NOTE:
You cannot mix two
types
(FPM, EDO, or SDRAM) or sizes
of memory in a single bank. After installing any memory modules,
setup is required using "Auto Configuration" in the Chipset Features
section of BIOS setup.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7. The CPU should
have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If the CPU did not
come with a fan then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.
Apply thermal jelly to the CPU top and then install the fan onto the
CPU.
NOTE:
Without a fan, the CPU can overheat and cause damage to
both the CPU and the motherboard
2.4.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU, locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the
lever sideways away from the socket's "Lock" then upwards to a 90-
degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown.
Look to see that the pins are denser on one half compared to the other
half. You should have a CPU fan that will cover the face of the CPU.
With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required to insert
