Appendix
Warning:
1. Attach the CPU and heatsink 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 re
moving 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.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Take note of the following precautions before you install components
or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object, such
as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching any
components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or into the antistatic bag that it came in.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
This motherboard supports Socket 940 for AMD OpteronTM processors running
at 1GHz for extremely high throughput (8.0GB/sec) and Hyper Transport
TM
Technology.
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.
Cut edge
Gap in the base
Push down the socket
lever to secure the CPU.
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.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.
To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,
overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is
provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the
actual procedure.
CPU Fan
CPU Heatsink
CPU Retention Mechanism
CPU Retention Bracket
1. Locate the CPU retention mechanism base (surrounds the CPU
socket).
CPU Retention Lock
2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
10
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
3. Place the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Attach one end
of the retention bracket to retention
mechanism.
5. Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to secure
the heatsink and fan to module base.
4.Align the other end of the retention bracket to fasten the cooling
set on the top of the retention
mechanism.
6.Connect the fan’s power cable to the appropriate 3-pin terminal on the
motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Memory
This motherboard includes four 184-pin slots with 266/333/400 MHz Dule Channel DDR DRAM interface (registered),You must install at least one memory
module to ensure normal operation. If you install two or more modules, they
must be the same speed. Mixing memory modules from different manufactures are not recommended.
The processor (CPU) model supported by this motherboard includes a system
memory controller. Therefore overclocking the CPU frequency will also overclock
the system memory frequency. Please make sure your memory is rated to perform
at the overclocked frequency, e.g. if you overclock the CPU frequency to 240MHz, the
system memory should be capable of operating at 480MHz level or above, effectively at DDR480 level or above.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Installation of DDR Memory
1. There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module
can be fixed in one direction only.
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.
Note:
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing expansion cards or other system peripherals, espe-
14
cially the memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the
system memory might be seriously damaged.
