Hardware Setup Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium 4 Prescott processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/ program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php. MSI Reminds You...
M S-7204 mBTX M ainboard CPU & Cooler Installation W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion. Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly.
Hardware Setup 5. The CPU has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before you have installed the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin. 6. Remove the cap from lever hinge side (as the arrow shows). The pins of socket reveal. 7. Lift the load lever up and open the load plate. 8. Correctly align the triangle of CPU Clip with the CPU chamfer, and the square on the CPU Clip to the hook of the socket. 9.
M S-7204 mBTX M ainboard 11. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket, then remove the CPU Clip with 2 fingers. Then cover the load plate onto the package. 12. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook under retention tab. 13.Position the mainboard into the chassis and use the retaining screws to secure it into the place. Then align the holes on the mainboard and chassis with the cooler. 14.
Hardware Setup Memory The mainboard provides 4 slots for 240-pin DDR2 DIMM, which supports the memory size up to 4GB. Since DDR2 modules are not interchangeable with DDR1 and the DDR2 standard is not backward compatible, you should always install DDR2 memory module in the DDR2 slot (DIMM1~DIMM4). Otherwise, you are not able to boot up your system and your mainboard might be damaged. For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi. com.
