INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The MI952 board supports a Socket AM2 (940-pin) processor socket for
Athlon64 / Athlon64 x2 (dual core) / Sempron processors.
AMD To install the CPU, unlock first the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90-degree angle as shown below. Then, position the CPU above the socket such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the socket corner with a small triangle. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket and push down the lever to secure the CPU. Then, install the heat sink and fan.
NOTE:
6
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would cause your system to hang or be unstable.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Memory
The MI952 board supports two DDR2 memory socket for a maximum total memory of 4GB in DDR2 memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module aligned
with that on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR2 m odule in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR2 module in place when the DDR2 module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.
