A EN ION !!!
1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached to your CPU for more detailed
installing instruction.
2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary for
proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Incorrect in-
stallation may result in overheating and damage of
your CPU.
3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from BIOS
program, user SHOULD make sure of correct specifi-
cation both of CPU CLOCK and RA IO. Incorrect set-
ting may cause damage to your CPU.

65ME-T/ME+-T
WAR I G !!!
• Make sure that +5V DCV and +3.3 DCV of your power supply are suitable
for the processor.
• Any attempt to operate the Celeron or III processor without a suitable
cooling Fan will damage processor and other component.
2-1 CPU Installation
2-1.1 CPU Frequency
• The PU’s “ PU LO K RATIO” and “ PU HOST/P I LO K” settings
are automatically detected to be default value by BIOS in the “Frequency/
Voltage ontrol” section.
• We do not suggest and assume the responsibility for any action that
changes the PU default setting such as overclocking. Incorrect
LO K RATIO and HOST/P I LO K settings may cause damage
to your PU.
Pull out the lever from the socket,
and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.

SOCKE 370
Take notice of the red circles
as shown here. While inserting
the PU into the socket, you
can find out there is a definite
pin orientation for PU and
socket.
2
SOCKE 370
Make sure that the PU is
placed into the socket tightly.
Then lower down the lever to
complete the PU installation.

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
Removing DIMM
• Press down the holding clips on both sides of a DIMM socket and the
module will be released from it.
Installing DIMM
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.
• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 168-pins and two
notches that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory
modules are installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they
“click” in the right place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force
them in by a wrong direction.
WARNING!!!
• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing memory
modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to both your mainboard and expansion cards.
• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM. Forcing a DIMM in or out
of a socket improperly may damage the memory module or the socket.
Some DIMMs which contain EDO or F M DRAM are incompliant with
the mainboard. The M/B supports 3.3V true SDRAM DIMMs only.
