2.1 CPU Installation

Schritt 1.		Entriegeln Sie die Steckdose durch Hochziehen des Hebels bis zu
		einer 90 Winkel.
Schritt 2.		Positionieren Sie die CPU direct über die Steckdose so, daß ihre
		markierte Ecke den Sockel des Dosehebels passt.
Schritt 3.		Stecken Sie die CPU vorsichtig in den Sockel hinein, bis sie in der
		Stelle passt.
		Die CPU passt nur in einer Richtung. Zwingen Sie die CPU nicht in den Sockel
		ab, um die Biegung der Pins zu vermeiden.
Schritt 4.		Wenn die CPU an der Stelle ist, dann drücken Sie sie fest auf der
		Dose während Sie den Dosehebel hinrunter drücken. Der Hebel klickt
		auf der Seitenklappe und das zeigt, daß sie verriegelt ist.

2.2Installation des CPU-Lüfters und des Kühlkörpers

Diese Hauptplatine adotpiert 478-pin CPU Sockel zur Unterstützung der Intel® Pentium® 4 / Celeron® CPU. Es erfordert große Kühlwinkel und Ventilator, um die Hitze abzuführen. Sie brauchen auch thermales Schmiermittel zwischen der CPU und der Kühlwinkel zu sprühen, um die Abführung der Hitze zu verbessern. Vergewissern Sie sich, daß die CPU und Kühlwinkel fest zusammen befestigt und in gutem Kontakt miteinanderen sind. Danach verbinden Sie die CPU Ventilator mit der CPU_Ventilator Anschlußstück (CPU_FAN1, siehe S.2 No. 30). Für die korrekte Installation bitte lesen Sie die Gebrauchanweisung der CPU Ventilator und der Kühlwinkel.

2.3 Installation der Speichermodule (DIMM)

Das P4VM890-Motherboard hat zwei 184-pol. DDR- (Double Data Rate) DIMMSteckplätze.

Achten Sie darauf, das Netzteil abzustecken, bevor Sie DIMMs oder

Systemkomponenten hinzufügen oder entfernen.

Schritt 1: Öffnen Sie einen DIMM-Slot, indem Sie die seitlichen Clips nach außen drücken.

Schritt 2: Richten Sie das DIMM-Modul so über dem Slot aus, dass das Modul mit der Kerbe in den Slot passt.

Die DIMM-Module passen nur richtig herum eingelegt in die Steckplätze.

Falls Sie versuchen, die DIMM-Module mit Gewalt falsch herum in die

Steckplätze zu zwingen, führt dies zu dauerhaften Schäden am

Mainboard und am DIMM-Modul.

Schritt 3: Drücken Sie die DIMM-Module fest in die Steckplätze, so dass die Halteklammern an beiden Enden des Moduls einschnappen und das DIMM-Modul fest an Ort und Stelle sitzt.
