Correct CPU

Central Processing Unit: CPU

1

The mainboard supports AMD® processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket AM2 for easy CPU

installation.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/

pro_mbd_cpu_support.php

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 ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded
outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

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 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 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 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 heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them

before turning on the computer.

Important

Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the cooler installation for Socket AM2 CPUs 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.

channel DDR DIMM slots.

- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first.

Installing DDR/ DDRII Modules

You can find the notch on the memory modules and the volt on the DIMM slots whether DDR or DDRII. Follow the procedures
below to install the DDR/ DDRII module properly.

1. The DDR/DDRII modules has only one notch on the center of module. The module 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 socket.

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

Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. The CPU FAN supports Smart FAN function. When
connect the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V,
the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on­board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the fan control.

ATA133 Hard Disk Connector (IDE connector)

A IDE connector can connect a Master and a Slave drive. You can connect CD-ROM/ Hard Driver and other IDE devices.
The Ultra ATA133 interface boosts data transfer rates between the computer and the hard drive up to 133 megabytes (MB)
per second. The new interface is one-third faster than earlier record-breaking Ultra ATA/100 technology and is backwards
compatible with the existing Ultra ATA interface.
