Installing Amd Socket Am2 Cpu Cooler Set; Installing Memory Modules - MSI K9NGM4 Series User Manual

Installing AMD Socket AM2 CPU Cooler Set

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan,
contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
Important:
Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the cooler installation for
Socket AM2 CPU only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the
model you purchase.
1. Position the cooling set onto the retention
mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook
first.
2. Then press down the other end of the clip to
fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention
mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it.
3. Fasten down the lever.
4. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU fan
connector on the mainboard.
Important:
While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the fixed bolt, it is necessary to keep an eye on
your fingers, because once the Safety Hook is disconnected from the fixed bolt, the fixed
lever will spring back instantly.

Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. You can
barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM
slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
Important:
DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 standard is not
backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in the DDR2
DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and
density in different channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1
first.
