Chapter 2 Installation P4i65GV is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 7.8-in, 24.4 cm x 19.8 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en- sure that the motherboard fits into it. Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com- ponents or change any motherboard settings.
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins. Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external connecting position with the PCI card installed in “PCI3” slot, you will no be able to install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card has already been installed in the AMR slot.
