Preparing Your Computer

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
power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis

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.

Hardware Installation Process

Step 2: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

English

Step 2-1: CPU Installation

Figure 1.
Pull the rod to the 90-degree
directly.

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:

1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparable damage.

3. 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.

4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.

5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent damage
will result.

6. 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, Memory, Cards…etc.

Socket Actuation Lever

Figure 2.
Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a cut edge on the CPU upper

corner. Insert the CPU into the
socket. (Do not force the CPU into the socket.) Then move the socket
lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the
CPU.

Step 2-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation

Figure 1.
Apply the thermal tape(or grease)
to provide better heat conduction
between your CPU and cooling
fan.

Figure 2.
Fasten the cooling fan support­ing-base onto the CPU socket on
the motherboard.

- 10 -7VM400AM-RZ Motherboard

Figure 3.
Make sure the CPU fan is plugged
to the CPU fan connector, than the
install completely.

Step 3: Install Memory Modules

Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:

1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong
orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

The motherboard has 2 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.

Notch

DDR

1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory
module can only fit in one direction.

English

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the
DIMM socket. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM
sockets to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to re­move the DIMM module.

Hardware Installation Process

Step 4: Install AGP Card

1. Read the relate AGP card's instruction document before install the AGP card into the computer.

2. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP

The BIOS determines how much ex tended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located abov e 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.
