2-2 Installing a CPU Processor in Socket 462
The Socket 462, designed for AMD Athlon/Duron processors, has been incorporated
as a standard mainboard specification. To insert your CPU into Socket A please do
the following:
1. 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.
2. 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 CPU Jumper Configuration
Frequency
Configuration
If you install a CPU on this mainboard, you must set JP3 for CPU Bus Frequency.
You must also select the external clock frequency according to your processor SW1
(See Section 2-4).
* CPU Speed = Frequency ratio x System Frequency
You do not need to make voltage settings because this board will
automatically sets your CPU voltage.
