[. . . ] Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap): Use your left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in removal. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off the PnP cap. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after service. Secure load lever with load plate tab under retention tab of load lever. For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink. Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press down on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock. If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure cable does not interfere with fan operation or contact other components. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. Dual Channel Memory Configurations (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side) DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4 (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) 2 memory modules SS X SS X 2 memory modules DS X DS X 2 memory modules X SS X SS 2 memory modules X DS X DS 4 memory modules SS SS SS SS If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4). If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1 and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology . It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged. Recommended Memory Configurations (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side) DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4 (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) 1 memory module DS/SS* X X X 2 memory modules DS/SS X DS/SS X 2 memory modules X DS/SS X DS/SS 3 memory modules SS SS DS/SS X 4 memory modules SS SS SS SS * If you only install one memory module, you can install it to any one of the four slots. These two TRANSCEND memory modules can only be supported under the following conditions: DRAM SIZE TYPE VENDOR (MB) TRANSCEND 256 DDRII533 TRANSCEND 512 DDRII533 CELL CELL NO. If you plan to install one above memory module, you can install it to any DDRII slot of this motherboard. If you plan to install two above memory modules, it is recommended to install them either in the set of yellow slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4). Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. [. . . ] Though this motherboard provides 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) support, the 3-Pin CPU fan still can work successfully even without the fan speed control function. If you plan to connect the 3-Pin CPU fan to the CPU fan connector on this motherboard, please connect it to Pin 1-3. Please note that it is necessary to connect a power supply with ATX 12V plug to this connector so that it can provides sufficient power. Before installing SATAII hard disk to your computer, please carefully read below SATAII hard disk setup guide. [. . . ]
