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.

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! 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.
WARNING! 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 90degree 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)
Figure 2-4
NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
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 P C2100-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!
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.
2-5-1 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.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
