3.2 Installation You Have to Know
m

Installing CPU
This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon 64 Socket 754 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).
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper
interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the
socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation.

Installing CPU and System Fans
Plug the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan,
you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector.

Installing Memory Modules
DIMM slots are designed in black which are very easy to recognize. Insert the
module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly
until the DIMM module is securely in place.

Note: The tabs of the
DIMM slot will clip to hold the
DIMM in place when the DIMM
touches the slot’s bottom.

Connecting IDE and Floppy Cables
Connect the 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable to floppy
connector and IDE connector. Be careful of the pin1 orientation. Wrong
orientation may cause system damage.

Connecting Front Panel Cable
Attach the power LED, speaker and reset switch connectors to the corresponding
pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED
will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing, which is a 2-pin female
connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power
switch connector marked SPWR.

Connecting ATX Power Cables
This motherboard comes with a 20-pin and 4-pin ATX power connector as shown
below. Make sure you plug them in the right direction. We strongly recommend
you to insert the 4-pin connector before connecting the 20-pin connector.
