Screw HolesWhen you nstall the manboard, you have to place the manboard nto the chasss n the

correct drecton. The locatons of screws holes on the manboard are shown as below.

Refer above pcture to nstall standos n the approprate locatons on chasss and thenscrew through the manboard screw holes nto the standos.

Important

To prevent damage to the manboard, any contact between the manboard crcut and

chasss or unnecessary standos mounted on the chasss s prohbted.

Please make sure there s no metal components placed on the manboard or wthn

CPU (Central Processng Unt)When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.

If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vst http://www.ms.com/servce/cpu-sup-port/

Important

Overheatng

Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply

an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to

enhance heat dsspaton.

Replacng the CPU

Whle replacng the CPU, always turn o the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclockng

Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speccatons s not recommended. We do not guar -

antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-

catons.

CPU & Cooler InstallatonWhen you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the topto prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU

before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wllcause the damage of your CPU & manboard

If the CPU s correctly nstalled, thepns should be completely embeddednto the socket and can not be seen.Please note that any volaton of thecorrect nstallaton procedures maycause permanent damages to yourmanboard.

3. Press the CPU down rmly nto thesocket and close the lever. As theCPU s lkely to move whle the levers beng closed, always close thelever wth your ngers pressng tghtlyon top of the CPU to make sure theCPU s properly and completely

embedded nto the socket.

4.

Pull the lever sdeways away fromthe socket. Make sure to rase thelever up to a 90-degree angle.

AMD Sempron(tm) II X2 Processor

Important

Ths CPU core unlocked behavor depends on the CPU ablty/ characterstc, and t

s not guaranteed.

Depend on CPU’s characterstc, once you get nstable scenaro, please restore the

default settngs for system.

You can also check the core numbers n performance tab of Wndows taskmanager.

OC Gene LteSettng ths tem to [Enabled] allows the system to detect the maxmum FSB clock andto overclock automatcally. If overclockng fals to run, you can try the lower FSB clockfor overclockng successfully.

Spread SpectrumWhen the manboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spkes) of the pulses

create EMI (Electromagnetc Interference). The Spread Spectrum functon reduces theEMI generated by modulatng the pulses so that the spkes of the pulses are reducedto atter curves.

Important

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system

stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread

Spectrum for EMI reducton.

The greater the Spread Spectrum value s, the greater the EMI s reduced, and the

system wll become less stable. For the most sutable Spread Spectrum value, pleaseconsult your local EMI regulaton.

Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum f you are overclockng because even a slght

jtter can ntroduce a temporary boost n clock speed whch may just cause your

overclocked processor to lock up.
