2. Setting up the mainbaord
Before assembling the mainboard into the PC case we recommend you to do the following:
1. CPU Installation
English
2. DDR Memory Insertion
After the mainboard is fitted into the case, you may
3. Install Add-on VGA or PCI cards
4. Connect the internal cables and wires
5. Connect your external peripherals to the rear I/O port
3. Installation
3.1 CPU Installation
Step 1
Open the socket by raising the actuation
lever.
The CPU is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion, do not
force the CPU into the socket. If it does not go in easily,
check for mis-orientation.
6
Step 2
1) Align pin 1 on the CPU with pin 1 on the
CPU socket as shown above. Insert the
CPU and make sure it is fully inserted into
the socket.
2) Close the socket by lowering and locking
the actuation lever.
English
Step 3
Insert the heatsink as shown above.
Press the clips in the direction of the
arrows shown above to secure the
assembly to the CPU socket.
• Thermal compound and qualified heatsink recommended by AMD are a must to
avoid CPU overheat damage.
• Apply heatsink thermal compound/paste to the CPU.
Step 4
Plug the CPU fan power into the
mainboard’s CPU fan connector.
The installation is complete.

3.2 DDR Memory Inser tion
The mainboard accommodates two 184-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules):
• Supports up to 2.0GB of 266/333/400MHz DDR SDRAM.
English
• Supports DRAM configurations defined in the JEDEC DDR DIMM specification.
Memory configurations supported:
oNtolSMMID1sMMID2
1#MMIDSS/SDSS/SD
2#MMIDSS/SDSS/SD
* SS: Single-Sided DIMM, DS: Double-Sided DIMM
Memory Installation :
To install, align the notch on the DIMM module with the connector.
Press straight down as shown in the figure until the white clips close and the
module fits tightly into the DIMM socket.

3.3 VGA and PCI card installation
This mainboard is equipped with on-chip graphics engine, you may connect a VGA monitor
directly to its rear port. However, if you need to install VGA card follow the steps below.
To install a VGA card into the VGA slot or a PCI expansion card:
1. Remove the bracket (on the PC case) for the slot you intend to use.
2. Firmly press down the card into the slot until it is completely seated. For an VGA card
ensure the VGA slot clicker is locked as shown in the picture below.
3. Secure the card's bracket to the PC case with a screw.
