ESD Precautions

Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:

 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install them.

 Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted

portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.

 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic

component stores, when handling boards and components.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Before installing the processor, please access Intel

®

website for more

detailed information http://www.intel.com

.

3.1 Installing the Processor

The LGA775 processor socket c omes with a cover to protect the processor.
Please install the processor into the CPU socket step by step as below:

Hold the hook (A) of the lever and push it down.
Pull the lever (B) aside to unlock the cover.

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

Hardware Installation

23

Remove the plastic cap (E) from the cover.

Open the cover (C), you can
see the contact.

Be careful not to touch the
contact (D).

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

Hardware Installation

24

Place the CPU down into the socket. Be careful not to touch the
contact.

Hold the edges of the CPU, and orientate it as the marked direction (G)
down into the socket to match the (H) and (F) locations.

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

Hardware Installation

25

Slightly push down the cover and hook the lever (I~J). The CPU is
completely locked.

Orientate the CPU cooling fan to fixing holes on the board.

IMB203 LGA775 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual

3.2 Installing the Memory

The board supports four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM memory sockets with
maximum memory capacity up to 16GB.

Please follow steps below to install the memory modules:
1 Push down latches on each side of the DIMM socket.

2 Align the memory module with the socket that notches of

memory module must match the socket keys for a correct
installation.

3 Install the memory module into the socket and push it firmly

down until it is fully seated. The socket latches are levered
upwards and clipped on to the edges of the DIMM.

4 Install any remaining DIMM modules.
