2.1 CPU Sockets This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to install either 939-Pin CPU (AMD Athlon 64FX) or 754-Pin CPU (AMD Athlon 64) into this motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not install both of them into this motherboard. Important: If you install a 939-Pin CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to adjust the setting of J1 / J2 / J3 / J4 / J5 / J6 / J7 Jumpers by shorting pin2 and pin3 of all these seven sets of jumpers. These jumpers are set to support 754-Pin CPU by shorting pin1 and pin2 by default. Please refer to the figure below for these jumpers' location on the motherboard.
