Hardware Setup

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™ processors in the

462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A 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

find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them

before turning on the computer.

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal

management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Main-

taining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the

processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements.

AMD Athlon™/Duron™/Athlon™ XP processor with a speed of 600MHz and above

requires a LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal grease between

the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and

heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are

needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you

want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMD’s website for

reference.

WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 14

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 100MHz x 14

= 1.4 GHz

MS-6734 M-ATX Mainboard

1. Please turn off the power and

unplug the power cord before

installing the CPU.

2. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket. Make sure to

raise the lever up to a 90-de-

gree angle.

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. If the CPU is correctly installed,

the pins should be completely

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, al-

ways close the lever with your

fingers pressing tightly on top of

the CPU to make sure the CPU is

properly and completely embed-

ded into the socket.

Apply some heat

sink paste

MSI Reminds You...

Please apply some heat sink paste on top of your CPU to dissipate

the heat more effectively.

The following instructions will guide you

through the heat sink installation

procedures. Please consult your agent for

the proper CPU cooler set.

1. Position your CPU cooler set onto the

CPU.

2. Use one end of the clip to hook the

latch of the CPU sliding plate.

3. Hook the other latch to fix the cooling

fan set. You may need a screw

drive to press down the other side

of the clip.

4. Connect the fan to the power supply

connector provided on your

mainboard.

MS-6734 M-ATX Mainboard

CPU Clock Frequency Selection through BIOS

The hardware configuration for CPU clock frequency of the motherboard is set to

100MHz by default. Therefore, to make a 133MHz CPU run at 133MHz when it is

installed on the board, you have to adjust the CPU clock frequency in the BIOS setup

utility.

To set the clock frequency for the installed CPU, refer to Frequency/Voltage Control

in Chapter 3. BIOS Setup.

MSI Reminds You...

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make

sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from

overheating.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or

unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to

ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclocking

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However,

please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnor-

mal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate be-

yond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guar-

antee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation

or beyond product specifications.

Memory

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line Memory

Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You can install PC2700/

DDR333, PC2100/DDR266 or PC1600/DDR200 modules on the DDR DIMM slots.

DIMM Module Combination

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. You can install either single- or double-

sided modules in any order to meet your own needs.

Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

Installing DDR Modules

1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will only

fit in the right orientation.

2. 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.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

MSI Reminds You...

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly

inserted in the socket.

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 20-Pin Power Connector: CONN1

This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX

power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper

orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the

connector.
