Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium 4 / Celeron DTM (LGA775) processor. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. When you are installing the CPU,
make sure to install the heat sink/cooler to prevent overheating. If you do
not have the CPU, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on
the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/
products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php
Important
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

LGA775 CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on
the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the cooler, contact your dealer
to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not
forget to apply some silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing the heat
sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will
cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.
1.The CPU has a plastic cap on it to
protect the contact from damage.
Before you have installed the CPU,
always cover it to protect the socket
pin.
3.The pins of socket reveal.
2.Remove the cap from lever hinge side
(as the arrow shows).
4.Open the load lever.
Important
1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
2. Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
3. The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.
2-4
Page 18
Hardware Setup
5.Lift the load lever up and open the
load plate.
7.Visually inspect if the CPU is
seated well into the socket. If not,
take out the CPU with purely vertical motion and reload it again. Then
cover the load plate onto the
package.
6.After confirming the CPU direction for
correction mating, put down the CPU
in the socket housing frame. Be sure
to grape on the edge of the substrate.
Note that the alignment keys are
matched.

key
8. Press down the load lever lightly
onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook under
retention tab.
9. Align the holes on the mainboard
with the cooler. Push down the
cooler until its four clips get
wedged into the holes of the
mainboard.
10.Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. Then rotate the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it) to lock the
hooks.

11.Turn over the mainboard to confirm
that the clip-ends are correctly
inserted.
Important
1.Check the information in BIOS (Chapter 3) for the CPU temperature.
2. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the
plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.
3. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20 cycles.
Therefore we suggest you do not plug/unplug the CPU too often.

Memory
The mainboard provides two 184-pin unbuffered DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 DDR
SDRAM, and supports the memory size up to 2GB without ECC. To operate properly,
at least one DIMM module must be installed.
For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
