Quick Install Guide
for AMD based Motherboards
Before Installation
•Verify your PNY motherboard has come with all necessary components (cables, driver CD, etc).
•Ensure your motherboard chassis supports your PNY motherboard. Please refer to your case’s documentation for additional help.
•Motherboards and other computer components are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge. See the manual on the included driver CD on safety tips to keep your components safe from this risk.
Installing the CPU
•Lift up the locking mechanism located next to the socket.
•Ensure the arrow on the CPU matches the arrow on the socket.
•Return the locking mechanism to its original position.
•The CPU requires its own cooling solution. Please refer to the manual that came with your CPU cooling solution for installation instructions.
Installing the Memory
•Your PNY motherboard comes with two DDR2 DIMM slots. At least one DIMM slot needs to be occupied for correct operation.
•Insert the module with the gold pins facing down into the memory slot on the motherboard.
oIt is important to note that the memory module should be positioned in such a way that the notch on the memory module matches the notch in the module slot. See figure for additional help.
•Push the module down into the slot until the latches on the side make a “clicking” sound and lock the module into place.
•Repeat for any additional modules.
Installing a Graphics Card (Optional)
•The included motherboard supports one PCI Express 16x graphics card. Verify your graphics card is compatible with your PNY motherboard and refer to the manual included with your graphics card for detailed installation instructions.
