BIOS:
OS:
CAUTION!
1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/
ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
4. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU
bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the
CPU. The CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the
jumper-setting. You must set the FSB jumper according to your AMD CPU
before you use the “Manual” option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to
perform over clocking. Please check page 26 of the User Manual in the
Support CD for details.

Pre-installation Precautions
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-
board components or change any motherboard settings.
1.
2.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the car-
pet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or
touch a safety grounded object before you handle components.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
3.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a
grounded antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the
component.
5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the
motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the
screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

STEP 1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o angle.
STEP 2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked
corner matches the base of the socket lever.
STEP 3: Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU
into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
STEP 4: When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you
push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on
the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly
refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the slot.
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the
slot at incorrect orientation.
STEP 3:
Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends
fully snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
