1.5.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin
footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently

to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2

Channel B DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2

Install at least a memory module in DIMM_A1 or DIMM_A2 slot to support the

Intel® Quiet System Technology and for optimum performance. Otherwise, system

will halt.

1.5.2 Memory congurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs

into the DIMM sockets.

1-18 Chapter 1: Product introduction

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it
is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

• If you install four 1 or 2GB memory modules, the system may only recognize
less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for other critical functions.
This limitation appears on Windows® XP 32-bit operation system which does
not support Physical Address Extension (PAE).

• If you install Windows® XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less
than 3GB is recommended.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips or double sided x16 memory modules.

Notes on memory limitations

• Due to chi pset l im itation, t his mot herboard can o nl y sup po rt up to
8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of
2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 2 GB density
modules are available for this conguration.

32-bit 64-bit

Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

• So me ol d -v e rs i on DD R2- 800 /66 7 DIM Ms ma y not ma tch Inte l®’s
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to
run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check the
ODT value.

• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run at
DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust
the memory timing manually.

• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded to run at
DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust
the memory timing manually.

• The total memory may has 8MB reduction under Single Channel mode,
and 16MB reduction under Dual Channel mode because the address space
is reserved for the Intel® vPro™ Technology and the Intel® Quiet System

Technology.

1.5.3 Installing a DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system
components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard
and the components.

To install a DIMM:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by
pressing the retaining clips

outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socket until the retaining clips
snap back in place and the DIMM
is properly seated.

• A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. Do
not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. Do not install DDR

DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

1.5.4 Removing a DIMM

To remove a DIMM:

1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

1.6 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections
describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion
cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard

components.

1.6.1 Installing an expansion card

To install an expansion card:

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with
it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a
chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw
for later use.

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.

1.6.2 Conguring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, congure it by adjusting the software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See
Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup.

2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.

3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share
IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conicts will arise
between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.
Refer to the table on the next page for details.

iQ965-IGM Clear RTC RAM

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You
can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by
erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the
RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system
passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to

re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking.
For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset
parameter settings to default values.

• Due to the chipset limitation, AC power off is required prior using C.P.R.
function. You must turn off and on the power supply or unplug and plug the
power cord before reboot the system.
