Thermal Solution
To prevent the system from overheating, we have adopted a specially designed CPU
cooler and multiple ventilation holes for better cooling effects. The specially designed
CPU cooler supports Intel® LGA775 - Prescott Pentium® D and Conroe CoreTM E6000
Sequence. The following figures illustrate how the system fan effectively exhausts
hot air through multiple ventilation holes.

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.
ONLY FOR SERVICE PERSONEL
Always unplug the power cord before
inserting any add-on card or module.

Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports Intel® Prescott Pentium® D and Intel® Conroe CoreTM E6000
Sequence. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have
the CPU cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the
computer.
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 power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.
Overclocking
This motherboard 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.

Overview
The built-in mainboard (MS-7334) is designed for Hetis 965 Series (MS-6441) barebone
only. Except the mainboard, the built-in components of the barebone include power
supply. In this chapter, we will show you how to install CPU, CPU Cooler, Memory
Modules, Card Reader, Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Optical Disk Drive (ODD).
Installation Tools
Cross type screwdriver, can be used to do most of the
installation. Choose one with a magnetic head would be better.
Pliers, can be used as an auxiliary tool to connect some connectors or cables.
Forceps, can be used to pick up tiny screws or set up the
jumpers.
Rubber gloves, can prevent yourself from being incised and
suffering the static charge.
Installation Screws
Two types of screws are used in assembling the barebone: Round-headed screw
and thumb screw.
Round-headed screw: This type of screw is used to attach
the HDD and Card Reader to the tray.
