Connect the CPU Cooling Fan
power cable connector to the
CPUFAN connector.
Notes:
•
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 4800 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.
Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates three 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data
Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory modules. When you installed DDR266 memory
modules, the memory bus can run up to 133 MHz. If you have DDR200, this
can only run up to 100 MHz.
Note:
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM
(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.
The mainboard accommodates three memory modules. You must install at
least one module in any of the three slots. Each module can be installed with
32 MB to 1 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 3GB.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. This mainboard supports unbuffered DDR SDRAM only. Do not attempt to
insert any other type of DDR SDRAM into the slots.
2. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
