4. Match the Pin-1 corners and insert the processor into the
socket. No force is required and the processor should drop into
place freely.
5. Swing the locking lever down and hook it under the catch on
the side of the socket. This secures the CPU in the socket.
6. All processors should be installed with a combination
heatsink/cooling fan, connect the cable from the fan to the
CPU fan power connector CPUFAN.

Install Memory

The mainboard has two 168-pin/184-pin DIMM sockets for
SDRAM/DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
work the mainboard, either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you
cannot work them simultaneously.
SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer rate depending
on whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the rate to
1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the rising and
falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power
and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM
module reather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by
SDRAM.
For this mainboard, the maximum memory size is 1GB.
Follow these steps to install the memory modules:
1. Push down the retaining latches on each side of the socket.
