CPU Fan and System Fan: CPUFAN and SYSFAN

The CPU_FAN (CPU fan) and SYS_FAN (system fan) run on +12V and

maintain system cooling. When connecting the wire to the connectors,

always be aware that the red wire (positive wire) should be connected to

the +12V. The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to

GND.

Memory Slot: DDR2 DIMM

The VIA NAS 7800 mainboard provide one 240-DIMM slots for DDR2

667/533/400 SDRAM memory modules and supports memory sizes up

to 1GB.

DDR2 SDRAM Module Installation Procedures

• Locate the DIMM slot in the motherboard.

• Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

• Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the slot.

• Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

Connecting the Power Supply

The VIA NAS 7800 mainboard supports a conventional ATX power

supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply

connector, always make sure that all components are installed correctly

to ensure that no damage will be caused.

ATX 20-Pin Power Connector

To connect the power supply, make sure the power plug is inserted in

the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the

plug firmly into the connector.
