English Read Me First! When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X (1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X/8X. AGP 4X/8X notch Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by VIA K8VT800M. You might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP Pro 4X/8X card.
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. 2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. 3.

English Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1 - Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2 - Install memory modules Step 3 - Install expansion cards Step 4 - Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 4 Step 1 Step 2 Step 4 Step 4 Step 3 Congratulations! You have accomplished the hardware installation! Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet.
English Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following warning: 1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage. 2. Never force the processor into the socket. 3. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan. 4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 5.
shown in Figure 4) prior to installing the heatsink. AMD recommends using a high thermal conductivity grease (such as Shin-Etsu types G751 or G749, or an equivalent product) for the thermal interface material rather than a phase change material. Phase change materials develop strong adhesive forces between the heatsink and processor.
English Step 2: Install Memory Modules Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. When DIMM LED is ON, do not install / remove DIMM from socket. 2. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. DDR Introduction Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs, and system integrators.
English Step 3: Install expansion cards Step 3-1: AGP Card Installation 1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer. 2.
