This motherboard is electrostatic sensitive. Do not touch without wearing proper safety gadget and make sure to disconnect the power cable from the power source before performing any work on your motherboard. Not doing so may result in electrical shock! 2-1 Installing a CPU Processor for Socket A The Socket A, designed for AMD® Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron processors, has been incorporated as a standard motherboard specification. To insert your CPU into Socket A please do the following: 1. Locate a cut edge on the top surface of the CPU close to one if it's corners. The same corner will also be cut off, leaving a noticeable notch in the CPU's corner. markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU. 2. Pull up the lever of Socket 462 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of the motherboard. Gently insert the CPU with Pin 1 at the same corner of Socket 462 that contains the end of the lever. Allow the weight of the CPU to push itself into place. Do not apply extra pressure as doing so may result in damaging your CPU. Snap the lever back into place. 3. Installing an AMD® approved heat sink with cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and possible burnout of your CPU. These Notes: In order to boot up with a newly installed CPU, AC Power must be switched off before installation. 4 Chapter 2 2-2 Setting Your CPU's Performance Frequency Configuration: If you install a CPU on this motherboard, you must set the [CPU External Clock] JP3 according to your processor. * CPU Speed = Multiplier x FSB Frequency You do not need to change voltage settings because this board will automatically set your CPU voltage.
