Installing CPU

The SI-58 (IB958 board) supports rPGA988B socket for Intel® Sandy Bridge Dual

Core mobile processors.

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As shown in the

left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting the processor. Place the

processor into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the CPU

corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the processor has slide

into the socket, fasten the screw. Refer to the figures below.

Installing the memory

The IB958 board supports two DDR3 memory socket for a maximum total memory of

8GB in DDR3 SO-DIMM memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the

following steps:

1.

Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligns with that on

the memory slot. Insert the module into the socket at a slight angle

(approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and module are both keyed,

which means that the module can be installed only in one direction.
