Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
W ARNING!
1.Unplug y our computer when working on the inside.
2.Use a grounded w rist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of y our hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the pow er supply case.
3.Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4.Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came w ith the
components w henever the components are separated from the sy stem.
5.Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is sw itched off before you plug in or remov e the ATX
pow er connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and
there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed y ou can still attach the spacers to
the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to
cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way y ou can still attach the motherboard to the base
without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate
the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be
careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the
fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

and up to 90-degree angle.
3. Press down the CPU socket
lever and finish CPU installation.
M Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU
upper corner. Then insert the CPU
into the socket.
M If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause
improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Hardware Installation Process
Step 2: Install memory modules
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches. Wrong
orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
The mo therboard has 4 dual inline memory module ( DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will auto matically d etects
memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket .The
DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.

Total Memory Sizes With Unbuffered DDR DIMM
Dev ices used on DIMM1 DIMM x 642 DIMMs x 64
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edge s of theDIMM
slots to lock the DIMM module.
4. When installing the memoryin the DIMM
module, please insert them pair by pair.
You must follow the slot number order to
insert the DIMM into DIMM module.
The installation number sequence are
DDR1/DDR3 -- DDR2/DDR4.
Please note that the pair of memorys are samesize.If you only insert one pair, you must insert
it in DDR1/DDR3 slot.
5. DIMMs must be populated in pairs, and the
DIMMs in a pair must be identical.
6. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to
remove the DIMM module.
DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a
high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs
and system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving th e system performance bottle neck by
doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM w ill offer a superior solution and migration path from
existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through readin g and writing at both the rising a nd falling edge of
the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock
frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build
high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, highend PC's and value desktop SM A systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts c ompared to
conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops
and notebook applications.

Hardware Installation Process
Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before install the expansion card into
the computer.
2. Remove your server’s chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6. Replace your computer’s chassis cover.
7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8. Install related driver from the operating system.
