Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
C. Install the CPU on the socket
•
Orientate CPU package to the socket.
Make sure you match triangle marker
to pin 1 location.
D. Close the load plate
•
Slightly push down the load plate onto
the tongue side, and hook the lever.
•
CPU is locked completely.
E. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.
F. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base
onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
G. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector. Please refer to
the CPU cooling fan user’s manual for
more detail installation procedure.
Note1
:To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink
installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink
supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
Note2
:The fan connector supports the CPU cooling fan of 1.1A~2.2A (26.4W
max.) at +12V.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates four memory modules, which are two 184-pin
2.5V DIMM3-4 sockets (Dual Inline Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR
400
memory modules (Double Data Rate SDRAM) and the other two 240-pin 1.8V
DIMM1-2 sockets (Dual Inline Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR2
533
/
DDR400 memory modules (Double Data Rate SDRAM). DDR SDRAM is a
type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle
(the rising and falling edges), effectively doubling the memory chip’s data
throughput. You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each
module can be installed with 256 MB to 1 GB of memory; total memory
capacity is 2 GB.
