Hardware Setup 
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to 
setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral 
devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the 
components and follow the installation procedures. 
 
Central Processing Unit: CPU 
The mainboard supports AMD ® Athlon64 processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called 
Socket-754 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat 
sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and 
cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

Example of CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure 
  If     CPU Clock    =  200MHz 
  Core/Bus ratio = 12 
    then   CPU core speed  =  Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio 
     = 200MHz  x  12 
     = 2.4  GHz

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 754 
1.  Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the CPU. 
2.  Pull the lever sideways away from the socket.    Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree 
angle. 
3.  Look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. Lower the 
CPU down onto the socket. 
4.  If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and 
can not be seen.    Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may 
cause permanent damages to your mainboard.       
5.  Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever.    As the CPU is likely to move 
while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of 
the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket. 
 
Installing AMD Athlon64 CPU Cooler Set 
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the 
top to prevent overheating.    If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to 
purchase and install them before turning on the computer.   
1.  Detach the shield of the backplate’s paster. 
2.  Turn over the mainboard,    and install the backplate to the proper position. 
3.  Turn over the mainboard again and place the mainboard on the flat surface. Locate the two 
screw holes of the mainboard. 
4.  Align the retention mechanism and the backplate. Fix the retention mechanism and the 
backplate with two screws.
