1-3Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler
Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:
1.Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
2.Please take note of the pin 1 marking (the small triangle) on the CPU. If you install theCPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, pleasechange the insert direction of the CPU.
3.Please add an even layer of heat paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.
4.Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use,otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.
5.Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. Itis not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifica-tions since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to setthe frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hard-ware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
1-3-1Installation of the CPU
Check the CPU pins to see that none are bent. Move the socket lever to the unlocked position as shownin Fig. 1 (90o to the plane of the motherboard) prior to inserting the CPU. The pin 1 location is designatedon the CPU by a small triangle that corresponds to a triangle marking on the socket as shown in Fig.
2. Align the CPU to the socket and gently lower it into place. Do not force the CPU into the socket.
Fig.1
Socket Lever
Position lever at a 90 degree angle.
Fig.2Pin 1 location on the socket and processor.Gently place the CPU into position making sure that the CPU pins fitperfectly into their holes. Once the CPU is positioned into its socket,place one finger down on the middle of the CPU and gently press themetal lever back into its original position.
Pin One
Please use extra care when installing the CPU. The CPU will not fit if positioned incorrectly.Rather than applying force, please change the positioning of the CPU.
GA-M61PM-S2 (rev. 2.0) Motherboard-12-
1-3-2Installation of the CPU Cooler
Fig.1Before installing the CPU cooler, please first add an even layer of heatpaste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the CPU cooler components(Please refer to the cooler manual for detailed installation instructions).
Fig.2Please connect the CPU cooler power connector to the CPU_FAN con-nector located on the motherboard so that the CPU cooler can properlyfunction to prevent CPU overheating.
The CPU cooler may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat paste. To preventsuch an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat paste be used forheat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the CPU cooler.

1-4Installation of Memory
Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:
1.Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It isrecommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.
2.Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer poweris switched off to prevent hardware damage.
3.Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed inonly one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.
The motherboard supports DDRII memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memorycapacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one direction.The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.
Notch
DDRII
Fig.1The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module canonly fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
Fig.2Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock theDIMM module.Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove theDIMM module.
GA-M61PM-S2 (rev. 2.0) Motherboard-14-
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
The GA-M61PM-S2 supports the Dual Channel Technology.After operatingthe Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will double.
Due to CPU limitation, if you wish to operate the Dual Channel Technology, follow the guidelines below:
1.Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2.To enable Dual Channel mode with two memory modules (it is recommended to use memorymodules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM socketsof the same color.
3.To enable Dual Channel mode with four memory modules, it is recommended to use memorymodules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table:(DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side, "--": Empty)

2 memory modules
4 memory modules
If two memory modules are to be used to achieve Dual Channel mode, we recommendinstalling them in DDRII_1 and DDRII_2 DIMM sockets.

1/2)ATX_12V/ATX (Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to allthe components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make surethat all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with itsproper location on the motherboard and connect tightly.The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the ATX_12V powerconnector is not connected, the system will not start.Caution!Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It isrecommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (300Wor greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result canlead to an unstable system or a system that is unable to start.If you use a 24-pin ATX power supply, please remove the small cover on the power connectoron the motherboard before plugging in the power cord; otherwise, please do not remove it.
