CAUTION!

1. 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 and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

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

3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft 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 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 jumper-setting. You must adjust “FSB Select Jumpers” according to the FSB of your AMD CPU before you set the “CPU Host Frequency” configuration as “Manual” in BIOS. See page 13 for the details of “FSB Select Jumpers” adjustment, and page 25 of “User Manual” in the Support CD for “CPU Host Frequency” configuration.

2. Installation

K7VT6 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 7.0-in, 30.5 cm x 17.8 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-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.

2.1 CPU Installation

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 1 Step 2, 3 Step 4

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

AMD Athlon

/ Athlon

XP/ DuronTM family CPUs with a speed of 600 MHz a nd higher require larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink is also needed to improve heat transfer. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other . Then connect the CPU fa n to the CPU F AN conne ctor (CPU_F AN1, see page 7, No. 2). For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and heatsink vendors.
