Getting Started MSI Reminds You... 1. Please note that users cannot install OS, either WinME or Win98, in their SATA hard drives. Under these two OSs, SATA can only be used as an ordinary storage device. 2. To create a bootable RAID volume for a Windows 2000 environment, Microsoft’s Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is required. As the end user cannot boot without SP4, a combination installation CD must be created before attempting to install the operating system onto the bootable RAID volume.

Hardware Setup Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Hardware Setup This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. Also, it provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures.
MS-7093 M-ATX Mainboard Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports AMD ® Athlon64 processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket-939 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, 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.
Hardware Setup CPU Installation Procedures for Socket 939 1. Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the CPU. Open Lever Sliding Plate 90 degree 2. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Gold arrow 3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. 4.
MS-7093 M-ATX Mainboard Installing AMD Athlon64 CPU Cooler Set When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. MSI Reminds You... Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the cooler installation for Socket 939 CPUs only.
Hardware Setup 5. Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. 7. Fasten down the lever. Hook one end of the clip to hook first, and then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. 8. Make sure the safety hook completely clasps the fixed bolt of the retention mechanism. 6. Locate the Fix Lever, Safety Hook and the Fixed Bolt. Lift up the intensive fixed lever. 9. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the mainboard.
MS-7093 M-ATX Mainboard Memory The mainboard provides 4 slots for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 4GB. You can install DDR 333/ 400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4). DIMM1~DIMM4 (from left to right) Memory Population Rules Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet their own needs.
Hardware Setup Installing DDR Modules 1. 2. 3. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will only fit in the right orientation. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
MS-7093 M-ATX Mainboard Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused. ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: ATX1 This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, make sure the plug of the power pin 13 supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned.
