2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules

This mainboard provides two 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots (Intel945GC(V2.0) provides 4x) , and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip- type) memory modules in the DDRII DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional 2.4 Installation of Memory Modules boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static

electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.

To install system memory:

1. Power off the computer and unplug the Mounting NotchNotch Key AC power cord before installing or

removing memory modules.

2.Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3.Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from touching its

connectors.Rib

4. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.

5.Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.

6.To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

Dual-Channel Memory installation (For Intel 945GC(V2.0) Only)

The Intel 945GC(V2.0) includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel 1 : DIMM1, DIMM2

Channel 2 : DIMM3, DIMM4

The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table: (D: Double Side, S: Single Side, "--": Empty)
