English Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 5- Setup BIOS software Step 6- Install supporting software tools Step 4 Step 1 Step 2 Step 4 Step 4 Step 1 Step 3 Step 4 GA-8IR2003 Motherboard -8-
Step 1-1: CPU Installation Socket Actuation Lever Angling the rod to 650 1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to 2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly . 90-degree when a noise "cough" made. Pin1 indicator Pin1 indicator 3. CPU Top View 4. 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. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
English Step 1-2: CPU Heat Sink Installation 2. Hook the other end of the cooler 1. Hook one end of the cooler bracket bracket to the CPU socket. to the CPU socket first. Please use Intel approved cooling fan. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste.
The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets, but it can only support a maximum of 4 banks of DDR memory. DDR slot 1 uses 2 banks, DDR slot 2 & 3 share the remaining 2 banks. Please refer to the following tables for possible memory configurations supported. The BIOS will automatically detects 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.
English DDR 1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer. 2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer. 3.
