AMD Athlon™ / Duron™ Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
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, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor. When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors.

This motherboard use the newest VIA KT-266 chipset, whose 133MHz/266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus frequency and 266MHz memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 266MHz processors and PC-1600/PC­2100 DDR DRAM. The 866AS/866AS-R/866ASE motherboard offers ULTRA ATA
to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
100
866AS-R including IDE RAID chipset and added extra 2 channel IDE interface supports either ATA100, or RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring) function. Use RAID0 function it can increasing data storage performance, use RAID1 function it can protect data which save in hard disk drive.
These motherboards also has an integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility.
For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an AGP 4X slot is included on the board.
With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB function ports, the 866AS/866AS-R/866ASE meet future USB demand also this motherboard has built-in hardware monitor function. This will monitor and protect your computer.
Only for 866AS/866AS-R we design in CPU Vcore Voltage, System 3.3V Voltage, DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP 1.5V/3.3V Voltage those can minor adjustable in BIOS setup. This design can let users approach over clock demand and also can make system more stable
. The 866AS/866AS-R/866ASE motherboard provides special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing let users to approach over clocking.
866AS/866AS-R/866ASE provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is really wise choice for your computer.

Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems.
10
Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers.
PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards.
USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse, keyboards,
scanners, scanners, and some digital cameras.
Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound connectors and speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices.
LAN (interface) - Local Area Network - the interface to your local area network.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and
establish the relationship between the various components.
Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or other software.
Processor - the "central processing unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for doing the "computing" in "personal computer"
Front Side Bus Frequency -
the working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated
by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.

the flash memory inside the CPU, normally Athlon CPU has 256K or above,
while Duron will have 64K.
2-3-2 About AMD Athlon & Duron 462-pin CPU
This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon/Duron processors.
This motherboard Provides a ZIF Socket-A. The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
Due to this motherboard provides new function of protecting CPU;you must connect the CPU FAN connector on FAN1 location in order to obtain this feature. Without connection on FAN1 (or you have connect CPU FAN on FAN2), the system will shut down immediately to protect both your CPU and motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

CPU ZIF Socket-A
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 3.0GB DDR SDRAM.
Valid Memory Configurations
Bank 184-Pin DIMM Total Memory
Bank 0, 1 (DDR1) PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Bank 2, 3 (DDR2) PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Bank 4, 5 (DDR3) PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Total System Memory (Max. 3.0GB) 3 64MB∼3.0GB
NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 3.0GB, otherwise the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM module looks like.
DDR2 (BANK2 + BANK3)
DDR1 (BANK0 + BANK1)
DDR3 (BANK4 + BANK5)
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
Figure 2-4
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
12
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC2100-compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not PC266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
WARNING!
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.
Standard Interrupt Assignments
IRQ Priority Standard function
0 N/A System Timer 1 N/A Keyboard Controller 2 N/A Programmable Interrupt 3 * 8 Communications Port (COM2) 4 * 9 Communications Port (COM1) 5 * 6 Sound Card (sometimes LPT2) 6 * 11 Floppy Disk Controller 7 * 7 Printer Port (LPT1) 8 N/A System CMOS/Real Time Clock
9 * 10 ACPI Mode when enabled 10 * 3 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 11 * 2 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 12 * 4 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port 13 N/A Numeric Data Processor 14 * 5 Primary IDE Channel 15 * 1 Secondary IDE Channel
* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

IMPORTANT!
If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.
