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.

2-3

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.

2-5

MS-9642 Mainboard

Memory

The DIMM slots are intended for system memory modules.

DDR2

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.

ATX 20-Pin System Power Connector: ATX1

This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX
power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper
orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the
connector.
