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.

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 0, 1 (DIMM1) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1

Bank 2, 3 (DIMM2) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1

Bank 4, 5 (DIMM3) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1

Total System Memory (Max. 3.0GB) 3

NOTE!

For support Dual channel function must install both DIMM1 and DIMM3 at the

64MB∼1.0GB

64MB∼3.0GB

same time. 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!

DIMM2 (BANK2+ BANK3 )

DIMM1 (BANK0+ BANK1 )

DIMM1 & DIMM3: Dual Channel 1

DIMM3 (BANK4+ BANK5 )

Figure 2-4

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 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 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. To remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.

3. To align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. To secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.

5. To replace the computer system’s cover.

6. To set up the BIOS if it’s necessary.

7. To install the necessary software drivers for your expansion cards.

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.

Chapter 3

Introducing BIOS Settings

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory of the motherboard. Using this program

as a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When the computer starting to

work, 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:

operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By

choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing

“ECP+EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes

simultaneously. The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard

parallel port with the ECP feature. After selecting it, the following message will appear:

“ECP Mode Use DMA” at this time, the user can choose between DMA channels 3 to 1.

The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so after the user chooses the onboard

parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will be displayed on the

screen: “EPP Mode Select.” At this time either EPP 1.7 spec. or EPP 1.9 spec. can be

chosen.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
