1. Attach the CPU and heat sink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

This motherboard supports socket 462 CPU with a FSB 400/333/266 MHz and
Hyper Transport link.
Attention:
The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in the
socket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.
Installation of CPU
Follow these steps to install the CPU.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90
o
angle.
2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the
base of the socket. Carefully insert
the CPU into the socket until it fits in
place.
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.
The following procedure is provided for reference only, please refer to your
CPU fan user guide for the actual procedure.
1.Locate the CPU retention mechanism
base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heat sink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
4. Connect the fan’s power cable
to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works normally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging
to the CPU.

This motherboard includes two 184-pin slots with 2.5 V Single-Channel DIMM
sockets, so you can install Single-Channel DDR266/333/400 memory. You must
install at least one memory bank to ensure normal operation.
Memory configurations
You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB DDR DIMMs into the DIMM
sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
The following is important information on memory configurations:
1. The following table lists the DDR266/333/400/466/500 memory modules
that have been tested and qualified for use with this motherboard.
1. There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module
can be fixed in one direction only. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module
clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically
into the DIMM slot.

3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
Warning :
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing
expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the
memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the system
memory might be seriously damaged.
This motherboard uses an ATX power supply. In order to avoid damaging any
devices, make sure that they have been installed properly prior to connecting
the power supply.
