NF-M2P/NF-M2S/NF-M2SV

 

To install system memory: 

 

1.  Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before 

installing or removing memory modules. 

2.  Locate the DIMM slot on the board. 
3.  Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from 

touching its connectors. 

4.  Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. 
5.  Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both 

sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not 

force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module 
only fits in one direction. 

6.  To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the 

slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. 

※ 

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the 

computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, 

ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a 

grounded metal object briefly. 

1.8 Connecting Peripheral Devices 

1.8.1 Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors 

     

 

Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDD 
on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk 
drives connector. Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your 
system. 

※ 

The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both 

the FDD port and the floppy connector. 

Connect the single end (blue connector) at the longer length of ribbon 
cable to the IDE port of this board, the other two ends (gray and black 
connector) at the shorter length of the ribbon cable to the connectors 
of your hard drives. 

※ 

Make sure to configure the “Master” 

and “Slave” relation before connecting 

two drives by one single ribbon cable. 

The red line on the ribbon cable must 

be aligned with pin-1 on both the IDE 

port and the hard-drive connector.
