Chapter 1. Getting Started  
Introduction  
Congratulations on choosing the KI51PV-754 Mainboard. It is based on the nVIDIA® nForce4  
C51PV Northbridge chipset and the nVIDIA® nForce4 MCP51 Southbridge chipset; with  
possessing integrated graphics feature. The mainboard supports the AMD AthlonTM 64/  
SempronTM processor (The power consumption for the aforementioned processors must be  
rated at 65W or less.) socket 754 with FSB (Front Side Bus) frequencies of 800 MHz (1600  
MT/s).  
The KI51PV-754 provides one DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) socket. It allows you  
installing 184-pin, non-ECC and unbuffered DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (2700) SDRAM which  
supports a total memory capacity of 1GB.  
The mainboard provides one PCI slot for use with a graphics card or expansion cards which the  
interfaces are compatible.  
The KI51PV-754 provides one floppy disk drive connector that can be used with 360KB/  
720KB/1.2MB/1.44MB/2.88MB drives. It also has two IDE connectors for hard drives supporting  
Ultra ATA 66/100/133. In addition, the onboard Serial ATA II comes with four SATA II  
connectors, which each interface can provide up to3 Gbps transfer rate and also support RAID  
0/ 1/ 0+1/ JBOD/ 5 mode (See Appendix II).  
Moreover, the KI51PV-754 provides onboard I/O facilities such as one VGA connector (=D-Sub  
connector), one DVI connector, and a maximum of eight USB 2.0/ 1.1 ports that can be set.  
Four headers are also available on this mainboard for a TV OUT connector, a printer connector,  
and two COM connectors to be set externally with cables and used additionally.  
The onboard AC’ 97 audio codec supports high quality 6-channel audio play (Super 5.1  
Channel Audio Effect) (See Appendix I) and supports the Sony/Philips Digital Interfaces  
(SPDIF) specifications (Optional).  
This mainboard also comes with one onboard 10/100 Mbps and the other built-in 1 Gbps  
Ethernet LAN chips. There are two LAN ports on the back panel of your computer case that you  
can directly plug into an Internet cable.  
In addition, this mainboard supports the ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) card (Optional), which is  
a small circuit board inserted onto the mainboard providing full backup BIOS functionality in  
case of BIOS failure or damage during the BIOS flash (See Appendix III).

Hardware Installation  
This section will assist you in quickly 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 Socket 754. Before  
building your system, we suggest you visit the AMD website and review the processor  
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.  
Diagonally  
Cut-corner  
Gold triangle  
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.

FAN Headers: CPUFAN, CHASFAN  
There are two fan headers available for cooling fans. The cooling fans play an important role in  
maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU  
cooling fan. The CHASFAN header is attached with other cooling fans.

Attention  
You can avoid damaging your CPU due to high temperatures with  
proper cooling equipment. It is recommended that attach a cooling fan  
on top of your CPU. Use the CPUFAN header to attach the fan cord.  
On most fan power cord, the black wire of the fan cable is the “ground”  
and should be attached to pin-1 of the header.  
Memory Installation: DIMM1  
The KI51PV-754 provides one DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) socket. It allows you to  
install 184-pin, non-ECC & unbuffered DDR400 (PC3200)/ DDR333 (PC2700) SDRAM that  
supports a total memory capacity of 1GB.  
Memory Setup Steps:  
1. Pull the white plastic tabs at both ends of the socket away.
