Introduction to AM3/ AM3+ CPU
The surface of the CPU has a golden
triangle to assist in correctly lining up
the CPU for motherboard placement.
The golden triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.
Important
y
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing
the CPU.
y
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink
is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
y
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting
your system.
y
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure
the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to
apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the
heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
y
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the
documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
y
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to
overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate
overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. MSI
®
does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by
inadequate operation beyond product specifications.
y
While disconnecting the safety hook from the fixed bolt. It is necessary to keep an
eye on your fingers, because once the safely hook is disconnected from the fixed
bolt, the fixed lever will spring back instantly.

Important
y
Always insert memory modules in the DIMM1 slot first.
y
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.
y
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
y
Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when
overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD).
y
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
y
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
and devices when overclocking.

Important
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using
the PCI_E2 slot is recommended.
y
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.

y
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during
transmission otherwise.

SATA cable has identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.

CPUFAN, SYSFAN1~3: Fan Connectors
Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode and Voltage
Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed
with speed control signal. Voltage Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing
voltage. Therefore, when you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a PWM Mode fan
connector, the fan speed will be always maintained at 100%, and that could be noisy.

please consult your local EMI regulation.
y
Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a
slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause
your overclocked processor to lock up.

58 RAID Configuration
RAID Configuration
Below are the different types of a RAID.
RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.
Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly
improves I/O performance.
RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and
provides enhanced read performance.
RAID 5 provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction
information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.
RAID 10 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a
RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.
RAID level comparison
RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 10
Minimum # drives 2 2 3 4
Data protection None Excellent Excellent Excellent
Read performance Excellent OK Good OK
Write performance Excellent Good OK Good
Capacity utilization 100% 50% 67%~(1-1/n) 50%
Using AMD® RAID Option ROM utility
First, you need to set the SATA mode to RAID in BIOS to create, delete and reset RAID
volumes. To enter the RAID Option ROM, reboot and press Ctrl + F keys to enter the
RAID Option ROM utility during the POST, the following window will appear.
Important
The following procedure is only available with a newly-built system or if you are
reinstalling your OS. It should not be used to migrate an existing system to RAID.
59
RAID Configuration
Creating RAID Volume
1. Press 2 on the main menu and then press Ctrl + C keys. Then following screen
appears.
2. Use the space key to choose a RAID mode (RAID 0/ 1/ 10/ 5) and use the arrow key
to move to the Drives Assignments window.
Stripe Block Size, the default 64KB is best for RAID 0 or 10.
Gigabyte Boundary, allows use of slightly smaller replacement drives.
3. On the Drives Assignments window, use the arrow keys to choose the hard drives
which you want to make part of RAID volume, and use the space key to change the
Assignment to Y. Then press Ctrl + Y keys to save the configuration.
4. A message will show, press Ctrl + Y to manually input a name as a RAID volume
name or press any key to save default name.
5. Another message will show, press Ctrl + Y keys if you are sure to erase the MBR
data of the disk. Or press any key to ignore this option.
6. The message will show up on the bottom, press any key to use maximum capacity
or press Ctrl + Y keys to modify array capacity manually.
60 RAID Configuration
Important
Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) needs to be
reduced. Type in a new size for the first volume. As an example: if you want the first
volume to span the first half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what is
shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the
remainder of two hard drives.
7. The RAID creation is done, the screen shows the information as below. Press ESC
key to return to the main screen.
8. Finally, press ESC key to exit the utility, a message System is going to REBOOT!
Are You Sure? will display, press Y to exit it and the system will reboot.
61
RAID Configuration
Delete RAID Volume
Here you can delete the RAID volume, but please be noted that all data on RAID drives
will be lost.
Important
If your system currently boots to RAID and you delete the RAID volume in the RAID
Option ROM, your system will become unbootable.
1. Press 3 on the main menu to enter the Delete LD Menu.
2. Choose a LD No you want to delete and press Del key or Alt + D keys to delete the
RAID volume.
3. A message will display, press Ctrl + Y to delete the RAID volume.
62 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Before sending the motherboard for RMA
repair, try to go over troubleshooting
guide first to see if your got similar
symptoms as mentioned below.
The power is not on.
yConnect the AC power cord to an
electrical outlet securely.
yCheck if all ATX power connectors like
JPWR1~2 is connected from the power
supply to the motherboard?
ySome power supply units have a power
button on the rear side, make sure the
button is turned on.
yCheck if the power switch cable is
connected to JFP1 pin header properly.
yVerify the Clear CMOS jumper JBAT1 is
set to Keep DATA.
yTest with another known working
power supply of equal or greater
wattage.
The power is on, but no signal to
monitor
yConnect the monitor power cord to a
electrical outlet securely.
yMake sure the monitor is turned on.
ySelect different inputs on the monitor.
yIf 3 long beeps are heard, remove all
memory modules and try to install only
one memory module into the DIMM1
slot first and then restart the computer.
yIf 1 long 2 short beeps are heard,
remove and reinstall the graphics card
and then restart the computer.
yTest with another known working
graphics card.
The computer does not boot after
updating the BIOS
yClear the CMOS.
yUse the secondary BIOS to bootup the
system (Only for motherboard with
Dual BIOS)
Lost BIOS password
yClear the CMOS, but that will cause
you to lose all customized settings in
