This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards,
and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system
component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may find some of functions are called
“Manufacturer Upgrade Optional”, and some are called “User Upgrade Optional”. Though all AOpen motherboards include many
amazing and powerful features, in some situations, these powerful features are not used to every user. Hence, we changed
some key features as “Manufacturer Upgrade Optional” for you to choose. Some optional functions that can be upgraded by
users, we call them “User Upgrade Optional”. As for those optional functions that can’t be upgraded by ourselves, we call them
“Manufacturer Upgrade Optional”. If needed, you can contact our local distributors or resellers for purchasing “User Upgrade
Optional” components, and again you can visit AOpen official web site: http://english.aopen.com.tw/
for more detail information.

This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into
CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection function implemented, the system will be automatically power off when the
temperature of CPU reached 97 degree, but works on AthlonXP CPU only).
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and
up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.

With AMD platform substantially keeps increasing the speed of its CPU, it inevitably led to the annoying problem of high CPU
operation temperature at the same time. In order to prevent accidental failure of CPU fan, which could cause the burning down
of the AthlonXP CPU, we, AOpen, have meticulously developed a new technology, named, O.H.P. (Overheat Protection)
Technology to protect them. Thanks to the intelligent monitoring design of AOpen O.H.P. technology, user can now finally set
their mind at ease even when fan failed to work without
fearing the possible damage of CPU.
Under the circumstances that CPU fan is running properly,
AthlonXP temperature should be way below the highest
temperature limit of 97 ℃ . However, if CPU fan
accidentally becomes malfunction or improperly installed,
the CPU temperature would rocket abruptly, and you may
find your system hang up or crying over the smoking CPU
if you haven’t installed AOpen O.H.P. previously. With
AOpen O.H.P. technology applied, the specific thermal
detection pins on AthlonXP CPU would sense voltage
difference when processor is overheated with fan failed,
and the overheat protection system would immediately
send out a signal to abort your system by cutting CPU
electricity before any damage is done. Unlike other
manufacturers who use BIOS or software to control the
power supply of CPU, AOpen O.H.P. Technology is purely
hardware-controlled the minute after system boot-up, and occupies no system resource. We are pleasant to phase in this
practical function on all AOpen AMD series motherboards to protect customer’s valuable hardware and personal data.
