If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard, you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components. On most mainboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed. Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the mainboard and processor socket. Before installing the Processor This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these automatic settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed. Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits. This mainboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory. 16 CPU Installation Procedure The following illustration shows CPU installation components: Socket 426 CPU fan Pin A -1 corner Locking lever Follow these instructions to install the CPU: 1.

The memory chips must be standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). The memory bus can run at 100 MHz or 133 MHz. If your processor operates over a 100 MHz system bus, you can install PC100 or PC133 memory modules that operate over a 100 MHz or 133 MHz memory bus. If your processor operates over a 133 MHz system bus, you can only install PC133 memory modules that operate over a 133 MHz memory bus. Note: SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM. Installation Procedure 19 The mainboard accommodates two SDR SDRAM and two DDR SDRAM modules. You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each module can be installed with up to 1 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 4 GB. Refer to the following to install the memory modules. 1. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. 2. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly. 3.
