Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components.

ONLY FOR SERVICE PERSONEL

Always unplug the power cord before inserting any add-on card or module.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The mainboard supports Intel® Yonah (Intel® Core™ Duo/ T2000 Seqence) and Merom Napa Reflash (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo/ T5000 & T7000 Sequence) in PGA Package. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

Important

1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU & Cooler Installation for PGA Package

1. Locate the CPU socket on the mainboard.

2. Place the CPU on top of the socket. Make sure to align the gold arrow on the CPU with the arrow key on the socket.

3. Push the CPU down until its pins securely fit into the socket.

4. On the front end of the CPU socket is a locking mechanism designed into the form of a screw head. Make sure that you actuate or deactuate this mechanism with a screwdriver before and after installing the CPU.

2-4

Hardware Setup

5. Flip over the mainboard and locate the position of the CPU socket.

6. Detach the shield of the CPU cooler backplate paste and install the backplate to the back of the CPU socket with holes aligned.

7. The heatsink paste helps to enhance heat dissipation of the CPU. Before

installing the cooler set (fan & heatsink bundled), make sure that you detach the shield of the heatsink paste under the cooler set.

8. Locate the four screw holes around the CPU socket where the CPU cooler

backplate was installed. Align the cooler set with the screw holes and mount it on top of the CPU.

9. Screw to secure the cooler set to the mainboard.

10. Connect the fan power cable to the CPUFAN1 connector on the mainboard.

Memory

These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.

240-pin, 1.8V

Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.

Important

You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

1. Make sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX

power supplies to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.

2. Power supply of 130 watts (and above) is highly recommended for

system stability.

3. ATX 12V power connection should be greater than 6A.
