Preparing the Motherboard
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges
and do not touch the bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.
1. Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
2. Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover on the load plate to
protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.
3. Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.
4. Remove the processor from its protective cover, making sure you hold it
only by the edges.
It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU,
you have a safe place to store it.
5. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
6. Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or sliding
it into the socket
Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.
7. Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you close and engage
the socket lever.
Installing the CPU heat sink/fan
There are many different heat sink 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 System Memory (DIMMs)
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots support
256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 technologies. There must be at least one memory
bank populated to ensure normal operation.
*Any of the two DIMM slots may be used as primary if only using one memory module.
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.
Align notches with
notches on the CPU
Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the chassis you are
using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty chassis.
Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the
motherboard and then make all the connections.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the
chassis.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to lock
into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned
with the vents on the covers.
Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency
transmissions, protects internal components from dust, foreign objects, and promotes
correct airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press
the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely. If the I/O shield does not fit into
the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the chassis supplier.
Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the
motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are
studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that
you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the chassis.
2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan
assembly instruction.
5. Secure the motherboard with a minimum of six screws.

Expansion Slots
The EVGA nForce motherboard contains four expansion slots, two PCI Express slots and
two PCI slots.
PCI Slots
The two PCI slots support many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card
and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing a card into the PCI
slot, be sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel
with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
PCI Express x1 Slot
There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive
cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.
PCI Express x16 Slot
The PCI Express x16 slot is reserved for a graphics card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is
up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent). When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the
retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could
cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with
the screw used to hold the blank cover.
Install your Operating System
Boot up your machine, setup any hardware configurations within the BIOS setup if needed.
Boot from your OS disk. Once your operating system is installed use the provided driver
disk to install the appropriate drivers.
