2. On the socket-7 processor, identify the pin-1 corner by noting
that it has a slight bevel.
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 heatsink/cooling
fan assembly, connect the cable from the fan to the CPU fan
power connector FAN1.
Install Memory
The mainboard has two 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 DIMM2.
