Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components Removing DIMMs To remove a DIMM, follow these steps: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer. 3. Remove the AC power cord from the computer. 4. Remove the computer's cover. 5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the DIMM socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket. 6. Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package. 7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the DIMM sockets. 8. Replace the computer's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. Connecting the IDE Cable The IDE cable can connect two drives to the Desktop Board. The cable supports the ATA-100 transfer protocol. Figure 9 shows the correct installation of the cable. NOTES ATA-100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive. Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device. For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive. For correct function of the cable: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23. 2. Attach the cable end with the single connector (blue) to the Intel Desktop Board (Figure 9). 3. Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (gray and black) to the drives. 29

Removing DIMMs
To remove a DIMM, follow these steps:
1.
Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23.
2.
Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer.
3.
Remove the AC power cord from the computer.
4.
Remove the computer’s cover.
5.
Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the DIMM socket.
The DIMM pops
out of the socket.
6.
Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an
anti-static package.
7.
Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the DIMM
sockets.
8.
Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.
Connecting the IDE Cable
The IDE cable can connect two drives to the Desktop Board.
The cable supports the
ATA-100 transfer protocol.
Figure 9 shows the correct installation of the cable.
NOTES
ATA-100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE
transfer protocols.
If an ATA-100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE
transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between
the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master
device.
For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI
CD-ROM drive.
For correct function of the cable:
1.
Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23.
2.
Attach the cable end with the single connector (blue) to the Intel Desktop Board
(Figure 9).
3.
Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (gray and black) to
the drives.
