You can install any one of these processors on the mainboard. The mainboard supports Socket-462 processor front-side bus speeds of 200MHz. This mainboard uses the SiS730S chipset which integrates a 128bit AGP Graphics Accelerator, and provides a optional 4X AGP slot for highly graphics display, CPU Plug & Play through firmware, Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function. The mainboard has a built-in AC97 Codec, provides an AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem application, and has a built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. In addition, the mainboard has an extended set of ATX I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, an RJ-45 LAN port, a parallel port, one serial port, and one VGA port. Two extra USB ports can be added using the Extended USB Module that connects to the mainboard, and an optional serial port. This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multimedia workstation that is network ready. The board is Micro ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX power supply. 1 Mainboard User's Manual Key Features The key features of this mainboard include: Socket-462 Processor Support Supports AMD Athlon/Duron processors Supports 200 MHz Front-Side Bus Processors are automatically configured using firmware and a synchronous Host/DRAM Clock Scheme.

Take the following precautions when unpacking the mainboard and installing it in a system. 1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them. 2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you don't have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis. 3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection packaging it came in with the component side facing up. Pre-Installation Inspection 1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and connectors on the board. 2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor and report the damage. 6 2: Mainboard Installation Chapter 2 Mainboard Installation To install this mainboard in a system, follow the procedures in this chapter: ! ! ! ! ! ! !
