Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports AMD® 940AM2/ Athlon64 & Sempron processors. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket AM2(940-pin) 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 have 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/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support.php)
Important
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
3. 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
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 90degree 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.
Sliding
Plate
90 degree
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.

Hardware Setup
Installing AMD Socket AM2 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.
3.Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU
fan connector on the mainboard.
2. Use the screw driver to secure four
built-in screws following the
indicated order (1--> 2--> 3 --> 4).

Hardware Setup
Installing DDRII 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.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in
the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Important
-DDRII modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDRII standard is
not backwards compatible. You should always install DDRII memory
modules in the DDRII DIMMs and DDR memory modules in the DDR DIMMs.
-In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the
same type and density in differentchannel DDR DIMMs.
-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 2GB (not full 2GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB
memory module.

Power Supply
The mainboard supports SSI 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.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
This connector allows you to connect to an power supply. To connect to the 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.

The mainboard provides two IEEE 1394 ports. This smaller one is designed for
you to connect the IEEE 1394 device with external power. The IEEE 1394 high-speed
serial bus complements USB by providing enhanced PC connectivity for a wide range
of devices, including consumer electronics audio/video (A/V) appliances, storage
peripherals, other PCs, and portable devices.
Important
IEEE 1394 Driver is provided by Windows® 98 SE, Windows® XP, Windows
ME and Windows® 2000. Just plug in the IEEE 1394 connector into the port.
These Operating Systems will install the driver for IEEE 1394.
®

RCA Connector
The RCA connector allows users to connect display devices for composite video
output. Composite video, also called baseband video or RCA video, is the analog
waveform that conveys the image data in a conventional National Television Standards
Committee (NTSC) television signal. Composite video contains chrominance (hue and
saturation) and luminance (brightness) information, along with synchronization and
blanking pulses, all together in a single signal.
S-Video Connector
The S-Video connector allows users to connect display devices for component
video output.
S-Video (Super-Video, sometimes referred to as Y/C Video, or component video) is a
video signal transmission in which the luminance signal and the chrominance signal are
transmitted separately to achieve superior picture clarity. The luminance signal (Y)

transmitted separately to achieve superior picture clarity. The luminance signal (Y)
carries brightness information, which defines the black and white portion, and the
chrominance signal (C) carries color information, which defines hue and saturation. An
S-Video connection brings better video quality than a composite/RCA connection.
