No force require to insert of the CPU, then press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force. 2-4 Install Memory This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 3.0GB DDR SDRAM.
WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC2100-compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not PC266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability. 2-5 Expansion Cards WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components.

Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual. 4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b.
Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
