  • Two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets
  • Supported DIMM types:
    • PC2-4200 (533 MHz)
    • PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
    • PC2-6400 (800 MHz)
  • Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
  • Supports 2GB DDR2 DIMMs
  • Supports up to 4 GB* on 32 bit PCs (using two 2 GB DIMMs)


NOTE: *Actual available memory may be less
Expansion slots
  • One PCI Express x16 graphics (for graphics cards)
  • One PCI Express x1 (for cards such as network, sound, tv-tuner)
Video graphics
  • Integrated graphics using GeForce 7100
    • One VGA port on backplate
  • Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards


NOTE: Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
Serial ATA
  • Two SATA connectors:
    • SATA1 = Black
      SATA2 = White

Clearing the BIOS settings
CAUTION: Do not change any jumper setting while the computer is on. Damage to the motherboard can result.
This motherboard has jumpers to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.
Clearing CMOS
To clear CMOS, follow these steps:
  1. Temporarily set jumper CLR_CMOS to pins 1-2.
  2. Wait 5-10 seconds and then return the jumper to pins 2-3.
  3. On the next startup, enter BIOS setup to reset any custom BIOS settings.
Clearing the BIOS password settings
The BIOS password is used to protect BIOS settings from unwanted changes. If the BIOS password has been forgotten, disable password checking to enter setup and change or erase the password.
To erase the BIOS password follow these steps:
  1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
  2. Locate the jumper labeled CLR_PSWD1.
  3. Move the jumper on jumper CLR_PSWD1 to pins 1-2.
  4. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
  5. Hold down the F10 key during the startup process and enter BIOS setup to change or clear the password.
  6. After changing or clearing the BIOS passwords, remember to reset the jumper to pins 2-3.
