Installing the CPU Fan
There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the
instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct
for your chassis type and your fan assembly.
Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots
support 256 Mb, 512 Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb DDR2 technologies for x8 and x16 devices.
There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use
the following the recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 7 for
the location of the memory slots.)
q
One DIMM
: Install into slot 1 or 2. You can install the DIMM into any slot,
however, slot 1 is preferred.
q
Two DIMMs
: Install into either slots 1 and 2. The idea is to not have
the DIMMs in adjacent slots.
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the
motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This
slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed
properly.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into
the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock
the DIMM into the connector.
