[. . . ] Hardware Setup Hardware Setup This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. Also, it provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. [. . . ] Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet their own needs. Please note that each DIMM can work respectively for single-channel DDR, but there are some rules while using dual-channel DDR (Please refer to the suggested DDR population table on p. Users may install memory modules of different type and density on 2-7 MD-8088 M-ATX Mainboard different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, the same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may happen. Other combination not listed below will function as single-channel DDR. DIMM1 (Ch A) 128MB~1GB 128MB~1GB DIMM2 (Ch A) 128MB~1GB 128MB~1GB DIMM3 (Ch B) 128MB~1GB 128MB~1GB DIMM4 (Ch B) 128MB~1GB 128MB~1GB System Density 256MB~2GB 256MB~2GB 512MB~4GB MSI Reminds You. . . Dual-channel DDR works ONLY in the 3 combinations listed in the table above. Installing DDR Modules 1. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close. Volt Notch MSI Reminds You. . . You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly inserted in the socket. 2-8 Hardware Setup Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused. ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATX1 This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector. ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1 This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
