Hardware Installation Process To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Set System Jumper (JP1) Step 2- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 3- Install Memory Modules Step 4- Install Expansion Cards Step 5- Install I/O Peripherals Cables Step 5 Step 4 Step 1: Set System Jumper (JP1)
Step 2: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage.
Step 3: Install Memory Modules Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets.
Step 4: Install AGP Card 1. Read the relate AGP card's instruction document before install the AGP card into the computer. 2. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X/8X(1.5V). 3.
