Hardware Installation
This section will assist you quickly in installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.
CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports AMD® AthlonTM 64 processor using a Socket 754. Before building your
system, we suggest you to visit the AMD website and review the processor installation procedures.
(http://www.amd.com
CPU Socket 754 Configuration Steps:
Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the locking lever away from the socket. Then
lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.
On the socket, locate the corner which has the “diagonally cut-corner” on the rectangular shaped
pattern of pinholes (see diagram below-left). Match that corner with the “gold triangle” on the CPU
(see diagram below-right) and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be
flush with the face of the socket.
Lower the lever until it snaps bac

RAID technology is a sophisticated disk management system that mana

Disk Striping (RAID 0)
Striping is a performance-oriented, nonmultiple disks are used to form a larger virtual disk. Data is then striped or mapped across all the
