Follow these steps to install a CPU:

Golden corner

1. Locate the CPU socket. Open

the socket by pulling the lever

gently sideways away from the

socket, then lift the lever

upwards to a 90 to

100-degree angle.

2. Insert the CPU with the correct

orientation. The notched or

golden corner of the CPU must

be oriented toward the inner

corner of the socket base

nearest to the lever hinge.

The CPU should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the

socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its

alignment and look for bent pins.

A7V400-MX SE

A7V400-MX SE DIP switches

The option to set the CPU core bus frequency multiple is available only

on unlocked CPUs. If you are using a locked CPU, setting the switches

does not produce any effect.

The DSW switch tells the clock generator what frequency to send the

CPU. This allows the selection of the CPU’s external frequency (or bus

clock). The bus clock multiplied by the frequency multiple equals the

CPU’s internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).

The default CPU external frequency is 100 MHz. If your CPU supports

200/166/133 MHz external frequency, adjust the DSW settings before

installing the motherboard to the chassis.

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system

setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard

button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include

system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (default) to pins 1-2. Keep the

cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to

pins 2-3.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS

setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC

jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

This connector is for an Ultra DMA 133 signal cable. The Ultra

DMA 133 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the

IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA

133/100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray

connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE master device (hard disk

drive). If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the

second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly.

Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole

on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion

when you connect the IDE cable.

• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE devices.

NOTE: Orient the red markings

(usually zigzag) on the IDE

ribbon cable to PIN 1.
