CAUTION!

1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please che ck 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. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on K7VM3’s AGP slot! It may cause permanent damage!

3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

4. Although K7VM3 offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of K7VM3 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.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2. T o 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.

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.

Step 5. Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to

the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

(see p.2 item 13) (see p.2 item 18)

Note: CLRCMOS1 and CLRCMOS2 allow you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in

CMOS includes system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup parameters. There are 2 ways for you to clear and reset the system parameters to the default setup. Please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord, then you may either short the solder points on CLRCMOS1 by using metal material, e.g., a paper clip, for 3 seconds; or you may use a jumper cap to short the pin on CLRCMOS2 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the paper clip or the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS.
