User’s Manual 1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount 478-pin designed for the Intel® socket 479P Core Duo / Core Solo / Core 2 Duo CPU with 65nm process. Take one of the marked corner (with gold triangle) on the CPU. This mark should match a specific corner on the socket to ensure correct installation. z z Make sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.
EMX-965GME 1.4.1 Installing the CPU 1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you. 2. 18 The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor, please unlock the screw first.
User’s Manual 3. 4. 5. Position the CPU above the socket and the gold triangular mark on the CPU must align with pin 1 of the CPU socket. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place ‘Gold mark’. Turn the screw to the lock position. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU. After installation, make sure to plug-in the ATX power cable to the motherboard.
EMX-965GME 1.4.2 Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan The Intel® socket 479P Core Duo / Core Solo / Core 2 Duo CPU processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. z z Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. When you buy a boxed Intel® processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
User’s Manual 2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place. 3. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labelled CPU_FAN1. z z Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components, and hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors.
EMX-965GME 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. Refer to the documentation in the boxed or stand-alone CPU fan package for detailed information on CPU fan installation.
User’s Manual 1.5 System Memory 1.5.1 DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with two 200-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SODIMM sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 200-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
EMX-965GME 1.5.2 Memory Configurations You can install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB and 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the SODIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. z z z z z Installing DDR2 DIMM other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
User’s Manual 1.5.3 Installing a DDR2 DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 1. 2. 3. 4. Locate the DIMM socket on the board. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, and keep away of touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch.
EMX-965GME 1.5.4 Removing a DDR2 DIMM 1. Press the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the ejector tabs. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
User’s Manual 1.6 Expansion Slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub‑sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. 1.6.1 Installing an Expansion Card 1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
