Installing the Motherboard

CPU Installation Procedure

The following illustration shows CPU installation components.

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.

1 Unhook the locking lever of the CPU socket. Pull the

locking lever away from the socket and raising it to

the upright position.

2 Match the pin1 corner marked as the beveled edge

on the CPU with the pin1 corner on the socket. Insert

the CPU into the socket. Do not use force.

3 Push the locking lever down and hook it under the

latch on the edge of socket.

4 Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.

5 Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and

secure them all onto the socket base.

6 Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan

connector (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.

Installing Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 240-pin

DDR2 1066 (AM2+)/800/667/533/400. The total memory capacity is 32 GB*.

DDR2 SDRAM memory module table

You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each module can be

installed with 8 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 32 GB*.

Memory module Memory Bus

DDR2 400 200 MHz

DDR2 533 266 MHz

DDR2 667 333 MHz

DDR2 800 400 MHz

DDR2 1066 533 MHz

The four DDR2 memory sockets (DDR2_1, DDR2_2, DDR2_3, DDR2_4) are di-

vided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

Channel 0: DDR2_1, DDR2_2

Channel 1: DDR2_3, DDR2_4

1 2 ... 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ... 81 82
