3. On the Socket-7, identify the Pin-1 corner. The Pin-1 corner is
at the end of the locking lever when it is locked.

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/

Install Memory

The mainboard has two DIMM sockets for system memory
modules. You must install at least one memory module in order to
use the mainboard.
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin, 3.3V unbuffered
SDRAM memory modules. If the installed CPU uses a 100 MHz
system bus, you must use PC100 memory. If the installed CPU
uses a 66 MHz system bus, you must use PC66 memory. You can
install any size memory module from 16 MB to 512MB, so the
maximum memory size is 2 x 512MB = 1GB.
The edge connectors on the memory modules have cut outs, which
coincide with spacers in the DIMM sockets so that memory
modules can only be installed in the correct orientation.
