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.

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:
• 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 BIOS
Setup. If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter BIOS
Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET”
button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>
and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not
boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to
Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup
