MSI Special Features

PC Alert™ III

The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The utility is just like
your PC doctor that can detect the following PC
hardware status during real time operation:

ö monitor CPU & system temperatures
ö monitor fan speed(s)
ö monitor system voltage
ö monitor chassis intrusion

If one of the items above is abnormal, the
program main screen will be immediately shown
on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted
in red. This will continue to be shown until user
disables the warning.

MSI Reminds You...

1. Items shown on PC Alert™ III vary depending on your system status.

2. The mainboard bound with MS-9569 BMC card (Server Manage­ment Features) won’t support PC Alert™ III.

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel® Xeon™ processor(s). The
mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 604 for easy CPU installation. You
can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the
following points in mind before installing CPU(s):

1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.

CPU1

Recommended inlet air
direction

2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs
running at the same FSB frequency.

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 find the

Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer.

MSI Reminds You...

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
The system temperature needs to remain under 45°C.
We highly recommend that the direction of inlet air should follow the
direction indicated above for better cooling effect.

Replacing the CPU

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

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 604

1.Please turn off the power and
unplug the power cord before
installing the CPU.

2.Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 170-de­gree angle.

3.Look for the gold arrow. The gold
arrow should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU can only fit
in the correct orientation.

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 damages 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.

Memory Population Rules

The mainboard supports dual-channel mode. You can install either single- or

double-sided modules to meet your own needs. In dual-channel mode, make sure

that you install memory modules of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs “in
pairs” -- {DIMM1 & DIMM2}, {DIMM3 & DIMM4}, {DIMM5 & DIMM6}, {DIMM7 &
DIMM8}.

Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

DDR-II 400 DIMM slot population

Hardware Setup

Installing DDR-II Modules

1. The DDR-II DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will
only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the DIMM 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.

MSI Reminds You...

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly inserted
in the socket.

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