The mainboard supports AMD
®
processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called
Socket AM2/AM2+ for easy CPU installation. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult
your dealer before turning on the computer.

CPU Installation Procedures for Socket AM2/ AM2+
1.Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord be-
fore installing the CPU.
2.Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to
raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
3.Look for the gold arrow of the CPU. The gold arrow should
point as shown in the picture. The CPU can only fit in the
correct orientation.
4.If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be com-
pletely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any
violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to
your mainboard.
5.Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to
move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers press-
ing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely
embedded into the socket.

Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the
cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure
that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replaceing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the
power supplys power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of
CPU.
Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing
overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inad-
equate operation or beyond product specifications.
En-6
MS-7388 Mainboard
Installing 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 CPU cooler,
consult your dealer before turning on the computer.
1.Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to
hook first.
2.Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the
retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it .
3.Fasten down the lever.
4.Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the mainboard.

Important
- DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 stan
dard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory
modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.
- In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same
type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the
DIMM1 first.

Installing Memory Modules
You can find the notch on the memory modules and the volt on the DIMM slots. Follow
the procedures below to install the memory module properly.
1.The memory modules has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2.Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
3.The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in
the DIMM slot.

Fan Power Connectors
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. The CPU FAN supports
Smart FAN function. When connect the wire to the connectors, always take note that the
red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground
and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor
chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take
advantage of the fan control.

Important
1.Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processors official website or
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2.CPUFAN supports fan control. You can install Dual Core Center utility that
will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the actual CPU
temperature.
3. Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for CPUFAN.
Important
If you install two IDE devices on the same cable, you must configure the drives
separately to Master/ Slave mode by setting jumpers. Refer to IDE devices docu-
mentation supplied by the vendors for jumper setting instructions.
