CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
A. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for
future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty
socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.
pin cap
Step 1:
Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 2:
Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot
on CPU should point towards this triangular cut edge. The CPU
will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 3:
Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked
position to complete the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU
and buckle it on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN
power cable into the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

A. DDR 2 Modules
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM
matches the break on the slot.
2. Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the
retaining chip snaps back in place and the DIMM is properly
seated.
Notes:
To remove the DDR modules, push the ejector tabs at both sides
of the slot outward at the same time, and pull the modules out
vertically.
To trigger the Duo Channel function of the motherboard, the
memory module must meet the following requirements:
Install Memory module of the same capacity in both channel 1
(DDR2_A1&DDR2_A2) and Channel 2 (DDR2_B1&DDR2_B2)
The DRAM bus width of the memory module must be the same
(x8 or x16)
Notes:
Using different memory chips on dual channel memory modules
will result in unstable system performance.
