Hardware Installation Process

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process

Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following

cautions:

1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent

irreparable damage.

2. Never force the processor into the socket.

3. Apply thermal grease on the processor before placing cooling fan.

4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

5. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause

improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

2.1. Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink

2.1.1. Installing CPU

Step 1 Raise the metal locking lever on the socket.

Step 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket.

Step 3 Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The CPU only fits in one orientation.

Step 4 Once the CPU is properly placed, please replace the metal cover and push the metal

lever back into locked position.

Hardware Installation Process

2.2. Installing memory modules

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory is supported by the motherboard. It is

recommended to use the memory with similar capacity, specifications and brand.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer

power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed

in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory

capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one

direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

Hardware Installation Process

Installation Steps:

Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down.

Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.

NOTE! DIMM must be populated in order starting from DIMMA1/D1 socket. For dual-channel

operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.

Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
