Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php? func=cpuform
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. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replaceing the CPU
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.
Overclocking
This mainboard 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.

CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.
1.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin.
2.Remove the cap from lever hinge side (as the arrow shows).
3. The pins of socket reveal.
4. Open the load lever.
Important
1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
2.Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
3.The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.
2-4
5.Lift the load lever up and open the load plate.
Hardware Setup
6.After confirming the CPU direction for correct mating, put down the CPU in the socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the alignment keys are matched.
alignment key
7.Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with pure vertical motion and reinstall.
8.Cover the load plate onto the package.

MS-7512 Mainboard
9.Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook under retention tab.
11.Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. Then rotate the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it) to lock the hooks.
locking switch
10.Align the holes on the mainboard with the heatsink. Push down the cooler until its four c lips get wedged into the holes of the mainboard.
12.Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are correctly inserted.
Important
1.Read the CPU status in BIOS (Chapter 3).
2.Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.
3.Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/ cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.

Installing Memory 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. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot.
3.Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot clips at the sides.

Important
-DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.
-In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
-To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first.

Power Supply
ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX 24-pin 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.
You may use the 20-pin ATX power supply as you like. If you’d like to use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with pin 1 & pin 13 (refer to the image at the right hand).

Important
1.Make sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX power supplies to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.
2.Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for system stability.
3.ATX 12V power connection should be greater than 18A.
4.If the POWER1 connector too closes the heatpipe and plug inconveniently. You could use the bundled ATX Extender to increase connector height. It can prevent the power cable to touch the heatpipe as well.

Hardware Setup
Audio Ports
These audio connectors are used for audio devices. You can differentiate the color of the audio jacks for different audio sound effects.
Line-In (Blue) - Line In is used for external CD player, tapeplayer or other audio devices.
Line-Out (Green) - Line Out, is a connector for speakers or headphones.
Mic (Pink) - Mic, is a connector for microphones.
RS-Out (Black) - Rear-Surround Out in 4/ 5.1/ 7.1 channel mode.
CS-Out (Orange) - Center/ Subwoofer Out in 5.1/ 7.1 channel mode. SS-Out (Gray) - Side-Surround Out 7.1 channel mode.
Clear CMOS Button
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the button to clear data. Press the button to clear the data.
Important
Make sure that you power off the system before clearing CMOS data.

Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1~5
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Important
1.Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s official website or consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2.CPUFAN supports fan control. You can install Dual Core Center utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the actual CPU temperature.
3.Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for CPUFAN.
Chassis Intrusion Connector: JCI1
This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the chassis is opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.
