Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation

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 DDR2 800/667 with dual-channel architecture, and maximum 4 GB

installed memory.

Over its predecessor, DDR-SDRAM, DDR2-SDRAM offers greater bandwith

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 800/667 MHz. DDR2 transfer 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 supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

Note 2: The fan connector supports the CPU cooling fan of 1.1A~2.2A (26.4W

max.) at +12V.

Note 3: Do Not remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.

Note 4: Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if

the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
