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.

Memory
The DIMM slots are intended for system memory modules.
DDR2 SO-DIMM Slot
200-pin, 1.8V
Installing Memory Modules
1. Locate the SO-DIMM slots on the mainboard.
2. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on the slot. Insert the DIMM vertically into
the SO-DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the DIMM is deeply
inserted in the SO-DIMM slot.
3. Manually check if the DIMM has been locked in place by the retaining clips at the
sides.
Important
1. Make sure that you install the memory modules first before installing
the CPU and cooler set.
2. Always insert the memory module into the DIMM1 first.
2-3
MS-9818 Mainboard
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports Intel® Penryn/Core 2 Duo/Celeron M processors in
Socket P. 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.
