Installing Memory Modules - MSI K9AGM4 Instruction Manual

1. Position the cooling set onto the retention
mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook
first.
2. Then press down the other end of the clip to
fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention
mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it.
3. Fasten down the lever.
4. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan
connector on the mainboard.
Important:
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan
can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape) between the
CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply
power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. You can
barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM
slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
Important:
DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 standard is not
backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in the DDR2
DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and
density in different channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1
first.
