2.4 <CPU and Memory Setup>
2.4.1 <CPU installation>
The board comes with the socket478 for Intel®Core 2 Duo/Celeron M socket-P processor
only it supports new generation of Intel®Core 2 Duo/Celeron M socket-P processor with
533/667/800MHz of front side bus and 4MB L2 cache. Please follow the instruction to install
the CPU properly.
1. Use the flat-type

2.4.2 <Memory installation>
FS-A71 has two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM support up to 3GB of memory capacity. The memory
frequency supports 533/667MHz. Only Non-ECC supported unbuffered memory is
supported only. Supports interleaved addressing in dual-channel memory configurations
even when the two channels have unequal amounts of memory populated. This is called
Intel®Flex Memory Technology. Flex memory provides higher performance with different
sized channel populations than “Asymmetric” mode (where no interleaving is used) by
allowing some interleaving.

Please check the pin number to match the socket side well
before installing memory module.
