1.4.2 How to install a DIMM Module

1. The DIMM socket has a “ Plastic Safety Tab”, and the DIMM memory module has an “Asymmetrical notch”, so the DIMM memory module can only fit into th e slot in one direction.

2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DIMM memory modules into the socket at a 90-degree angle, th en pu sh down verticall y so that it will fit into the place.

3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs should fit over the edge and hold the DIMM memory modules in place.

1.5.1 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot

Unlike the mouse ports , k e yb oard ports and printer ports , thi s m oth erb o ard d o es not have built in video facilities and therefore requires a video card for one of the expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

1.5.2 CNR (Communication Network Riser) Slot

The CNR specifica tion is an open Industry St andard Arc hitecture, an d it defin es a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports audio, network and modem only.

1.5.3 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards, which has, supplanted the older ISA bus standard in most ports. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.

1.6 Connectors, Headers & Jumpers

The connectors, headers and jumpers introduced below provide you lots of capabilities such as power supply, front panel signal revelation, IDE hard disk connection, floppy disk connection, Wake On LAN function and Front USB connection. Noticeably, a jumper has two or more pins covered by a plastic jumper cap, allowing you to select a different system options.
