It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1 GHz and faster. X7SLM-L accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the speciﬁ cations required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
Page 20: Super I/O
X7SLM-L User’s Manual Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with I/O devices.
Page 21: Chapter 2 Installation
Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Page 22: Tools Needed
X7SLM-L User's Manual Motherboard Installation All motherboards have standard mounting holes to ﬁ t different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas- teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis.
Page 23: Installation Instructions
Chapter 2: Installation Caution: To avoid damaging the motherboard and its components, please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting screw during motherboard installation. Installation Instructions Install the I/O shield into the chassis. I/O Shield Locate the mounting holes on the motherboard.
Page 24: Processor And Heatsink Installation
X7SLM-L User's Manual Processor and Heatsink Installation Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add- ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU LGA 775 socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
Page 25 Chapter 2: Installation Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate. Use your thumb and your index ﬁ nger to hold the CPU at the top center edge and the bottom center edge of the CPU. North Center South Center Edge Align CPU Pin1 (the CPU corner marked with a triangle) against the socket corner that is marked with a triangle cutout.
Page 26 X7SLM-L User's Manual Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket to avoid damage to the CPU or the socket.) With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.

Page 28: Installing A Passive Cpu Heatsink
X7SLM-L User's Manual Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the required amount has already been applied. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket under- neath.
Page 29: Removing The Heatsink
Chapter 2: Installation Removing the Heatsink Warning: We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instruc- tions below to uninstall the heatsink to prevent damage done to the CPU or the CPU socket.
Page 30: Installing Ddr2 Memory
Repeat step 1 to install DIMM1B if needed. Memory Support The X7SLM-L supports up to 2GB Unbuffered Non-ECC DDR2 667/533/400 in 2 DIMM slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
Page 31 Chapter 2: Installation DDR2 Slot Position the DIMM module's bottom key so it aligns with the receptive point on the slot. Notches Release Push the Lock/Release tabs to their Release po- sitions. Make sure that the DIMM module's side notches align with the slot's Lock/ Release Release tabs as it is pressed in.
