Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets, and supports up to 2.0 GB of 400 MHz
DDR 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. DDR
DIMMs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or 133 MHz
memory bus.
DDR SDRAM provides 1.6 GB/s, 2.1 GB/s or 3.2 GB/s data
transfer rate when the bus is 100 MHz, 133 MHz or 200 MHz
respectively. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground
lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module.

3
Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch
on the edge of socket.
4
Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5
Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and
secure them all onto the socket base.
6
Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan
connector (CPU_FAN) on the mainboard.
