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.

Chapter 3
Introducing BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS
program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power
on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and
configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are
completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the
BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for
system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain
these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short
description of the function keys you may use here:
Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
•
•
Press
↑↓←→
(up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want
to confirm or to modify.
Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these
•
parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters
•
for the active option.
3-1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter Setup.
