INSTALLATIONS
NOTE:
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.
Installing the CPU
The MI970 board supports rPGA988B socket for Intel® Ivy Bridge Dual
Core mobile processors.
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As
shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting the
processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the notch
on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the
socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the screw.
Refer to the figures below.

Installing the Memory
The MI970 board supports two DDR3 memory socket for a maximum
total memory of 16GB in DDR3 SO-DIMM memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned
with that on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3 module, press the clips with both hands.
