7. Installing Memory Modules
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a latest audio transfer file format that provides
impressive
quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most
common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with a
even better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF
connector to a S/PDIF audio module bearing S/PDIF digital output. However, you must have
a S/PDIF supported speaker with S/PDIF digital input to make the most of this function.
6. Connecting Serial ATA Disk
To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends
of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the mainboard and the disk. Like every
other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please note that it is a
jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk.
When connecting two serial ATA disks, the system will automatically take the one
connected to “Serial ATA 1” header as a master disk.
Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to
the corresponding pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in
BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while
the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is
2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this
connector to the soft-power switch connector marked
SPWR
.
Pin1
This motherboard has two 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets that allow you to install 128-bit dual
channel
DDR400
,
DDR333
or
DDR266
memory up to 2GB. Only non-ECC DDR RAM is
supported. Please install suitable modules; otherwise serious damage may occur on
memory sockets or your RAM modules. To run dual channel speed, you have to use the
same type memory modules installed on two DIMMs. If you install two different sized
modules, the system can only run single channel mode and with the speed of that lower
memory module.
Please note that when you install DDR333 memory module and have
your CPU FSB set at 800MHz, the memory can only run with the speed of DDR320. It
is limitation of Intel.
For other limitation of CPU types, please see the table below.
