NOTE: During installation, observe the following:  Make sure to push the carrier frame with package towards the end of the rail frame until it clicks into place.
  • Page 28 Carefully close the rail frame with the installed package. Then push both edges of the rail frame firmly until it locks in place. Close the force frame. Then use a T20 Torx screwdriver to tighten the screws to secure the force frame in a sequential order (123). Align and install the CPU heatsink onto the top of the CPU socket.
  • Page 29 Use a T20 Torx screwdriver to tighten the heatsink screws. Connect the heatsink power cable to the mainboard connector. NOTE: Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor to ensure that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

  • Page 153: Glossary

    Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications.
  • Page 154 Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or ISA local buses. Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels).
  • Page 155 DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which looses data if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM. ECC (Error Correction Code or Error Checking and Correcting): allows data to be checked for errors during run-time.
  • Page 156 I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.) IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic request that runs from a hardware device to the CPU. The interrupt controller assigns priorities to incoming requests and delivers them to the CPU. It is important that there is only one device hooked up to each IRQ line;...
  • Page 157 RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored redundantly and multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system.
  • Page 158 Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called UltraATA. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives.

  • Page 159: Technical Support

    Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed by them and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains.
  • Page 160 NOTE: A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service can be rendered. You may obtain service by calling the manufacturer for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number Should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton and the package should be mailed prepaid.
