Hardware Setup

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™ processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for 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 find 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://www.msi.com.tw/

program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php.

MSI Reminds You...

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.

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.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

CPU Clock multiplied by Core/Bus ratio equals the CPU core speed.

For example: If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 14

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 100MHz x 14 = 1.4 GHz

MS-6570E ATX Mainboard

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 462

1. Please turn off the power and

unplug the power cord before installing the CPU.

Open Lever

2. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-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.

Installing AMD Athlon CPU (Socket 462) Cooler Set

The following instructions will guide you through the heat sink installation procedures. Please consult your agent for the proper CPU cooler set.

1. Position your CPU cooler set onto the CPU.

2. Use one end of the clip to hook the latch of the CPU sliding plate.

3. Hook the other latch to fix the cooling fan set. You may need a screw drive to press down the other side of the clip.

4. Connect the fan to the power supply connector provided on your mainboard.

Hardware Setup

Apply some heat

MSI Reminds Y ou...

Please apply some heat sink paste on top of CPU to dissipate the heat more effectively.

MS-6570E ATX Mainboard

Memory

The mainboard provides 3 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double InLine Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 3GB. You can install DDR266 / 333/400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~3).

Please note that the system will support dual channel DDR when you install DDR modules on DIMM1(purple slot) and DIMM3(green slot), or DIMM2(purple slot) and DIMM3(green slot).

Installing DDR Modules

1. The DDR 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.

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

Power Supply

The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.

A TX 20-Pin Power Connector: JWR1

This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX 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.
