1.Unhook the CPU socket’s locking lever by pulling it away from socket and raising it to the upright position. 2.Match the pin 1 corner of CPU socket to the one of processor, and insert the processor into the socket. Do not use force. 3.Push the locking lever down and hook it under the latch on the edge of socket.
4.3 Memory installation This mainboard supports DDR200/DDR266 DDR memory , you may install 64/128/256/512MB 184 pin DDR memory。DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMM used by SDRAM. Follow these instructions to install the Memory: 1.Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
4.4 IDE Devices Installation IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives, and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among othes. The mainboard ships with and IDE cable that can support one or two IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable, you must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the drives as Slave.
