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. you may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below. 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). This motherboard does not support three or four above memory modules. Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. If you have installed Intel® VGA driver from our support CD to your system already, you can freely enjoy the benefits of DVI-D output function with this motherboard after your system boots. If you haven't installed Intel® VGA driver yet, please install Intel® VGA driver from our support CD to your system and restart your computer. Then you can start to use DVI-D output function with this motherboard. [. . . ] This motherboard adopts Intel® ICH7 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks. STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. [. . . ]
