Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent the
CPU from overheating. If you do not have a CPU cooler, 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.

Memory

These DIMM slots are intended for system memory modules.

DDR2

240-pin, 1.8V

64x2=128 pin 56x2=112 pin

Installing Memory Modules

1. Locate the DIMM slots on the mainboard. Flip open the retaining clip at each side
of the DIMM slot.

2. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on the slot. Insert the DIMM vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the DIMM is deeply inserted
in the DIMM slot. The retaining clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically
close if the DIMM is properly seated.

Important

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

3. Manually check if the DIMM has been locked in place by the retaining clips at the
sides.

4. Follow the same procedures to install more DIMMs if necessary.
