Hardware Setup

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™ processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 14

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements.

= 100MHz x 14 = 1.4 GHz

AMD Athlon™/Duron™/Athlon™ XP processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires a LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMD’s website for reference.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 462

1. Please turn off the power and

unplug the power cord before installing the CPU.

Open Lever

2. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation.

4. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your mainboard.

5. Press the CPU down firmly into

the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.

Installing AMD Athlon CPU (Socket 462) Cooler Set

The following instructions will guide you through the heat sink installation procedures. Please consult your agent for the proper CPU cooler set.

1. Position your CPU cooler set onto the CPU.

2. Use one end of the clip to hook the latch of the CPU sliding plate.

3. Hook the other latch to fix the cooling fan set. You may need a screw drive to press down the other side of the clip.

Hardware Setup

Apply some heat

sink paste

4. Connect the fan to the power supply connector provided on your mainboard.

MSI Reminds You...

Please apply some heat sink paste on top of your CPU to dissipate the heat more effectively.

MS-6734 M-ATX Mainboard

CPU Clock Frequency Selection through BIOS

The hardware configuration for CPU clock frequency of the motherboard is set to 100MHz by default. Therefore, to make a 133MHz CPU run at 133MHz when it is installed on the board, you have to adjust the CPU clock frequency in the BIOS setup utility. To set the clock frequency for the installed CPU, refer to Frequency/Voltage Control in Chapter 3. BIOS Setup.

MSI Reminds You...

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclocking

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guar-

antee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

Hardware Setup

Memory

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You can install PC2700/ DDR333, PC2100/DDR266 or PC1600/DDR200 modules on the DDR DIMM slots.

DIMM 1 DDR S/D 64MB~1GB (Bank 0 & 1) DIMM 2 DDR S/D 64MB~1GB (Bank 2 & 3)

Maximum System Memory Suppported 64MB~2GB

S: Single Side D: Double Side

Installing DDR Modules

1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
