Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. 1. 2. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection. 18 AK77-600N Online Manual A b o u t " Ma n u f a c t ur e r U p g ra d e O p ti o n a l" a n d " U s e r U p g ra d e Optional"... When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may find some of functions are called "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional", and some are called "User Upgrade Optional". Though all AOpen motherboards include many amazing and powerful features, in some situations, these powerful features are not used to every user. Hence, we changed some key features as "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional" for you to choose. Some optional functions that can be upgraded by users, we call them "User Upgrade Optional". As for those optional functions that can't be upgraded by ourselves, we call them "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional". If needed, you can contact our local distributors or resellers for purchasing "User Upgrade Optional" components, and again you can visit AOpen official web site: http://english.aopen.com.tw/ for more detail information. 19 AK77-600N CPU I nst al la ti on This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon XP, Athlon and Duron Online Manual Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection function implemented, the system will be automatically power off when the temperature of CPU reached 97 degree, but works on AthlonXP CPU only). 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket.
