Motherboard Layout
The following diagram shows the relative positions of the jumpers, connectors,
major components and memory banks on the motherboard.
NOTE:
1) Be sure to check the cable orientation in order to match the coloured strip
to the pin 1 end of the connector.
2) When you start up the system, please wait for 5 seconds after you power
on AC.

CPU INSTALLATION
Please follow below steps to install the CPU.
1. Please turn off the power and unplug the power cord before installing the
CPU. Pull the lever up and away from the socket until it is at a 90 degree angle
to the motherboard.
2. Look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The gold arrow should point away from
the lever pivot. The CPU can only sit properly in the socket in the correct
orientation.
3. If the CPU is correctly seated, the pins should be completely embedded in
the socket and can not be seen (Please note that any deviation from the correct
installation procedures may cause permanent damage to your motherboard).

19
4. Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU
is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with
your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is
properly and completely seated in the socket.
5. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and
a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the
heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them
before turning on the computer.

2. Installing DDRII DIMMs
Please follow the steps below to install DDRII DIMMs.
a. Locate the DDRII DIMM sockets.
b. Holding the DDRII DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
c. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the
socket.
d. Position the DDRII DIMM above the socket. Align the small notch in
thebottom edge of the DDRII DIMM with the key in the socket.
e. Insert the bottom edge of the DDRII DIMM into the socket.
f. When the DDRII DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DDRII
DIMMuntil the retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into
place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place.
Note: Please turn the system off before installing or removing any device,
otherwise system damage can occur.
