Mainboard K8X250

Chapter 1. Getting Started

Introduction

Congratulations on the choosing the K8X250 Mainboard. It is based on the nVIDIA®nForce3

250 chipset and it supports the AMD AthlonTM 64/ SempronTM Processor with system bus 800

MHz (1600MT/s).

The K8X250 provides two 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) sockets which support

to insert DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (PC2700)/ DDR266 (PC2100)/ DDR200 (PC1600)

SDRAMs, and support a total memory capacity of 2 GB.

The K8X250 provides one 8x AGP slot, five 32-bit PCI slots, and one CNR slot (optional). It also

provides two IDE connectors for IDE devices with supporting PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and

Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133. One floppy disk drive connector that can be used with 360KB/

720KB/ 1.2MB/ 1.44MB/ 2.88MB drives.

This mainboard has onboard Serial ATA function with two SATA connectors and are compatible

with the SATA 1.0 specification. The SATA interface provides up to 150 Mbps and supports with

RAID 0/ 1/ 0+1/ JBOD mode (See Appendix II).

There is a maximum of eight USB2.0/ 1.1 ports that can be set up on this mainboard.

The onboard AC’ 97 sound codec supports high quality performance 6-channel audio play

(Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect) (See Appendix I) and also supports the Sony/Philips Digital

Interfaces (SPDIF) specifications.

The K8X250 comes with an onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN chip. There is a LAN port on

the back panel that you can directly plug into an Internet cable.

Hardware Installation

This section will assist you quickly in installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap

before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.

CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports AMD AthlonTM 64/ SempronTM processor using a Socket 754. Before

building your system, it is recommended that visit the AMD website for the detailed processor

installation procedures. (http://www.amd.com)

CPU Socket 754 Configuration Steps:

1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the locking lever away from the socket.

Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.

2. On the socket, locate the corner which has the “diagonally cut-corner” on the rectangular

shaped pattern of pinholes (see diagram below-left). Match that corner with the “gold triangle”

on the CPU (see diagram below-right) and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the

CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.

3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.

4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the

clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and

insert it onto the “CPUFAN” adapter.

Attention

DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure

that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the

system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed

and the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case your CPU and

other sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.
