Installing the CPU Fan
There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the
instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct
for your chassis type and your fan assembly.
Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots
support 256 Mb, 512 Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb DDR2 technologies. There must be at least
one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recom-
mendations for installing memory.

Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the
motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This
slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed
properly.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into
the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock
the DIMM into the connector.

you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an
empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this
step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally
easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into
the chassis.
Note:Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis
covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU
