Caution
Caution
Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the CPU and the
heatsink to keep them fully contacted to meet the heat sink require-
ment.
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or re-
moving expansion cards, RAM or other system peripherals, other-
wise your mainboard and RAM might be seriously damaged.

Introduction
K7S746FX mainboards utilize ( SIS 746FX + SIS 963/963L) chipset
providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective
ATX platform. The new integrated technologies, together with AGP
8X support, AC’97 audio(2/6-channels), integrated LAN(optional),
6 USB 2.0 ports, 2 DRR 400 slots, 2 IEEE 1394 ports (optional),
and 2 SATA connectors(optional), give customers an advanced,
multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides 200/266/
333MHz host bus speed to support AMD socket 462 processors
and the largest DDR memory capacity is up to 2GB. It also pro-
vides advanced features such as Wake-on-LAN, AntiVirus function,
ACPI function and so on. The optimal implementation of the Ad-
vanced Configuration and Power interface (ACPI) specification
makes the PC's power consumption drop to the lowest pos-
sible level and enable quick wakeup.
