While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components. TOPICS Central Processing Unit: CPU Memory Power Supply Back Panel Connectors Jumpers Slots 2-1 Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The MSI mainboard supports Single/Dual AMD ® Athlon TM MP processor(s). The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket A for easy CPU installation. You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s): 1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket. CPU1 CPU2 2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same types of CPUs running at the same FSB frequency. 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 find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. 2-2 Hardware Setup CPU Installation Procedures Open Lever 1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Then, raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Sliding Plate 2. Look for the cut edge. The cut edge should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU will only fit in the correct orientation. Cut edge 3. Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation. Close Lever WARNING! Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. 2-3 Chapter 2 Thermal Issue for CPU As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements. AMD recommends the use of high performance thermal interface material. WARNING! AMD AthlonTM processor with a speed of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. You can check AMD's web site for more information on proper cooling. 2-4 Hardware Setup CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure If CPU Clock Core/Bus ratio then CPU core speed = = = = = 100MHz 7 Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio 100MHz x 7 700MHz CPU Clock Frequency Selection: JFSB1 The default hardware configuration for CPU Clock Frequency is set at 100 MHz. To use a 133 MHz CPU, you need to adjust the CPU clock up to 133 MHz by setting the JFSB1 jumper. 1 1 3 100MHz 133 MHz 3 1 JFSB1 WARNING! While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power cable of the ATX power supply from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU. 2-5 Chapter 2 Recommended Computer Case and Axial Fans To accommodate the MS-6501 mainboard, Axial Fans and other required components, we recommend that you use the ATX computer case. To maintain a well-ventilated operating environment and prevent CPU overheating problems, we strongly suggest that you add two axial fans to the system. The specification of the Front/Rear Axial Fans are as follows: Axial Fan Front Rear Length x Width 80mm x 25mm 120mm x 25mm Running Speed 12V at 2500 rpm 12V at 2200 rpm ATX Power Supply Front Axial Fan (air flows in) Rear Axial Fan (heat flows out) MS-6501 ATX Computer Case 2-6 Hardware Setup Memory Installation The mainboard provides 4 sockets for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM with 8 memory banks. To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. DDR 3 DDR DIMM Slots (DDR 1~4) You can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~4). DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transfering data twice per cycle. It transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. Conventional SDRAM only uses the rising edge of the clock to transfer data. Therefore, conventional SDRAM is called SDR (Single Data Rate) SDRAM. DDR SDRAM uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM is also known as SDRAM-II, DDR DRAM and DSDRAM (Double-Speed DRAM). Two types of DDR are available at the time of writing: PC1600 & PC2100. PC1600 DDR SDRAM running at 100MHz will produce about 1.6GB/s memory bandwidth. PC2100 running at 133MHz will produce 2.1GB/s memory bandwidth. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers. Note: Registered DIMMs can be placed into DDR1~4 but unbuffered DIMMs can be placed into DDR1~2 only. 2-7 DDR 1 DDR 2 DDR 4 Chapter 2 DDR Module Combination To enable normal operation, at least one DIMM module must be installed on the mainboard. As the AMD-762TM chipset supports 4 DDR memory banks at its maximum, the system memory installed can be up to 4 GB. You can install memory modules in the following combination: Devices used on DIMM 1 DIMM (2 Rows) x64/x72 256 MB 128 MB 64 MB 512 MB 256 MB 128 MB 1 GB 512 MB 256 MB 2 GB 1 GB 512 MB 2 DIMMs (2 Rows each) x64/x72 512 MB 256 MB 128 MB 1 GB 512 MB 256 MB 2 GB 1 GB 512 MB 4 GB 2 GB 1 GB 3 DIMMs (2 Rows each) x64/x72 768 MB 384 MB 192 MB 1.5 GB 768 MB 384 MB 3 GB 1.5 GB 768 MB 4 GB 3 GB 1.5 GB 4 DIMMs (2 Rows each) x64/x72 1 GB 512 MB 256 MB 2 GB 1 GB 512 MB 4 GB 2 GB 1 GB 4 GB 4 GB 2 GB 64 MB (4Mx4x4 banks) 64 MB (2Mx8x4 banks) 64 MB (1Mx16x4 banks) 128 MB (8Mx4x4 banks) 128 MB (4Mx8x4 banks) 128 MB (2Mx16x4 banks) 256 MB (16Mx4x4 banks) 256 MB (8Mx8x4 banks) 256 MB (4Mx16x4 banks) 512 MB (32Mx4x4 banks) 512 MB (16Mx8x4 banks) 512 MB (8Mx16x4 banks) Note: The maximum address space supported by the AMD-762 system controller is four Gbytes. 2-8 Hardware Setup DDR Module Installation Procedures You can install either single-sided or double-sided 184-pin DDR DIMM modules into DDR DIMM slots to meet your needs. Different from the SDR DIMM, the DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The number of pins on either side of the breaks are different. The module will only fit in the right orientation. 1. Insert the DIMM module vertically into the DDR DIMM slot. Make sure the notch is on the right orientation. Volt 2. The plastic clips at sides of the DIMM slot will automatically close. 2-9 Chapter 2 Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system.
