contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA
- INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER
- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE RECEIVER
- CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN
NOTE:
Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B requirements, or
using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in harmful interference to radio or
television reception.
The user is cautioned that any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use

section are:
q Installing Memory Modules
q Installing the motherboard
q Installing the I/O Shield
q Connecting cables and setting switches
Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic safety precautions.
Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the AC main source before
removing or installing any equipment from/to the computer chassis.

Intel® NM10 series Motherboard
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support two 240-pin DDR2
800/667. The total memory capacity is 4 GB. You must install at least one module in any of the
two slots. Refer to the following recommendations to install the memory modules.
q One DIMM: Install it into slot 1 or 2. You can install the DIMM into any slot, however, slot 1
is preferred.
q Two DIMMs: Install them into slot 1 and slot 2
Note that a memory module has a notch, so it can only t in one direction. Refer to the following
procedure to install memory modules into the slots on the motherboard.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM
slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the
connector.

Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the chassis you are
using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty chassis. Deter-
mine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the mother-
board and then make all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard rst.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the chassis.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers
to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assem
-bly is aligned with the vents on the covers.
Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency transmis-
sions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airow
within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press the
I/O shield into place and make sure it ts securely. If the I/O shield does not t into the chassis,
you would need to obtain the proper size from the chassis supplier.
Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard
to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not
align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you remove that stud
to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In most cases, it is recommended to secure the
motherboard with spacers.
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the chassis.
2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan assembly
instruction.
5. Secure the motherboard with screws.

24-pin ATX Power Connector-PW1
PW1 is the main power supply connector. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are
properly aligned with the connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into
the connector and make sure it is secure.
4-pin ATX_12V power connector-PW2
PW2, the 4-pin ATX 12V power connection, is used to provide power to the CPU. Align the pins
to the connector and press rmly until seated.
