PC Alert™ III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM. The utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware status during real time operation: * monitor CPU & system temperature * monitor fan speed * monitor system voltage * monitor chassis intrusion If one of the above items is abnormal, the program main screen will be immedi­ately shown on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red. This will continue to be shown until user disables the warning.

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.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon™ and Duron™ processors. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. Make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached on top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
1 . Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
2. Look for the cut edge. The
cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to complete the installation.

Thermal Issue for CPU
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly cru­cial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper
thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements. AMD recommends the use of high performance thermal interface material.
AMD Athlon™/Duron™ processor with a speed of 600MHz and above re­quires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease be­tween the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation.
You can check AMD’s web site for more information on proper cooling: http:/

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
The mainboard can automatically set the CPU Host Bus Frequency Clock.
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 7
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 7 = 700MHz
Overclocking
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.
WARNING!
CPU Clock Frequency Selection: JFSB1
Use the jumper to select the appropriate Front Side Bus frequency for
your CPU.

Introduction to SDRAM
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is a type of dynamic RAM memory chip that has been widely used starting in the latter part of the 1990s. SDRAMs are based on standard dynamic RAM chips, but have sophisticated features that make them considerably faster. First, SDRAM chips are fast enough to be synchronized with the CPU's clock, which eliminates wait states. Second, the SDRAM chip is divided into two cell blocks, and data is interleaved between the two so that while a bit in one block is being accessed, the bit in the other is being prepared for access. This allows SDRAM to burst the second and subsequent, contiguous characters at a rate of 10ns, compared to 60ns for the first character.
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz.

You can install one or more DIMM modules in the following combination:
DIMM Modules Combination
DIMM Socket Memory Module Total Memory
Socket 1 (Bank 0 & Bank 1)
32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB
32MB ~ 512MB
Socket 2 (Bank 2 & Bank 3)
32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB
32MB ~ 512MB
Total System Memory 32MB ~ 1GB
1. The DIMM slot has 2 Notch Keys “VOLT and DRAM”, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close.
