Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
This mainboard supports the latest AMD® Opteron processor in 1207-pin package.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler toprevent the CPU from overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, contact
your dealer to purchase and install it before turning on the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_qvl.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.

Hardware Setup
Memory Frequency vs. Core Multiplier
The DDRII DIMM operates different frequency when using different CPU. For example,
when using 2.4GHz CPU the DDRII 667MHz DIMM will operate at 600MHz.
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.
v NOTE: 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.

Power Supply
SSI 24-Pin System Power Connector: JPWR2
This connector allows you to connect to an SSI power supply. To connect to the SSI
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.
SSI 8-Pin CPU Power Connector: JPWR3
This connector provides 12V power output to the CPUs.
SSI 4-Pin Power Connector: JPWR1
Make sure that you connect this connector with a 5V/12V power supply to ensure
stable operation of the PCI Express/PCI-X/PCI adapters and front panel USB device.
