Installing A CPU
To install a CPU on the motherboard it is important to
follow the entire procedure for installing both the CPU
and its cooling assembly. Failure to do so can result in
either improper operation or damage to the CPU and
possibly the motherboard.
To install an AMD CPU on this motherboard you will
need to do the following:
• Install an AMD processor in the Socket 462 socket
• Install a Cooling Fan/Heatsink assembly
Please follow the procedure detailed below to install the
processor on the board. AMD boxed Athlon and Duron
processors come with full installation instructions. If you
have them, please also read and follow those instruc-
tions carefully.
Processor Selection
This motherboard uses any 462-pin “Socket A” AMD
Athlon or Duron processor in a single CPU configuration
and Athlon MP processors only in the dual configura-
tion. All current processor speeds are supported. If you
will install a dual processor configuration, the two pro-
cessors should be identical. The BIOS automatically de-
tects the required CPU settings and configures the CMOS
Setup Utility accordingly. The settings in the IWILL Smart
Setting section control processor configuration settings.
For Athloon MP CPUs, you must configure the CPU Clock
Ratio setting manually.
Clock Ratio Setting:
You must set the CPU Clock
Ratio setting manually for

tio settings are as follows:
