DDRSDRAMInstallationProcedures:
1.TheDDRsockethasa“PlasticSafetyTab”andtheDDR memory
module has an asymmetrical notch”, so the DDR memory mod-
ule can only fit into the slot in one direction.
2. Push the tabs out. Insert the DDR memory modules into the
socket at a 90-degree angle then push down vertically to fit
onto place.
3. The Mounting Holes and plastic tabs should fit over the edge
and hold the DDR memory modules in place.
1.5 DDR SDRAM Installation
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket then raise the
lever to a 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for the white dot or cut edge
in the CPU. Match Pin 1 with the white dot/cut edge then
insert the CPU.

3. Press the lever down to complete the
installation.
4. Make sure the spec of the cooling fan is
good enough.
5.Pleaselock the fan onCPUverycarefully,
or you will damage the resistor array even

1.6.1.3 Serial Interface Port: COM1/COM2
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-
232 port or an asynchronous communication port. Mice,
printers, modems and other peripheral devices can be
connected to a serial port. The serial port can also be used
to connect computer systems together . If you like to transfer
the contents of your hard disk to another system, it can be
accomplished with serial port.
1.6.1.4 Parallel Interface Port
Unlike serial ports, parallel interface ports have been
standardized. Sometimes called a Centronics port, the parallel
port is almost exclusively used with printers. The parallel port
on your system is a 25-pin, DB 25 connector.
1.6.1.5 Audio Port Connectors
Speaker out is a connector for Speakers or Headphones. Line-
in is used for external CD player, Tape player, or other audio
devices. Mic is a connector for the microphones.
