1-3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler
English
Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
2. Please take note of the pin 1 marking (the small triangle) on the CPU. If you install the
CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please
change the insert direction of the CPU.
3. Please add an even layer of heat paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.
4. Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use,
otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.
5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It
is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifica
tions since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set
the frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your
hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
1-3-1 Installation of the CPU
Check the CPU pins to see that none are bent. Move the socket lever to the unlocked position as shown
in Fig. 1 (90o to the plane of the motherboard) prior to inserting the CPU. The pin 1 location is designated
on the CPU by a small triangle that corresponds to a triangle marking on the socket as shown in
Fig. 2. Align the CPU to the socket and gently lower it into place. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
Socket Lever
Fig.1
Position lever at a 90 degree angle.
Fig.2
Pin 1 location on the socket and processor.
Gently place the CPU into position making sure that the CPU pins
fitperfectly into their holes. Once the CPU is positioned into its socket,
place one finger down on the middle of the CPU and gently press
themetal lever back into its original position.
Pin One
Please use extra care when installing the CPU. The CPU will not fit if positioned incorrectly.
Rather than applying force, please change the positioning of the CPU.
GA-MA69VM-S2 Motherboard - 12 -
1-3-2 Installation of the CPU cooler
Fig.1
Before installing the CPU cooler, please first add an even layer of heat
paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the CPU cooler components
(Please refer to the heat sink manual for detailed installation instructions).
Fig.2
Please connect the CPU cooler power connector to the CPU_FAN connector located on the motherboard so that the CPU cooler can properly
function to prevent CPU overheating.
Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between
the CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler
may damage the CPU.

1-4 Installation of Memory
Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is
recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.
2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer
power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be
installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the
direction.
The motherboard supports DDRII memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory
capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one
direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.
Notch
DDR II
Fig.1
The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory
module can only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory
module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
Fig.2
Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to
lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove
the DIMM module.
GA-MA69VM-S2 Motherboard - 14 -
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
The GA-MA69VM-S2 supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating
the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double.
Due to CPU limitation, if you wish to operate the Dual Channel Technology,
follow the guidelines below:
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR2 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same
colored DDR2 sockets for optimum performance.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table:
(DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side, "--": Empty)
DDRII 1 DDRII 2 DDRII 3 DDRII 4
2 memory modules
4 memory modules
If two memory modules are to be used to achieve Dual Channel mode, we recommend
installing them in DDRII 1 and DDRII 2 DIMM sockets.

1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all
the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make sure
that all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its
proper location on the motherboard and connect tightly.
The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the ATX_12V power
connector is not connected, the system will not start.
Caution!
Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It is
recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (300W
or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can
lead to an unstable system or a system that is unable to start.
If you use a 24-pin ATX power supply, please remove the small cover on the power connector
on the motherboard before plugging in the power cord; otherwise, please do not remove it.
