ACP-GM45DS Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labelled CPU_FAN1. Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors.
Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard. Refer to the documentation in the boxed or stand-alone CPU fan package for detailed information on CPU fan installation. ACP-GM45DS...
ACP-GM45DS 1.5 System Memory 1.5.1 DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with two 200-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SODIMM sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 200-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization table. Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization CPU FSB DDR 2 DIMM Type Memory Frequency 533/800MHz DDR2 667 Max clock Freq: 333MHZ; 667Mb/s DDR2 800 Max clock Freq: 400MHZ; 800Mb/s ACP-GM45DS...
ACP-GM45DS 1.5.3 Installing a DDR2 DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. Locate the DIMM socket on the board.
Press the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the ejector tabs. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. ACP-GM45DS...
