ATX Main board 1.4.3 Uninstalling the CPU Heatsink and Fan 1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard. 2. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise. 3. Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard 4. Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
User’s Manual 5. Rotate each fastener clockwise to ensure correct orientation when reinstalling. The narrow end of the groove should point outward after resetting. (The photo shows the groove shaded for emphasis.) Refer to the documentation in the boxed or stand-alone CPU fan package for detailed information on CPU fan installation.
ATX Main board 1.5 System Memory 1.5.1 DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
User’s Manual 1.5.2 Memory Configurations You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2GB unbuffered non‑ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. z z z z z You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency.
