5. Push down the CPU into the Socket 478.
6. Rotate mark of screw-nut to face the "CLOSED".
7. Place the CPU cooling fan atop the CPU surface.

8. Push down the opposite side of the ZIF clip and hook it.
9. Connect the cooling fan cable to the socket as shown below. Be careful not to place the cable on the CPU cooling fan.

# Removing a CPU:

1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the power and wait for about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan and the CPU cools down.
2. Rotate mark of screw-nut to face the "OPEN".
3. To remove the CPU.

WARNING: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot and can cause burns.

# Heat Sink & Retention Module Installation

It is highly recommended that only the M-855 Heat sink and fan (Figure 4), designed for use in the chassis be used. The use of other heat sinks, including those boxed with CPUs, may damage the M-855.

Make sure that good contact is made between the processors and the heat sinks. Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or thermal compound used or improper amount of thermal compound applied on the CPU die can cause the processors to overheat, which may crash the system.

The Retention Module is used to hold up the weight of the Heat sink and fan.

# Memory Module Installation

Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM memory module.

DIMMs have 184 pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket.

Figure 6: Memory Installation

Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:

1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap before you touch the DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a malfunction.
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the M-855 and insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into the inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same procedure as above.
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both sides of the socket.

# Removing a DIMM:

To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it out of the socket.

Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag.

Only use the same size and manufacturer of memory modules.

# Setting Jumpers and DIP Switches

There are jumpers and DIP-switches on the M/B of the M-855 Series. The jumpers can be set for various operations.

![Abstract 3D geometric shapes arranged in rows with no text or symbols](.m-855-manual-3/4a4f86e6ca5911b136aba6f5c0a5f0ee00f0041c21f79cae2d21e07944836eaa.jpg)

Figure 7: Jumper Connector

For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 7), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the jumper connects pins 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pins 2 and 3 are connected. The numbers "1" and a "3" are printed on the circuit board to identify these pins. And also, there is a second way of indication – one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick, which indicates pin number 1.

To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired position.

# Award BIOS Setup

# 3.1 BIOS Instructions

Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.

It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which would cause data loss in the CMOS only. If that happens the BIOS settings would need to be reconfigured.

# 3.2 Main Menu

Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press &lt;Enter&gt; to accept and enter the sub-menu.

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.
