This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.

Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU

to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal

interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with

each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see

page 11, No. 7).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.

Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the

CPU fan connector on the motherboard

(CPU_FAN1, see page 11, No. 7).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

throughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

down on fastener caps with thumb to install

and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

4Core1333-Viiv motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate II)

DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed,

size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p.11 No.8) or identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.11 No.9), so that Dual

Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows

you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel

Memory Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

(1) Populated - Populated -

(2) - Populated - Populated

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow

slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2

and DDRII_4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1

and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology .

4. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

5. If you plan to use ATITM PCI Express VGA card on this motherboard,

the total system memory size should be above 512MB.
