3.2 Installation You Have to Know
Installing CPU
This socket supports FC-PGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package
developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper
interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the
socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever to finish CPU installation.

Plug the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPUFAN connector. If you have chassis fan,
you can also plug it in SYSFAN1 or SYSFAN2 connector.

Installing CPU Fan
1. Gently put down the CPU fan on the retention module with four clips aligning
correctly to the four holes. Make sure the two levers are in opposite
direction.
2. Press down the clips into the holes one by one. Make sure the clips are
firmly fixed into the holes.

Installing Memory Modules
DIMM slots are designed in black which are very easy to recognize. Insert the
module straight down to the DIMM slot with both hands and press down firmly
until the DIMM module is securely in place.

Note: The tabs of the
DIMM slot will clip to hold the
DIMM in place when the DIMM
touches the slot’s bottom.

Maximum The Performance of the Dual Channel
To obtain the highest performance of Dual Channel, the configuration of DIMM
must meet the following conditions.
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
● same density (128MB~1GB)
● Same DRAM bus width (x8 or x16)
● Either single-sided or double-sided
Note: Using memory modules of different
chip and density will cause system unstable.
Follow reference table below to insert memory module
DIMM A1 DIMM A2 DIMM B1 DIMM B2 Dual channel
V V Enabled

When dual channel mode is successfully enabled, the screen will show “Dual
Channel Mode Enabled” while entering POST screen.
