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.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)
Hardware Setup
The mainboard supports AMD® PhenomTM, AthlonTM 64/ 64 FX/ 64 X2 and Sempron
processors in the socket AM2/ AM2+ package. The socket AM2/ AM2+ offers easy
CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink
and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the
heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://global.msi.com.tw/index.
php?func=cpuform
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. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste
(or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat
dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure
the safety of CPU.
Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please
make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal
setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond
product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee
the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond
product specifications.

3.Look for the gold arrow on the
CPU. The gold arrow should point
as shown in the picture. The CPU
can only fit in the correct
orientation. Lower the CPU down
onto the socket.
4.If the CPU is correctly installed,
the pins should be completely
embedded into the socket and can
not be seen. Please note that any
violation of the correct installation
procedures may cause permanent damage to your mainboard.
5.Press the CPU down firmly into
the socket and close the lever.
As the CPU is likely to move while
the lever is being closed, always
close the lever with your fingers
pressing tightly on top of the CPU
to make sure the CPU is properly
and completely embedded into
the socket.

Installing CPU Cooler Set
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and
cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the
computer.
Important
1. Read the CPU status in BIOS (Chapter 3).
2. Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the
CPU/ cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may
vary depending on the model you purchase.

Hardware Setup
Installing Memory Modules
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. The plastic
clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module
is properly seated.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot.
3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot
clips at the sides.
Volt
Important
1. In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules
of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
2. To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory
modules into the DIMM1 first.
3. Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only
be detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed
with a 2GB memory module.

Power Supply
ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply.
To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, make sure the plug of the
power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are
aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector.
You may use the 20-pin ATX power supply as you like. If you’d like
to use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with pin 1 & pin 13 (refer to the image at the right hand).
There is also a foolproof design on pin 11, 12, 23 & 24 to avoid
wrong installation.
