Hardware Setup

This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as
how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the
peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in
holding the components and follow the installation procedures.
(For the latest information about CPU, please visit:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=cpuform)

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon64 X2 / Athlon64 / Sempron processors. The mainboard
uses a CPU socket called Socket AM2(940-pin) for easy CPU installation.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 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 on the CPU. The CPU can only fit in the

correct orientation. Lower the CPU down onto the socket.

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.

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.

Overclocking

5

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 and Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent
overheating. If you do not have the cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them
before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some silicon heat transfer
compound on CPU before installing the cooler for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the
damage of your CPU & mainboard.

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.

MSI Reminds You...

1. Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.

2. Check the information in PC Health Status of H/W Monitor in BIOS for the CPU temperature.

3. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20 cycles. Therefore we suggest

you do not plug/unplug the CPU too often.
