Appendix A Quick Installation
Appendix A will give you a simplified installation procedure, in order to
allow you to install your mainboard quickly and correctly.
If you need further information or if you need to change some other settings,
begin reading from Chapter 1.
Lift up the lever of the CPU socket, insert your
CPU into the socket, and lower the lever back in position. Don’t worry, if you
don’t remember the correct orientation, you will not be able to insert the CPU if
it is wrong.
Make sure the CPU parameters
in the CPU SOFT MENU™ of the BIOS SETUP according to your CPU
voltage and speed. For information about your CPU, refer to appendices B, C or
D, and to the information labeled on the CPU itself.

SIMM1 ~ SIMM4, DIMM1 ~ DIMM2 (TX5N)
Since Pentium are 64-bit CPUs, you have to use two 72-pin DRAM modules, or
one 168-pin DRAM module. Install the module according the scenarios below:
Scenario 1: Two identical 72-pin DRAM modules. Take the DRAM module
and insert into the SIMM 1 and SIMM2 slots.
Scenario 2: Four identical 72-pin DRAM modules. Take the DRAM module
and insert into the SIMM 1, SIMM2, SIMM3 and SIMM4 slots.
Scenario 3: If you have 4 DRAM modules, but only two are identical, insert
the two identical modules into the SIMM1 and SIMM2 slots.
Insert the other two modules into the SIMM3 and SIMM4 slots.
For other assembly, refer to Chapter Two, Installing System Memory.
