2-2 Installing an AMD Athlon Processor in Socket A

1. The Socket 462, designed for AMD Athlon processors, has been incorporated as a
standard mainboard specification.To insert your CPU into Socket A please do the
following:
2. Locate a small dot marked 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. These markings indicate Pin 1 of the CPU.
3. Pull up the lever of Socket 462 so that it is perpendicular with the surface of
the mainboard. 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.
Installing a 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.

2-3 Plug and Play CPU Configuration

This board support plug and play CPU configuration, if you install a CPU on
this mainboard, the board will automatically detect and set the CPU system bus
frequency speed. It is no longer necessary to make many jumper settings as on
conventional mainboards.
CPU Host/PCI Clock Timing
1. After installing all your hardware into your PC system, turn on your system's
power. Enter the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the Delete key when your
BIOS identification screen appears.
2. Move the cursor to Frequency/Voltage Control Setup menu and press Enter.
Select the CPU Host/PCI Clock Setup commands at the left hand side of the
BIOS screen.
3. Select the CPU Host/PCI Clock value according to the speed of your CPU
processor and PCI bus. (See section 3-8)
4. Press Esc to return to the CMOS Setup Utility, press F10 to Save and Exit
Setup and choose to confirm. The system will automatically reboot and during
start-up you will see the correct CPU type shown on the screen.
You do not need to make frequency ratio and voltage settings
