Hardware Setup CHAPTER HARDWARE SETUP ATTENTION !!! 1. Please refer to your processor installation or other documentation attached with your CPU for more de- tailed installing instruction. 2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect in- stallation may result in overheating and damage of your CPU.
65DRV 2-1 CPU INSTALLATION WARNING !!! • Make sure that +5V DCV and +3.3 DCV of your power supply are suitable for the processor. • Any attempt to operate the PIII or Celeron processor without a suitable cooling Fan will damage processor and other component. Pull out the lever from the socket, and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Hardware Setup 2-2 MEMORY INSTALLATION WARNING!!! • Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your mainboard and expansion cards. • Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM. Forcing a DIMM in or out of a socket improperly may damage the memory module or the socket.
