5. Lower the CPU fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU and CPU socket, and then use the retention module clamps to snap the fan/heatsink into place. 6. Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU cooling fan power supply (CPUFAN1) on the mainboard. Installing Memory Modules This mainboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets, and supports up to 1.0 GB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM.
Installation Procedure These modules can be installed with up to 1 GB system memory. Refer to the following to install the memory modules. 1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM socket down. 2. Align the memory module with the socket. The DIMM sockets are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly. 3. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM socket. 4.
Jumper JP1: Clear CMOS Memory This jumper can clear the CMOS memory. You may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect that your mainboard can’t operate. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the power cables, and then move the jumper cap into the CLEAR setting for a few seconds. Function Clear CMOS Memory Normal Operation Jumper Setting Short Pins 1-2 Short Pins 2-3 Install the Mainboard Install the mainboard in a system chassis (case).
Connect the power connector from the power supply to the ATX_PWR connector on the mainboard. If there is a cooling fan installed in the system chassis, connect the cable from the cooling fan to the SYSFAN1 fan power connector on the mainboard. Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the SW1 header.
