[. . . ] 8KTA Sock Processor An AMD Socket A Pr ocessor based motherboard (133/100MHz) Supports Suppor ts PC-133 SDRAM Modules TRADEMARK All products and company names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders. These specifications are subjected to change without notice. Manual Revision 1. 0 June 21, 2000 8KTA Features FEATURES 8KTA Features: 8KTA is based on the AMD Socket A Processors operating at 600 ~ 1GHz on Socket A. Supports up to 768MB of DRAM (minimum of 32 MB) on board 8KTA will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using parity SDRAM memory modules. [. . . ] Software power-down when using Windows® 95/98 or Windows®2000. Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem, allows system to be turned on remotely). Resume by Alarm - Allows your system to turn on at a preselected time. Power Loss Recovery - In the event of a power outage your system will automatically turn itself back on without user intervention. Supports CPU Front Side Bus setting via BIOS. Page 3 Installation 8KTA 8KTA Detailed Layout Figure 1 Page 4 8KTA Easy Installation Procedure Installation The following must be completed before powering on your new system: CPU Insertion Jumper Settings System memory Configuration Device Connectors CPU Insertion CPU Insertion: (use AMD AthlonTM as reference) Step 1 Open the socket by raising the actuation lever. Figure 2 Step 2 Insert the processor. Ensure proper pin 1 orientation by aligning the FC-PGA corner marking with the socket corner closest to the actuation arm tip. Make sure the processor is fully inserted into the socket on all sides. Page 5 Figure 3 Installation Step 3 8KTA Close the socket by lowering and locking the actuation lever. Figure 4 Step 4 Thermal conductive and qualified heatsink recommended by AMD are a must to avoid CPU overheat and burned. Figure 5 Page 6 8KTA Jumper Settings Installation The 8KTA motherboard was designed with very few jumpers to make your installation faster and easier.

DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed. If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns. When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock. Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations.
