Installing the Motherboard
CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you
use a high quality fan with 4800 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.
1 Unhook the locking lever of the CPU socket. Pull the
locking lever away from the socket and raising it to
the upright position.
2 Match the pin1 corner marked as the beveled edge
on the CPU with the pin1 corner on the socket. Insert
the CPU into the socket. Do not use force.
3 Push the locking lever down and hook it under the
latch on the edge of socket.
4 Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5 Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU, and
secure them all onto the socket base.
6 Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan
connector (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 240-pin
DDR2 1066 (AM2+)/800/667/533/400. The total memory capacity is 32 GB*.
DDR2 SDRAM memory module table
You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each module can be
installed with 8 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 32 GB*.
Memory module Memory Bus
DDR2 400 200 MHz
DDR2 533 266 MHz
DDR2 667 333 MHz
DDR2 800 400 MHz
DDR2 1066 533 MHz
The four DDR2 memory sockets (DDR2_1, DDR2_2, DDR2_3, DDR2_4) are di-
vided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
ff
Channel 0: DDR2_1, DDR2_2
ff
Channel 1: DDR2_3, DDR2_4
