To create a bootable RAID volume for a Windows 2000 environment, Microsoft’s Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is required. As the end user cannot boot without SP4, a combination installation CD must be created before attempting to install the operating sys- tem onto the bootable RAID volume. To create the combination installation CD, please refer to the fol- lowing website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/ downloads/servicepacks/sp4/HFdeploy.htm

2-3 Hardware Setup Central Processing Unit: CPU MSI Reminds You... Overheating Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Replacing the CPU While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU. Overclocking This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnor- mal 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 be- yond product specifications. The mainboard supports AMD ® Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™ processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket A for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/ program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php. CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure CPU Clock multiplied by Core/Bus ratio equals the CPU core speed. For example: If CPU Clock =100MHzCore/Bus ratio = 14 thenCPU core speed =Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio = 100MHz x 14 = 1.4 GHz
2-4 MS-6570E ATX Mainboard 1.Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the CPU. 2.Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-de- gree angle. 3. Look for the gold arrow. The gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. 4. If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your mainboard. 5. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, al- ways close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embed- ded into the socket.

2-5 Hardware Setup The following instructions will guide you through the heat sink installation procedures. Please consult your agent for the proper CPU cooler set. 1. Position your CPU cooler set onto the CPU. 2. Use one end of the clip to hook the latch of the CPU sliding plate. 3. Hook the other latch to fix the cooling fan set. You may need a screw drive to press down the other side of the clip. 4. Connect the fan to the power supply connector provided on your mainboard.
