with the heatsink. Push down the
cooler until its four clips get
wedged into the holes of the
mainboard.
12.Turn over the mainboard to con-
firm that the clip-ends are cor-
rectly inserted. 11.Press the four hooks down to fas-
ten the cooler. Then rotate the lock-
ing switch (refer to the correct di-
rection marked on it) to lock the
hooks.9.Press down the load lever lightly
onto the load plate, and then se-
cure the lever with the hook under
retention tab.locking

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 depend-
ing on the model you purchase.7366v1.0-2-Hardware.p65  2007/10/1, 下午 03:436

240-pin, 1.8V These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.
For more information on compatible components, please visit http://global.msi.com.
tw/index.php?func=testreport
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.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.VoltNotchImportant
-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.
-To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules
into the DIMM1 first.7366v1.0-2-Hardware.p65  2007/10/1, 下午 03:437

2-8 ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: PWR2
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 sup-
ply along with pin 1 & pin 13 (refer to the image at the right hand).

1. Make sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX power sup-
plies 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. ATX 12V Power Connector: PWR1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
