3. On the socket-7, identify the pin-1 corner. The pin-1 corner is
on the same side as the locking lever, closest to the top of the
lever when it is in the locked position.
4. Match the pin-1 corners and insert the socket-7 processor into
the socket. No force is required and the processor should drop
into place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This locks the socket-7 processor in the
socket.
6. If the socket-7 processor is installed with a cooling fan
assembly, connect the cable from the fan to the CPU fan power
connector FAN1.
Install Memory
The mainboard has three DIMM slots that can be installed with
memory modules. You must install at least one memory module in
order to use the mainboard. You must install the first memory
module into DIMM1 so that the system can share some of the
memory with the built-in graphics system. A second module can be
installed in either DIMM2 or DIMM3.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V memory modules
installed with SDRAM memory chips. For best performance, we
recommend that you use PC-100 memory modules which operate
over a 100 MHz memory bus.
