Installing the Processor

Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface -mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components.

On most mainboards, there are small surface -mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed.

Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the mainboard and processor socket.

Before installing the Processor

This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.

Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affe ct the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.

This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache m emory.

The following processor is currently supported by this mainboard.

Athlon XP: 1500+ ~ 2000+; FSB: 266 MHz

Athlon: 650 MHz~1.4 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz, 266 MHz

Duron: 550 MHz~1.2 GHz, FSB: 200 MHz

CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

Installing Memory Modules

This mainboard accommodates two 168-pin 3.3V and two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered SDRAM/DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate SDRAM) memory modules.

SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR

SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by SDRAM.

Installation Procedure

You must install at least one memory module in order to use the mainboard.

Note: You cannot use DDR

SDRAM and SDRAM simultaneously.

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.

1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.

2. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.

Using BIOS

A b o u t t t t h e S e t t u p U t t i i l l i i t t y

The computer uses the latest AMI BIOS with support for Windows Plug and

Play. The CMOS chip on the mainboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the mainboard BIOS.

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters.

The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is tu rned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.

The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:

•

Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals

•

Video display type and display options

•

Password protection from unauthorized use

•

Power management features

The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.

This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

The Standard Configuration

A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.

This Setup Utility should be used:

• when changing the system configuration

• when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility

• when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts

• when making changes to the Power Management configuration

• when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup

Running the Setup Utility

Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a message appears on the screen that prompts you to “Hit <DEL> if you want to run

SETUP”. When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.
