    Enter then the locking pegs pegs pegs in holes
Slide the card processor between the holder and press it to fit exactly into the hole slot.
3. Installing the HeatsinkThe function is to remove the heatsink heat generated by the processor through the conduction of heat from the processor to optimize heat transfer heatsink.Untuk the heatsink should be fitted tightly on the top of the processor with some clip as a drag while the heatsink contact surfaces coated conductor gene panas.Bila heatsink comes with fan the power connector on the fan connected to the fan connectors on the motherboard.

4. Installing the Memory ModuleMemory modules are generally installed sequentially from the smallest socket number. The order of installation can be seen from the diagram motherboard.Setiap the type of memory module SIMM, DIMM and RIMM can be contrasted with the position of the grooves on the sides and bottom of the modul.Cara installed for each type of memory module as follows.Type SIMM

    Adjust the position of grooves on the module with the tab in the slot.
    Enter the module by making an oblique angle of 45 degrees to the slot
    Push the module straight up in the slot, the locking lever on the slot will automatically lock the module.
Type DIMM and RIMMHow to install a DIMM and RIMM modules together and there is only one way that will not be reversed because there are two grooves as a guide. The difference DIMM and RIMM position curve

    Lay latch at the end of the slot
    adjust the position of grooves on the connector module with the tab in the slot. and insert the module into the slot.
    Latch automatically locks the module in the slot when the module is installed right.

 5. Installing the Motherboard in CasingMotherboard mounted to the chassis with screws and mounting (standoff). Installation means the following:

    Locate the mounting holes for each plastic and metal. Holes for mounting metal (metal spacer) is characterized by a ring on the edge of the hole.
    Attach metal or plastic holder on the tray casing according to the position of each corresponding mounting holes on the motherboard.
    Place the motherboard on the chassis so that the head holder tray out of the holes on the motherboard. Insert the locking screw on each metal holder.
    Attach frame port I / O (I / O sheild) on the motherboard if any.
