Motherboard User’s Guide

D. Install the CPU on the socket

• Orientate CPU package to the socket.

Make sure you match triangle marker

to pin 1 location.

E. Close the load plate

• Slightly push down the load plate onto

the tongue side, and hook the lever.

• CPU is locked completely.

F. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.

G. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base

onto the CPU socket on the motherboard.

H. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the

CPU fan connector. Please refer to the

CPU cooling fan user’s manual for more

detail installation procedure.

Installing Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates two 240-pin DIMM sockets (Dual Inline

Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR2 667/533/400 memory modules (Double

Data Rate SDRAM), and maximum 2 GB installed memory.

Over its predecessor DDR SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM offers greater bandwidth

and density in a smaller package along with a reduction in power consumption.

In addition, DDR2 SDRAM offers new features and functions that enable a

higher clock rate and data rate operations of 400 MHz, 533 MHz and 667 MHz.

DDR2 transfers 64 bits of data twice every clock cycle.

Note:

1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you

use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink

installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink sup-

plied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.

3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the

motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
