Page 13
2.4.2. Memory Modules
The mainboard has two 184-pin DDR DIMM slots which are located on the
right-hand side of the board. The maximum supported memory is 1 GB. To
install the DIMM
s into these slots, make sure the white lever at each side of
the slot has been pulled down to an angle of approximately 45
. Make sure
that the DIMM is in the correct orientation. Place the DIMM on the slot and
push down firmly.The white levers will come back up and lock the module in
place.
Note: The system memory supports 128 MB, 256 MB and 512 MB technologies
for x8 and x16 devices.
Hardware Installation
2.4.1. Installation of the CPU
To install your processor, please complete the following set of instructions:
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top of the CPU. This mark indicates Pin 1
of the CPU.
2. Locate Pin 1 for the socket on the mainboard.
3. There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this lever sideways
and then lift it to a 90-degree angle.
4. Insert the CPU into the socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 of the CPU is
inserted into Pin 1 of the socket.
5. When the CPU is installed correctly push the lever back into place.

IMPORTANT: CPU COOLING FAN
Please ensure that you have an approved heat sink with cooling fan. Without a
proper heat sink with cooling fan you will damage both the mainboard and
CPU.
Important: The DIMM’s can only be fitted into the slots in one orientation.
Make sure that the DIMM’s are in the correct orientation and the pins are cor-
rectly aligned before you insert them.
