2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules

This mainboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports

Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install

two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRII

DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single

channel mode.

To reach the performance of Dual Channel DDR2, the following rules must be obeyed:

For 2-DIMM dual-channel installation:

Populate DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DDR1]+[DDR2], or slots

[DDR3]+[DDR4] (for nVIDIA N61(V2.0) Only).

For 4-DIMM dual-channel installation: (for nVIDIA N61(V2.0) Only)

Populate 2 DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DDR1]+[DDR2], and

another 2 DIMM modules of the same type and size on slots [DDR3]+[DDR4] .

[DDR1] and [DDR2] slots are made of the same color.

[DDR3] and [DDR4] are made of another same color.

To install system memory:

1. Power off the computer and unplug the

AC power cord before installing or

removing memory modules.

2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.

3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module

carefully, keep away from touching its

connectors.

4. Align the notch key on the module with

the rib on the slot.

5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot

automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra

force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.

6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward

simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional

boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static

electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.
