Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static elec tric ity may damage the components.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

This mainboard supports Intel® Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Pentium and Celeron processor in LGA 775 package. When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer. For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/testreport.htm

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replaceing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclocking

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

Introduction to LGA 775 CPU

The pin-pad side of LGA 775 CPU.

The surface of LGA 775 CPU. Remember to apply some thermal paste on it for better heat dispersion.

MS-7365 Mainboard

CPU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

1.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin.

2.Remove the cap from lever hinge side (as the arrow shows).

3. The pins of socket reveal.

4. Open the load lever.

Important

1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.

2.Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.

3.The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.

2-4

5.Lift the load lever up and open the load plate.

7.Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU with pure vertical motion and reinstall.

8.Cover the load plate onto the package.

Important

1.Read the CPU status in BIOS (Chapter 3).

2.Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.

3.Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/ cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.

Hardware Setup

Memory

These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.

Since DDR3 modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard is not backward compatible, you should always install DDR3 memory module in DDR3 slot (DIMM_A1 & DIMM_B1), and DDR2 memory module in DDR2 slot (DIMM_A2 & DIMM_B2). Wrong installation may cause damage of mainboard. Meanwhile, you are not able to boot up your system if you install DDR2 & DDR3 memory modules simultaneously.

For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com. tw/testreport.htm

DDR2

240-pin, 1.8V 56×2=112 pin 64×2=128 pin

DIMM_A2 & DIMM_B2 are for DDR2 memory module

Dual-Channel: Channel A in GREEN; Channel B in ORANGE

DDR3

240-pin, 1.5V

DIMM_A1 & DIMM_B1 are for DDR3 memory module

Dual-Channel: Channel A in SKYBLUE; Channel B in PINK

Dual-Channel mode Population Rule

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system performance. Please refer to the following illustrations for population rules under Dual-Channel mode.

ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1

This 12V power connector JPW1 is used to provide power to the CPU.

Pin Definition

Important

1.Maker sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX power supplies to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.

2.Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for system stability.

Audio Ports

Hardware Setup

Serial ATA Connector: SATA1/ SATA2/ SATA3/ SATA4/ SATA5/ SATA6/ SATA7 (SATA5 & SATA6 are for ICH9R only, SATA7 is controlled by Marvell 88SE6111)

This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can connect to one Serial ATA device.

SATA7

(optional)

SATA6 SATA4 SATA2

SATA5 SATA3 SATA1

*SATA5 & SATA6 are for ICH9R only.

Important

Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data loss may occur during transmission.

MS-7365 Mainboard

Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1, SYSFAN2

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Important

1.Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s official website or consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.

2.Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for CPUFAN1.

3.CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can setup it in H/W Monitor of BIOS Setup. You can install Dual Core Center utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the actual CPU temperature.

Chassis Intrusion Switch Connector: JCI1

This connector connects to a 2-pin chassis switch. If the chassis is opened, the switch will be short. The system will record this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.
