implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

installation guide of memory modules on page 8 for proper installation.

3. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the

motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it

back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal

grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

4. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!

It may cause permanent damage!

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also

remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded

object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded

antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

2.1 CPU Installation2.1 CPU Installation

2.1 CPU Installation

STEP1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90oangle.

STEP2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked

corner matches the base of the socket lever.

STEP3: Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU

into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

STEP4: When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you

push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on

the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

STEP5: Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly

refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

P4V88/P4V88+ motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM

slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration,

you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)

DDR DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install

identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.2

No. 6) or identical DDRDIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 andDDR4; Black slots;

see p.2 No. 10), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This

motherboard also allows you to install fourDDRDIMMs for dual channel configuration,

and please install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual

Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

DDR1 DDR2 DDR3 DDR4

(Blue Slot) (Black Slot) (Blue Slot) (Black Slot)

(1) Populated - Populated -

(2) - Populated - Populated

(3) Populated Populated Populated Populated

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots

(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1

and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology.

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

STEP1: Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

STEP2: Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the

break on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the

slot at incorrect orientation.

STEP3: Firmly insert theDIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends

fully snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
