Installing the heatsink and fan
The AMD Athlon™ 64FX or AMD Athlon 64™ processor require a specially
designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition
and performance.
Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan.
1.
Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the
heatsink fits properly on the retention module base.
•
The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard
upon purchase.
•
You do not have to remove the retention module base when
installing the CPU or installing other motherboard components.
•
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make
sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU
heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

Memory Configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this
section.
•
For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s)
installed per channel must be the same for better performance
(DIMM_A1+DIMM_A2=DIMM_B1+DIMM_B2).
•
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR400 Qualified Vendors List
on the next page for details.
•
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB of system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR memory
modules.
•
Due to chipset limitation, DIMM modules with 128 Mb memory chips
or double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this
motherboard.
•
Due to CPU limitation, install on Channel B slots for a single-channel
memory configuration.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise,
conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system
unstable and the card inoperable.

Jumpers
Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in
CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system
setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard
button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include
system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1.
Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2.
Remove the onboard battery.
3.
Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the
cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to
pins 1-2.
4.
Re-install the battery.
5.
Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6.
Hold down the  key during the boot process and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC
jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

Customizing your POST messages
The Voice Editor application allows you to record your own POST messages
if your language is not supported or if you wish to to replace the
pre-installed wave files.
To customize your POST messages.
1.
Launch the Voice Editor application and note the list of POST events
on the leftmost column of the screen.
2.
Prepare your message for each event.

Use a recording software (e.g. Windows® Recorder) to record your
messages, then save the messages as wave files (.WAV).

•
The total compressed size for all the wave files must not exceed
1Mbit, so keep your messages as short as possible.
•
To keep file sizes small, save your files at a low quality. For example,
use 8-bit, mono quality at 22Khz sampling rate.
•
Create a separate folder for your wave files so you can locate them
easily.
From the Voice Editor screen,
click the A d d button to display
the A d d W a v e F i l e window.
Copy the wave files that you
recorded to the database, then
close the window when done.
