SL-K8T-939FL Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.
For detailed installation instructions of processor, you can also refer
to the pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.
2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heatsink is a must for proper heat
dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with heatsink
for proper installation. Improper fan and installation will damage your
CPU.
3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable on
board, please follow the instructions described in the User Manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.

2-2 Memory Installation
• Make sure to unplug your Power Supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM in
a socket improperly will damage the memory module and slot.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.
• Dual Channel Memory Configuration is formed by couple of identical
DDR SDRAMs.
• Matched DIMMs need to have identical density, DRAM technology,
DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks.
• This series supports up to 4GB unbuffered Dual Channel DDR 400/
333/266 SDRAM, with 4 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert
other type of modules into these slots.
• The dual memory controller can double the DDR memory bandwidth
up to 6.4GB/s with DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333 and 4.2GB/s with
DDR266.

2-3 AGP Slot Installation
The AGP slot on board supports 1.
5V AGP 8X/4X card only. A Rib is
specifically added to the 8X/4X slot
so as to match the AGP 8X/4X card.
To insert a 3.3V AGP 2X card into
the AGP 4X slot will damage the
system chip and burn the 1.5V
circuitry.
An AGP 8X card will support a data
transfer rate up to 2GB/sec., while
an AGP 4X card will provide 1GB/
sec transfer rate.
AGP Accelerator

AGP 8X/4X Slot
• LED2 is designed on board to light
up as soon as DIMM slots are pow-
ered on
• When ever LED2 lights up, it indicats
that DIMMs are powered on and no
memory module should be removed
from or inserted into the DIMM slot.
• To remove or insert a memory
module, LED2 should not be on.
2-2.3 DIMM Powered on
LED2 on to indicate that DIMM
slots onboard are powered on.

2-4 IDE Connector Installation
To install IDE Connector, you may connect the blue connector of IDE
cable to the primary (IDE1) or secondary (IDE2) connector on board,
and then connect the gray connector to your slave device and the black
connector to your master device. If you install two hard disks, you must
configure the second drive to slave mode by setting its jumpers correctly.
Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.
ATA IDE connectors:
Orient the red line on the IDE
Flat Cable to Pin1.

2-8 ATX Power Supply Installation
ATX V2.03 Power Supply is strongly recommended for mainboard run-
ning with this mainboard.
To set up Power Supply on this mainboard:
1. Connect the on-board Main Power Connector (20-pin) to the Main
Power Connector (20-pin) of an ATX Power Supply which can be of
the latest version 2.03 model, and then connect the square-shaped
+12V Power Connector on board to the square-shaped +12V Power
Connector of the Power Supply.
Warning: Both the Main Power Connector and the +12V Power
Connector should be connected to Power Supply; otherwise, the
system may either not start or be damaged.
2. This ATX Power Supply should be able to provide at least 720mA/
+5V standby power for Wake On Lan function.
