To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner
should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the
four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.
CPU ZIF Socket-A
Colden Arrow
Socket 462
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press
the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 3.0GB DDR SDRAM.
For Support 128-bit data transfer function (Dual
Channel ) must plug both DIMM1 & DIMM3, DIMM2 & DIMM3, or DIMM1
&DIMM2 & DIMM3, other combination only support 64-bit data transfer.

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin
DDR 266/333/400
DDR SDRAM module looks like.
