Getting Started

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 Intel® LGA775 - Prescott Pentium® D and Conroe CoreTM E6000
Sequence. The following figures illustrate how the system fan effectively exhausts
hot air through multiple ventilation holes.

Chapter 2

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.

ONLY FOR SERVICE PERSONEL

Always unplug the power cord before
inserting any add-on card or module.

MS-7334 (V1.X) Mainboard

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The mainboard supports Intel® Prescott Pentium® D and Intel® Conroe CoreTM E6000
Sequence. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. When you are install­ing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have
the CPU cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the
computer.

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

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.
