1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or

removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially whenyou insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DCpower supply may result in serious damage to your system ormemory module.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally whileover-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity ofyour device.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Series User Manual

This motherboard supports AMD Athlon64 processors with a 1600 MT/s band-width and Hyper ThansportTM Technology.

1. Unlock the socket by pressing the le-ver sideways, then lift it up to a 90o

angle.

2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the base of the socket. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

When the CPU is in place, press itfirmly on the socket while you pushdown the socket lever to secure theCPU. The lever clicks on the side tabindicates that it is locked.

Gap in the base

Installation of CPUFollow these steps to install the CPU.

Push down the socketlever to secure the CPU.

Cut edge

Attention:

The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in thesocket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.

2. If required, apply a light coating ofsilica gel to the top of the CPU.

NOTE: The CPU heatsink may havea pre-applied thermal compound. Inthat case, the silica gel is not required.

4.Connect the fan’s power cableto the appropriate 3-pin terminalon the motherboard.

1. Locate the CPU retention mecha-nism base (surrounds the CPUsocket).

3. Attach the fan to the base.

Installation of CPU FanNew technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure isprovided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for theactual procedure.

Warning:

Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU andsystem. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor-mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damagingto the CPU.

Memory

This motherboard includes two 184-pin slots with 266/333/400 MHz SingleChannel DDR DRAM interface, You must install at least one memory module toensure normal operation. If you install two modules, they must be the samespeed. Mixing memory modules from different manufactures are notrecommended.

Installation of DDR Memory1. There is only one gap in the middle of the DIMM slot, and the memory module

can be fixed in one direction only.2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module

vertically into the DIMM slot.

3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.

Note:

Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or re-moving expansion cards or other system peripherals, espe-cially the memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or thesystem memory might be seriously damaged.

Expansion Slots

This motherboard includes three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots and one AGPslot.

PCI SlotsThe expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. When you install ortake out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulledout. Please carefully read the instructions provided for such cards, and installand set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as thejumper or BIOS settings.

AGP SlotThis motherboard has an AGP slot that supports 1.5 V AGP cards. AGP is aninterfacing specification designed to display 3D images. It provides a specialized66 MHz, 32-bit channel to allow the graphic controller to directly access themaster memory and supports 4X and 8X speeds.

Installing an expansion card1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came

with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.2. Be sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

BIOS Features

[SuperBoot] SuperBoot (Default: Disabled)SuperBoot allows system-relevant information to be stored in CMOS uponthe first normal startup of your PC, and the relevant parameters will berestored to help the system start up more quickly on each subsequent startup.

[SuperBIOS-Protect] SuperBIOS-Protect (Default: Disabled)Super-BIOS Protect function protects your PC from being affected by viruses,e.g. CIH.

[SuperRecovery] SuperRecovery Hotkey (Default: LSHIFT+F12)SuperRecovery provides the users with an excellent data protection andHDD recovery function.

[SuperSpeed] CPU Clock (depend on CPU)The conventional over-clock method uses the jumpers on the motherboard,and it is both troublesome and apt to errors. By using SuperSpeed, a CPUcan be overclocked by keying in the desired in the CPU clock range.

Power Management Setup

ACPI function (Default: Enabled)ACPI stands for “Advanced Configuration and Power Interface”. ACPI is astandard that defines power and configuration management interfaces betweenan operating system and the BIOS. In other words, it is a standard thatdescribes how computer components work together to manage systemhardware. In order to use this function, the ACPI specification must be supportedby the OS (for example, Windows2000 or WindowsXP).

When you select “S3 (STR)” mode, the power will be cut off aftera delay period. The status of the computer before it enters STR will be savedin memory, and the computer can quickly return to previous status when theSTR function wakes. When you select “S1 & S3” mode, the system willautomatically select the delay time.
