Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB,
and 4GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation.
Use the following the recommendations for installing memory.
One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.
Two DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1 and 3.
Four DIMMS: If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the
DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.
1.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2.
Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM slot. The
plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.
Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the chassis you are using and if you
are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier
to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections.
It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the chassis.
Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency transmissions, protects
internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press the I/O shield
into place and make sure it fits securely.
