To install a CPU, locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown on the previous page. The notched corner should point toward the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force is required to insert the CPU. Press the lever to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-4 Install Memory

This motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) slots for DDR memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 4.0GB DDR SDRAM.

For Dual Channel Memory

Dual channel only operates when 2 DIMM Modules are plugged into either DIMM1 & DIMM3 or DIMM2 & DIMM4, or four DIMM Modules are plugged into DIMM1~DIMM4.

DIMM1 & DIMM3, or DIMM2 & DIMM4 must be the same type, same size, and same frequency for dual channel to function.

Note: Computer will not boot if RAM is in 3 and 4 only.

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer to the following page to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/DDR333/ DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks like.
