ATT NTION !!!
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.

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
SOCKT 462
SOCKT 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.

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

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 1 4-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.

2-2 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 unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory
modules or other system omponents. Failure to do so may ause severe
damage to both your mainboard and expansion ards.
• Be areful when inserting or removing DIMM. For ing a DIMM in or out
of a so ket improperly may damage the memory module or the so ket.
Some DIMMs whi h ontain EDO or FTP DRAM are in ompliant with
the mainboard. The M/B supports 2.5V DDR SDRAM DIMMs only.

• To install HDD (Hard Disk Drive), you may connect the cable’s blue con-
nector to the mainboard’s primary ( DE1) or secondary ( DE2) connector,
and then connect the gray connector to your slave device and the black
connector to your master device. f 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.
Hard Disk Drive Connector:
Orient the red line on the DE
ribbon cable to Pin1.
