AMD Socket A Processor Thermal Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance with
increasing operation clock, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial
while building computer systems. Maintaining the proper computing environment
without thermal increasing is the key to reliable, stable, and 24 hours system
operation. The overall goal is keeping the processor below its specified
maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat
dissipation through increasing surface area and concentrated airflow from
attached active cooling 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.
Please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and
recommended for Socket-A processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is
not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support
Socket-A processors.

Chapter 1
Introduction of V500DA / V500DAP Motherboard
Thank you for purchasing the V500 series which provide extremely
performance and meet future specification demand.
V500 series motherboards are adopted with advanced technologies to deliver the
extremely performance for socket A processors. V500 series motherboards also
feature AGP 8X, Serial ATA RAID0, 1, USB 2.0 as well as 6-channel audio which are
based on the advanced VIA KT400A chipset with FSB 333MHz and DDR 400 MHz
support. Now we could know more details by reading the features of motherboards
below.
1-1 Feature of motherboard
V500 series motherboards are designed for AMD Socket-A
200MHz/266MHz/333MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus Frequency CPUs
and the memory size expandable to 3.0GB.
By using VIA KT400A chipset which provides 333/266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front
Side Bus frequency and DDR266/333/400 SDRAM support as a obvious further step
to the next generation of 200/266/333MHz processors. V500 series motherboards
also offer ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID0, 1 functions to provide speedier
HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
Integrated AC’97 CODEC audio on system supports 6 channel speaker for 3D
Surround Effect which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the
best sound quality and compatibility. AGP 8X slot enables more complex models
and detailed textures with AGP 8X graphic accelerators which creates richer and
more lifelike virtual environments. VIA VT6103 LAN PHY supports 10/100Mbps data
transfer rate full duplex, half duplex operation. USB control as well as capability of
expanding to 8 USB function ports support USB2.0/1.1 Devices.
Built-in hardware monitor function will monitor and protect your computer which is
the special design in hardware for protecting Athlon XP CPU from burned, and will
shutdown power supply automatically when CPU is overheated or the CPU cooling
fan is not working.
Minor adjustable DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP 1.5V Voltage, and other special
functions allows user to increase CPU Host clock step by step by setting up BIOS to
approach over clocking and increasing stability of the system.

USB - Universal Serial Bus - the medium speed interface typically used for mouse,
keyboards, 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 links to local area network.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and
establish the relationship between 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.

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 and heatsink attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case,
then purchase a correct cooling fan with heatsink 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 even damage, you may
install an auxiliary cooling FAN if it’s necessary.
WARNING!
Due to this motherboard provides new function of CPU over-heated
protection; make sure to connect the CPU FAN with the connector on
CPUFAN location of the motherboard in order to obtain this feature
works. Without connection with CPUFAN (or you have connected CPU
FAN with FAN1), 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 overheated, the system
will auto shut down the power supply. You could hear a continual
beeps, and 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 beeps stop, then release the power button and press the
power button again to turn on the system power supply.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. To locate the ZIF socket
and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to
90-degree. 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.
Socket 462
Colden Arrow
CPU ZIF Socket-A
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force needed to insert of the CPU, then
press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-4 To install the system 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 2, 3 (DDR2) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1
Bank 4, 5 (DDR3) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1

NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory does not exceed 3.0GB, otherwise the
system may hang during startup.
Generally speaking, 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/PC3200 DDR SDRAM
module looks like.
NOTE!
WARNING!
Figure 2-4
DDR2 ( BANK2+ BANK3)
DDR1 ( BANK0+ BANK1)
DDR3 ( BANK4+ BANK5)
When you install DIMM modules fully into the DIMM sockets the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM modules firmly and fit to its indention on
both sides.
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only PC2700-
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 PC2100-compliant,
set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 To install the 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. To read documentations or manuals for your expansion cards and make any necessary
hardware or software settings for your expansion card such as jumpers.

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need to assign an IRQ address to operate. Generally speaking, an
IRQ address must exclusively assign to one use only. With standard factory 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
