"*" HT functionality requirement content :
Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all
of the following platform components:
- CPU: An Intel
- Chipset: An Intel
- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled
- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Chipset that supports HT Technology
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.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 2- Install memory modules
Step 3- Install expansion cards
Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply

Congratulations you have accomplished the hardware installation!
Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet. Continue with
the BIOS/software installation.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
English
Step 1-1: CPU Installation
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.
Angling the
rod to 65
1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a
kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to
90-degree when a noise “cough” made.

4. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU
upper corner. Then insert the CPU
into the socket.

Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation
Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning:
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 heatsink.
(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 heat sink user's manual for more detail installation procedure.
English
1. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the
mainboard.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.
- 11 -Hardware Installation Process
Step 2: Install memory modules
English
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.
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM 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.

- 12 -GA-8VD667 Motherboard
DDR
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.
DDR Introduction
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.

1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before install the expansion card into
English
2. Remove your computer’s chassis cover, 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
