1.3 Thermal Solution
To prevent the system from overheating, we have adopted a specially designed CPU cooler and multiple ventilation holes for better cooling effects.
The specially designed CPU cooler supports AMD Athlon/Athlon
XP/Sempron/Duron FSB 266/333 CPU up to 3000+. We recommened
using the right cooler for the CPU.

Introducing Mainboard
This chapter tells you basics of the CPU, memory modules,
and expansion cards, as well as how to setup the jumpers on the
mainboard. Also, it provides the instructions on connecting the
peripheal devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc.
While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures.

2.2 CPU
Introducing Mainboard
The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon
2800+ processors. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket 462
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.
(For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.
tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php)
Note:
1. Read the instructions on the cooler before you start the
installation.
2. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to
protect the CPU from overheating.
3. 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.

2.3 Memory
The mainboard provides two sockets for 184-pin DDR SDRAM
DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) and supports the memory size
up to 2 GB.
You can install PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules into
the DDR DIMM slots. (For the updated supporting memory modules,
please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/

DDR Population Rules
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot
supports up to a maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or
double-sided modules to meet their own needs.
DDR Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module into the slots. Memory modules can be installed into the slots in any order. You can install either
single or double-sided modules to meet your need.

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.

2.4 Power Supply
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
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. The power
connector supports instant power on function which means that system
will boot up immediately when the power supply connector is inserted
on the board.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
