AMD Athlon™ XP / 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.

The V400DA motherboard is design for use AMD Athlon/Duron/Athlon XP
200MHz/266MHz/333MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus Frequency CPU,
which utilize the Socket-A design and the memory size expandable to 3.0GB.
V400DA motherboard use the newest VIA KT400 chipset, whose 333/266MHz
(Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus frequency delivers a clear upgrade path to the
future generation of 200/266/333MHz processors. The V400DA provided 266/333/
400MHz memory frequency supported DDR266/DDR333 DDR SDRAM. The V400DA
motherboard offers ULTRA ATA 133 to provide speedier HDD throughout that
boosts overall system performance.
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. It Supports 4 channel Speaker for 3D Surround Effect.
For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an AGP 8X slot is included on
the board.
With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB function ports support
USB2.0/USB1.1 Devices, the V400DA meet future USB demand also this motherboard
has built-in hardware monitor function. This will monitor and protect your
computer.
A special design in hardware for protecting Athlon XP CPU from burned, the
system will auto shutdown power supply when CPU is overheat or the CPU FAN is
stop.
In V400DA we design in DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP 1.5V 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 V400DA motherboard provides
special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing let
users to approach over clocking.
V400DA provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is
really wise choice for your computer.

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon XP & Duron 462-pin CPU
This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon XP /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.
Over heat Protect: Only for Athlon XP serial CPU, when the CPU overheat, system will
auto shut down power supply. You can hear a continue beep sound, the
power button will be locked up. Users must turn off and turn on the AC
power to reset the system otherwise the power button will no function,
the other way is keeping press the push button few seconds till the beep
sound stop, then release the power button and press the power button
again to turn on the power supply.
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.

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 PCS Total Memory
Bank 0, 1 (DDR1)
Bank 2, 3 (DDR2) PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Bank 4, 5 (DDR3) PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
Total System Memory (Max. 3.0GB) 3 64MB∼3.0GB
PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM X1 64MB∼1.0GB
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 PC2100/PC2700 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.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only PC2700compliant 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 PC2100compliant, 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
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.
