Installation Guide

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports Intel® processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket-775 for easy CPU

installation. For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/

pro_mbd_cpu_support.php.

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU & Cooler Installation Procedures for Socket 775

1. The CPU socket 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.

2. Remove the cap from lever hinge side.

3. The pins of socket reveal.

4. Open the load lever.

5. Lift the load lever up and open the load plate.

6. After confirming the CPU direction for correct mating, put down the CPU in the socket housing

frame. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys are matched.

7. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with pure vertical

motion and reinstall.

8. Cover the load plate onto the package.

9. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook under

retention tab.

10.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.

11.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.

12.Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are correctly inserted.

alignment key

English

Important

1.Check the information in BIOS for the CPU temperature.

2. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered 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.

- In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DDR DIMM slots.

- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first.

Installing DDR/ DDRII Modules

You can find the notch on the memory modules and the volt on the DIMM slots whether DDR or DDRII. Follow the procedures below to install the DDR/ DDRII module properly.

1. The DDR/DDRII modules has only one notch on the center of module. The module 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 socket.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. The CPUFAN1 supports Smart FAN function. When connect the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the fan control.
