We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards….etc. GA-8LD533 Series Motherboard - 6 Introduction English - 7 - RTL8101L* AUX_IN IR F_USB1 DIMM_LED CLR_CMOS *For GA-8LD533 only GA-8LD533 Series Motherboard Layout GA-8LD533 KB_MS COMA GAME LPT LINE_IN MIC_IN LINE_OUT USB/ LAN* ATX_12V CD_IN F_AUDIO F_PANEL BAT1 SYS _FAN ICH4 Intel 845GL SOCKET478 CPU_FAN ATX_POWER FDD IDE2 PCI1 PCI2 PCI3 DDR2 DDR1 AC97 ITE8712 BIOS Buzzer F_USB2 CI VGA IDE1 COM B PWR_LED GA-8LD533 Series Motherboard - 8 - English To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process Congratulations you have accomplished the hardware installation! Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet. Continue with the BIOS/software installation. Step 2 Step4 Step3 Step 4 Step 4 Step1 Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 1-1: CPU Installation Angling the rod to 650 1.Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to 90-degree when a noise “cough” made. Socket Actuation Lever 2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly. Pin1 indicator Pin1 indicator 4.Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Then insert the CPU into the socket. 3. CPU Top View • .......... Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. • .......... If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. English -9 -Hardware Installation Process EnglishEnglish Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation 1. Hook one end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket first. 2.Hook the other end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket. • ..........Please use Intel approved cooling fan. • ..........We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.) • ..........Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes the installation. • ..........Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation procedure. GA-8LD533 Series Motherboard - 10 Step 2: Install memory modules The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets. Total Memory Sizes With Unbuffered DDR DIMM Devices used on DIMM 1 DIMM x 64 / x 72 2 DIMMs x 64 / x 72 64 Mbit (2Mx8x4 banks) 128 MBytes 256 MBytes 64 Mbit (1Mx16x4 banks) 32 MBytes 64 MBytes 128 Mbit(4Mx8x4 banks) 256 MBytes 512 MBytes 128 Mbit(2Mx16x4 banks) 64 MBytes 128 MBytes 256 Mbit(8Mx8x4 banks) 512 MBytes 1 GBytes 256 Mbit(4Mx16x4 banks) 128 MBytes 256 MBytes 512 Mbit(16Mx8x4 banks) 1 GBytes 2 GBytes 512 Mbit(8Mx16x4 banks) 256 MBytes 512 MBytes DDR 1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. 3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. • ..........When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket. • ..........Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. English -11 -Hardware Installation Process EnglishEnglish DDR Introduction Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and system integrators. DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling the...
