DIMM Memory Installation Insert the module (s) as shown. Because the number pins are differ- ent on either side of the breaks,the module will only fit in the ori- entation as shown. SDRAM DIMM modules have different pin con- tacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density. 168 Pin DIMM Socket FAN1 JP13... - Page 16 The Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) memory module must be 3.3v SDRAM. You can identify the type of DIMM module by the illustration below: Unbuffered 5.0V Reserved Buffered 3.3V Voltage Key Position DRAM Key Position 168 Pin DRAM DIMM Notch Key Definitions The notch on the DIMM module will shift between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type to be inserted into the DIMM slot on the Mainboard.

The clearance above the processor must be at least 0.3 inch. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and fan heatsink must be at least 0.2 inch. -
Page 23: External Connectors
EXTERNAL CONNECTORS Both Ribbon cable and Connectors on board are with direction signs to avoid that user insert wrong direction. On other hand, the ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the pin 1 of side of the connector. MIDI/(GAME) Port Parallel (Printer) Port (25-pin Female) - Page 24 1. PS/2 AT Keyboard port This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN) . This connector will not allow standard at AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs. You may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards.
- Page 25 8. FAN1 , FAN2 CPU Cooling Fan (FAN1,2) These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAmp (6Watt) or less. Orientate the fans so that the heatsink fans allow airflow to go across the onboard heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different.

Page 60: Reset Configuration Data
Reset Configuration Data The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system needs to record which resource is assigned and proceeds resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. -
