2-1 CPU INSTALLATION
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket, and then raise the lever up
to a 90-degree angle.
2. Take note of the red circle as below picture. While inserting the PU into
the socket, you can find out there is a definite pin orientation for PU and
socket.

2-2 AMD SOCKET A (SOCKET 462) PROCESSOR
• 75KV/75KV-X motherboard works with AMD Athlon ThunderbirdTM and
DuronTM processor series. There is a simply way for user to distinguish
between these two kinds of PU. As the demontration, you can see some
little descriptions on the center of processor. Please pay attention to the
first alphabert: the “D” represents AMD Athlon DuronTM processor, and the
“A” represents AMD Athlon ThunderbirdTM processor.

2-4 JUMPER DEFINITIONS
• The figure below shows the location fo the motherboard’s jumper blocks.
CAUTION
• Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always trun off the power and
unplug the power cord from the computer before changing the jumper.
Otherwise, the motherboard could be damaged.
PU FAN
FAN1/FAN2: ONBOARD FAN (12V)
FAN2
FAN1
SYSTEM FAN
Those connectors support processor/system/chassis cooling fan
with +12V. Those support three pin head connector. When con-
necting the wire to FAN connectors, user should give attention that
the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V,
the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
motherboard has Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must
use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage
of this function.
For fans with fan speed sensor, every rotation of the fan will send
out 2 pulses. System Hardware Monitor will count and report the
fan rotation speed.
NOTE 1: Always consult vendor for proper PU cooling fan.
NOTE 2: PU FAN supports the FAN control. You can install P
Alert utility. This will automatically control the PU FAN
speed according to the actual PU temperature.

VIO allows you to select the oltage supplied to the DRAM,
chipset, AGP, PCI, and the CPU’s I/O buffer. The default oltage
(3.3V) should be used unless processor o erclocking requires
a higher oltage.
NOTE! Using a higher voltage may help when overclocking
but may result in the shortening of your computer
components’s life. It is strongly recommended that you
leave this setting on its default.

A battery must be used to retain the motherboard configuration

NOTE : You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin when the
system is POWER OFF. Then, return to 1-2 pin
position (default). It may damage the motherboard if
clearing the CMOS in POWER ON status. Unplug
the power cord from power supply before clearing
CMOS will be a best bet for user.

module mounts to a small opening on system cases;
that support this feature.;
User must also configure the setting through ;
BIOS program "Peripheral Setup" to select whether ;
UART2 is directed for use with COM2 or IrDA. ;
Use the fi e pins and connect a ribbon cable from ;
the module to the motherboard's IR connector ;
according to the pin definitions.

DESCRIPTION
This allows user to manually place the system into a;
suspend mode or "Green" mode, where system;
acti ity is decreased to sa e electricity and prolong;
the life of certain components when the system is ;
not in use. This 2-oin connector connects to the ;
case-mounted suspend switch. If you do not ha e a ;
switch for the connector, you may use the "Turbo ;
Switch".;
SMI is acti ated when it detects a short to open;
moment and therefore lea ing it shorted will not ;
cause any problems. This may require one or two ;
presses depending on the position of the switch.;
Wake-Up can be controlled by settings in the BIOS;
but the keyboard will always allow wake-up(the SMI;
lead cannot wake up the system).
