Connect the CPU Cooling Fan
power cable connector to the
CPUFAN connector.
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
The mainboard has two 168-pin/184-pin DIMM sockets for SDRAM/DDR
(Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory modules. The maximum memory
size is 1GB.
DDR SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and
2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.
DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered
DIMMs used by SDRAM.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. 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.
Installation Procedure
You must install at least one memory
module in order to use the main-
board.
Note
: You cannot use DDR
SDRAM and SDRAM
simultaneously.
