Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect
them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your
computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
ower connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no
slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just
cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands).
In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes
you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because
the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or
parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board
malfunctioning.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards...etc.

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will
cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation
1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction
between your CPU and cooling fan.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal
paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the
processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the
processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape
instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3.Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the
mainboard.
Before installing the CPU cooling Fan , adhere to the following warning:

The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically
detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM
socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary
between sockets.
Step 2: Install memory modules
DDR 1 2 3 4
Notch
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches.
Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
Support Unbuffered DDR DIMM Sizes type:
64 Mbit (2Mx8x4 banks) 64 Mbit (1Mx16x4 banks) 128 Mbit(4Mx8x4 banks)
128 Mbit(2Mx16x4 banks) 256 Mbit(8Mx8x4 banks) 256 Mbit(4Mx16x4 banks)
512 Mbit(16Mx8x4 banks) 512 Mbit(8Mx16x4 banks)
Total System Memory (Max2GB)
DDR
The motherboard supports dual channel memory architecture for optimal memory performance. Therefore
please plug in two memory modules with the same technical specification in socket DDR1, DDR3 or
DDR2, DDR4. For single channel memory you can plug in only one memory modul inany memory
socket.

Hardware Installation Process

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high
performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM
infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling
the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from existing
SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR memory
(DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of the clock,
achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency.
With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build high
performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, high-end
PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to conventional
SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook
applications.
DDR Introduction
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM
slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish
to remove the DIMM module.

Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into
the computer.
2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6. Replace your computer's chassis cover.
7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8. Install related driver from the operating system.
When an AGP 2x (3.3V) card is installed the 2X_DET will light up, indicating a non-
supported graphics card is inserted. Informing users that system might not boot up normally
due to AGP 2x (3.3V) is not supported by the chipset.
AGP Card
Please carefully pull out the small white- drawable
bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to install/
Uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card
to the onboard AGP slot and press firmly down on
the slot .Make sure your AGP card is locked by the
small white- drawable bar.
Issues To Beware Of When Installing CNR
Please use standard CNR card like the one in order to avoid mechanical problem.
