CAUTION!

1. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 12 for proper installation.

2. 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 a nd the heatsink when you in stall the PC syste m.

3. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!

4. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft
ME.

5. 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. To perform over-clocking, you must set the FSB jumper
according to your AMD CPU before you use the “Manual” option as the
FSB setting in BIOS setup. Please check page 26 for details.

K7Upgrade-880 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.5-in, 30.5 cm x 21.6 cm)
motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the
power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the
power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or
the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a
safety grounded object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti­static 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 90° 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.

Installation of CPU Fan and HeatsinkInstallation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a
larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat
dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fas­tened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to
the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 8, No. 2). For proper
installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan
and the heatsink.

K7Upgrade-880 motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM
slots, and supports Dual Cha nnel Me mory Te chnology. For dual channel conf iguration,
you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)
DDR DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install
identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.8
No.7) or identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots;
see p.8 No.11), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This
motherboard also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual cha nnel conf iguration,
and please install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual
Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

DDR1 DDR2 DDR3 DDR4

(Blue Slot) (Black Slot) (Blue Slot) (Black Slot)
(1) Populated - Populated ­(2) - Populated - Populated
(3) Populated Populated Populated Populated

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility
and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the
same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots
(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed
in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate
the Dual Channel Memory T echnology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1
and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory
Technology.

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matche s 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.
