NOTE: Use SDRAM modules with PC100 or PC133 specification
when running 100MHz CPU bus speed. With 66MHz CPU
bus speed, SDRAM modules with PC66, PC100 or PC133
specification can be used. You have to install the Intel
Celeron or Pentium III processor before installing the
memory modules.

1. Align pin one (e.g., white dot) of the CPU with pin one of the
socket. Pin one of the CPU socket may either be marked on
the board or indicated by an arrow head symbol on one
corner of the socket. Normally, its diagonal corner
distinguishes pin one on the socket.
2. To complete the CPU installation, gently press the CPU into
place.
3. Double-check the insertion and orientation of the CPU before
applying power. Improper installation will result in permanent
damage to the CPU.
