Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :
■ Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
■ Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
■
Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only
one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Use caution when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease may stick it
to the CPU. If the Heatsink is stuck slightly twist it left and right until you can remove
it. Be patient and do not use a lot of force.
■
In the installation, we suggest you use the normal INTEL 1366 CPU FAN.
