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.
