CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise

the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step 2: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on

CPU should point fowards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete

the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU

FAN power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

2.2 FAN HEADERS

CPU FAN Header: JCFAN1

System Fan Header: JSFAN1

Note:

The JCFAN1 and JSFAN1support system cooling fan with Smart Fan Control utility. It sup ports 3 pi n head connector. When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to pin#2, and the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.

2.3 MEMORY MODULES INSTALLATION

2.2.1 DDR Module installation

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 snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

Note:

To assure the system safety, if you need to change D DR modules, firstly, please unplug the 20-pin power cable with the power connector, and then you can change the modules. Afterwards, plug in the cable the power connect or again, and finally you can boot up the system.
