3. Put the CPU Fan down on
the retention module and
snap the four retention legs
of the cooling fan into place.
4. Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place.
5. Connect the CPU Cooling
Fan power cable to the
CPUFAN1 connector. This
completes the installation.
Notes:
•
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least.
•
CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of
CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also
vary.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data Rate
(DDR) SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be standard or
registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). The
memory bus runs at 166 MHz.
Note:
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM
(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.
The motherboard accommodates two memory modules. You must install at
least one module in any of the two slots. Each module can be installed with 32
MB to 1 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 2 GB.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only
by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always
wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR SDRAM only. Do not attempt
