ATTENTION !!!
1. P ease refer to your processor insta ation or other
documentation attached to your CPU for more detai ed
insta ing instruction.
2. Insta ing a heat sink and coo ing fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect
insta ation may resu t 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.

2-1 CPU INSTALLATION
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.
SOCKET 462
AMD
2Take notice of the red circles
as shown here. While insert-
ing the CPU into the socket,
you can find out there is a
definite pin orientation for
CPU and socket.
SOCKET 462
1Pull out the lever from the
socket, and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
AMD
SOCKET 462
3 Make sure that the CPU is
placed into the socket tightly.
Then lower down the lever
to complete the CPU insta-
llation.

Removing DIMM
• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a DIMM socket and the
module will be released from it.
Insta ing DIMM
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.
• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 1 8-pins and two
notches 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.
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 FPM DRAM are incompliant with
the mainboard. The M/B supports 3.3V true SDRAM DIMMs only.

• 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.
Hard Disk Drive Connector:
Orient the red line on the
IDE ribbon cable to Pin1.
