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.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The mainboard supports Intel® Core 2 Duo/ Core Duo/ Core Solo/ Celeron M/ Celeron LV 423 BGA (with BGA Passive Cooler) processors in Socket M. 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.

MS-9642 Mainboard

CPU & Cooler Set Installation

1.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.

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

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

4.Release the metal clips on the retention mechanism.

Important

Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration only and may differ from the actual look of your mainboard.

2-4

Hardware Setup

5. Mount the cooler set (fan & heatsink bundled) on top of the CPU and fit it into the retention mechanism.

6. Secure the metal clips back to the retention mechanism.

7. Connect the fan power cable from the mounted fan to the 3-pin fan power connector on the mainboard.

Memory

The DIMM slots are intended for system 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.
