Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD® processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket AM2/AM2+ for easy CPU installation. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer 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 ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
CPU Installation Procedures for Socket AM2/ AM2+
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 90-degree angle.
3. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU. The gold arrow should
point as shown in the picture. The CPU can only fit in the 
correct orientation. 
4. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be com-
pletely 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.
English
En-5
MS-7501 Mainboard
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 CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.
Important
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.
1.Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook first.
2.Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it .
3.Fasten down the lever.
4.Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the mainboard.

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.

Important
-In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
-To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first.
-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 Attachment
Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused. All power connectors on the mainbnoard have to connect to the ATX power supply and have to work together to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.
ATX 24-Pin Power Connector
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.

BIOS Setup
This chapter provides basic information on the BIOS Setup program and allows you to configure the system for optimum use. You may need to run the Setup program when:
*An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run BIOS SETUP.
*You want to change the default settings for customized features.
Important
1.The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held for reference only.
2.Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS version. It is usually in the format:
A7501AMS V1.0 062508 where:
1st digit refers to BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and P = PHOENIX. 2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number.
6th refers to the Chipset vender as A = ATi, I = Intel, V = VIA, N = Nvidia, U = ULi. 7th - 8th digit refers to the customer as MS = all standard customers.
V1.0 refers to the BIOS version.
062508 refers to the date this BIOS was released.
