Chapter 2__________Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation of CPU

This section provides information on how to use the jumpers and connectors on the mainboard in
order to set up a workable system.

2.1.1 Installing the CPU

The mainboard supports a Socket 478MT (Napa) processor socket for Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo , Intel®
CoreTM Duo and Intel® CoreTM Solo mobile processors.
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As shown in the left picture below,
loosen the screw first before inserting the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making
sure the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once
the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the screw. Refer to the figures below.

Figure 2.1: Installation of CPU

Note:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid CPU overheating
problem that would cause your system tohang or be unstable.

2.4 Installing the Memory

The mainboard supports two DDR2 memory socket for a maximum total memory of 4GB in DDR2
memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the following steps:

1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align with those on the memory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR2 module in an upright position until the clips of the slot close to hold the DDR2
module in place when the DDR2 module touches the bottom of the slot.

3. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.

4. CAUTION: The DIMM 1 socket must be installed with one DDR2 DIMM to enable the system
to boot-up properly
