CAUTION!
1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly before you resume the
system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when
you install the PC system.
2. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under
Microsoft® Windows® XP. It may not work properly under
Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/2000. Please refer to
Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
3. Although K7VM2 offers stepless control, it is not
recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU
frequency of K7VM2 is set to perform over clocking,
other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and Memory
clock will also be overclocked proportionally.
Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus
frequencies may cause the instability of the system or
damage the CPU.

Chapter 2 Installation
K7VM2 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6" x 7.5", 24.4 x 19.1 cm) motherboard. Before
you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or
removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical
injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the
motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
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.
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.
