5-5 Onboard Processor
The Intel Atom processor is soldered directly onto the motherboard. Installing and
removing the processor is not required. A small active heatsink sits on the proces-
sor to keep it cool.
5-6 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage.
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM1. Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent incorrect installation.
2. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat step 1 to install DIMM2 if needed. See diagrams on the following
page.
Memory Support
The X7SPE-HF supports up to 4GB unbuffered Non-ECC DDR2 667 in two DIMM
slots. Populating the memory slots with a pair of memory modules of the same
type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory
performance.
