Hardware Installation
This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage the system’s components.
CPU Processor Installation
These mainboards support Intel® CoreTM 2 Extreme/ CoreTM 2 Quad/ CoreTM 2 Duo/ Pentium® Extreme Edition/ Pentium
®
Processors using a Socket 775. Before building your system, we suggest you to visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures.
http://www.intel.com
CPU Socket 775 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket 775 on your
mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket as shown. Then lift the lever to a 140-degree angle (A). Next, lift up the iron cover (B).
2. There are 2 distinctive marks
located near the corners of the socket on the same side as the lever as shown (C). Match these marks with the marks on the CPU and carefully lower the CPU down onto the socket (D).
3. Replace the iron cover and then
lower the lever until it snaps back into position (E). This will lock down the CPU (F).
4. Smear thermal grease on the top of the CPU. Lower the
CPU fan onto the CPU/CPU socket and secure it using the attachments or screws provided on the fan. Finally, attach the fan power cord to the CPUFAN header.
Attention
DO NOT touch the CPU pin s in case th ey are damaged. Also, make sure that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed and the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case your CPU and other sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.

Mainboard nForce 650i Ultra
FAN Headers: CPU FAN, C55 FAN
There are several fan headers available for cooling fans on the mainboard. Here describes the two important ones only. The cooling fans play an important role in maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU cooling fan. The C55 FAN header is attached with the nForce SPP fan.

Memory Installation: DIMM0/1/2/3
The nForce 650i Ultra mainboard provides four DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) sockets which allow you to install 240-pin, unbuffered non-ECC, DDRII 800/ 667/ 533 SDRAMs. It also supports Dual Channel Technology and allow you to install a total memory capacity of 8 GB.

Attention
It is recommended that to install memories which are identical specifications (same timing specifications and same DDR II speed) to achieve the best effects. It may cause the failure of power-on or lower memory speed if installing different type, SPD (series presence detects) memories.

Mainboard nForce 650i Ultra
How to enable Dual-Channel DDRII:
1. The mainboard provides Dual-Channel functionality for the four DIMM sockets. Enabling
Dual-Channel will significantly increase your data access rate than the before. DIMM0 and DIMM1 share one channel, and DIMM2 and DIMM3 share another channel.
2. To enable Dual-Channel, you need to install memories in different channels of DIMM
sockets. According to the definition by Intel, once one channel of the memory capacity is the same with the other channel, the Dual-Channel will be enabled then.
For example, if you install one 256 MB memory in DIMM0 and another in DIMM1 (256MB x 2 = 512MB), you must install a total of 512 MB memory in DIMM2 or DIMM3, so that the Dual-Channel can be enabled.
3. If you only need to install one memory, it is recommended to install it in DIMM0 or
DIMM1.
Memory Installation Steps:
1. Pull the white plastic tabs at both ends of the slot away from the slot.
2. Match the notch on the RAM module with the corresponding pattern in the DIMM slot.
This will ensure that the module will be inserted with the proper orientation.
3. Lower the RAM module into the DIMM Slot and press firmly using both thumbs until the
module snaps into place.

4. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining RAM modules.
