2. Setting up the mainbaord

Before assembling the mainboard into the PC case we recommend you to perform.

1. CPU Installation

2. DDR Memory Insertion

After the mainboard is fitted into the case, you may

3. Install Add-on VGA Or PCI cards

4. Connect the internal cables and wires

5. Connect your external peripherals to the rear I/O port

Step 1

Open the socket by raising the actuation

lever.

Step 2

Align pin 1 on the CPU with pin 1 on the

CPU socket as shown above. Insert the

CPU and make sure it is fully inserted into

the socket.

3.1 CPU Installation

3. Installation

The CPU is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion, do not

force the CPU into the socket. If it does not go in easily,

check for mis-orientation.

English

3.2 DDR Memory Insertion

The mainboard accommodates two PC2100/PC2700 184-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line

Memory Modules):

• Supports up to 2.0GB of 266/333MHz DDR SDRAM.

• Supports unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs.

•DDR SDRAM supports 64, 128, 256, 512MB and 1GB DIMM modules.

• Supports DRAM configurations defined in the JEDEC DDR DIMM specification.

Step 3

Close the socket by lowering and locking the

actuation lever.

Step 4

Install the cooling fan assembly.

• Installing without a cooling fan will cause CPU overheat and damage the CPU.

• Apply heatsink thermal compound/paste to the CPU.

To install, align the notch on the

DIMM module with the connector.

Press straight down as shown in the

figure until the white clips close and

the module fits tightly into the

DIMM socket.

English

3.3 VGA and PCI card installation

To install a VGA card into the AGP slot or a PCI expansion card:

1. Remove the bracket (on the PC case) for the slot you intend to use.

2. Firmly press down the card into the slot until it is completely seated. For an AGP

card ensure the AGP slot clicker is locked as shown in the picture below.

3. Secure the card's bracket to the PC case with a screw.

The AGP slot supports only newer VGA cards with 1.5V specifications.
