2.3.1 Installation of Processor (CPU)
Before you install the processor, make sure that you have an approved Heat Sink
with Cooling Fan. Without proper heat sink with cooling fan will damage the proc-
essor and mainboard.
To install your processor, please do the following:
1. Locate a small dot marked on top of the CPU. The marking indicate Pin 1 of
the CPU.
2. Locate the Socket Pin 1 marking on the mainboard.
3.
Push the lever sideway and lift it upwards
to 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU into the
Socket. Please make sure that the CPU Pin
1 is insert to the socket Pin 1 location.
4.
Snap back the lever into place.
5.
Install an approved heat sink with
cooling fan
for proper heat dissipation.
Falling to install a heat sink with cooling
fan may cause overheating and burnout
your CPU.
Caution! Be careful not to scrape the mainboard when mounting a clamp-
style processor fan to prevent damage to the mainboard.
2.3.2. Memory Modules
These mainboards all have two 168-pin SDR DIMM slots and are able to support a
maximum memory (SDRAM) of 512 MB. The SDR DIMM slots are located on the
right hand side of the board. To install the DIMM’s into these slots, make sure the
white lever at each side of the slot has been pulled down to an angle of
approximately 45°. Make sure that the DIMM is in the correct orientation. Place
the DIMM on the slot and push down firmly.The white levers will come back up
and lock the module in place.
