Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
E. Close the load plate
•
Slightly push down the load plate onto
the tongue side, and hook the lever.
•
CPU is locked completely.
F. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.
G. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base
onto the CPU socket on the motherboard.
H. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU
fan connector. Please refer to the CPU cooling fan
user’s manual for mor detail installation procedure.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates two 240-pin DIMM sockets (Dual Inline
Memory Module) for unbuffered
DDR2 667
/533/400 memory modules (Double
Data Rate SDRAM), and maximum 4 GB installed memory.
Over its predecessor, DDR-SDRAM, DDR2-SDRAM offers greater bandwith
and density in a smaller packahe along with a reduction in power consumption.
In addition, DDR2-SDRAM offers new features and functions that enable a
higher clock rate and data rate operations of 400 MHz, 533 MHz and 667 MHz.
DDR2 transfer 64 bits of data twice every clock cycle.
Note 1
: To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 3800 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.
Note 2
: The fan connector supports the CPU cooling fan of 1.1A~2.2A (26.4W
max.) at +12V.
Note 3
: Do Not remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.
Note 4
: Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if
the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
