2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.
2.4 Installation of Memory Modules
This mainboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports
Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install
two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRII
DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single
channel mode.
To install system memory:
1. Power off the computer and unplug the
AC power cord before installing or
removing memory modules.
2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module
carefully, keep away from touching its
connectors.
4. Align the notch key on the module with
the rib on the slot.
5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot
automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra
force as the DIMM module only ts in one direction.
6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional
boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by touching a grounded metal object briey.
