AMD Athlon™ XP/ Athlon™/ Duron™ Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speed and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heat sink s induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area a nd c onc entr ated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified maximum Tcase requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors.

2-3-1 Glossary
Chipset (or core logic) - two or more integrated circuits which control the interfaces between the system processor, RAM, I/O devises, and adapter cards.
Processor Slot/Socket - the slot or socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard. Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM. AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port - a high speed interface for video cards; runs at 1X (66MHz), 2X
(133MHz), 4X (266MHz), or 8X (533MHz). PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect - a high speed interface for video cards, sound cards, network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz. ISA - Industry Standard Architecture - a relatively low speed interface primarily used for sound cards and modems; runs at approx. 8MHz.
Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems. Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers. PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards. USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards,
scanners, and some digital cameras. Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices.
LAN (interface) - Local Area Network - the interface to your local area network. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and establish the
relationship between the various components. Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or other software. Processor - the "central processing unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for doing the "computing" in "personal computer" Front Side Bus Frequency - the working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS. CPU L2 Cache - the flash memory inside the CPU, normally Athlon CPU has 256K or above, while Duron will have 64K.
2-3-2 About AMD Athlon XP, Athlon & Duron 462-pin CPU
This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon/Duron processors. This motherboard Provides a ZIF Socket-A. The CPU to be used with the motherboard
should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink and
CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
WARNING! Due to this motherboard provides new function of protecting CPU;you must
connect the CPU FAN connector on CPUFAN location in order to obtain this feature. Without connection on CPUFAN (or you have connect CPU FAN on SFAN1), the system will shut down immediately to protect both your CPU and motherboard.
8
Overheat Protect: Only for Athlon XP series CPU, when the CPU is overheated, system will
automatically shut down power supply. You can hear a continue beep sound, the power button will be locked up. You must turn off and turn on the AC power to reset the system. Otherwise, the power button will not function. The other way is to keep pressing the button for a few seconds till the beep sound stops. Then, release the power button and press the power button again to turn on the power supply.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket and lift the lever upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should be pointed toward the end of the lever. The CPU has corner pin on two of the four corners and the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING! F or the DDR SDRAM CLOCK setting of 166MHz, use only DDR333 compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operates at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
WARNING! Turn off the power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system
components. Failing to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards.
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation of the expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting on the expansion card, such as jumpers, before installing.
2. Remove computer cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver of expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available, but most of them might already be in use.
