CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal
paste 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 damage to your CPU & mainboard.
1.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on
it to protect the contact from damage. Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin.
2.Remove the cap from lever hinge side (as the arrow shows).
4.Open the load lever.3.The pins of socket reveal.
2-3
MS-9828 Mainboard
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 pure vertical motion and reinstall.
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.

Flash Write Protection
This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or computer viruses.
CPU Feature
Execute Bit Support
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
TM2
Thermal Management throttles the processor back as it reaches its maximum operating temperature. Throttling reduces the number of processing cycles, thereby diminishing the heat dissipation of the CPU. This cools the unit. Once the CPU has reached a safe operating temperature, thermal throttling is automati­cally disabled, and normal full speed processing begins again.
Set Limit CPUID MaxVal to 3
This setting sets Max CPUID extended function value to 3.

IRQ Resource Setup
BIOS Setup
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices.
