1.Installing the Desktop Board
WARNING
Only qualified
technical personnel should do this procedure. Disconnect the computer
from its
power source before performing the procedures described here. Failure to disconnect the power
before you open the computer can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Figure shows the location of the 11 mounting holes for Desktop Board D865GBF(as we are
using Desktop Board D865GBF). Desktop Board D865GLC has eight mounting holes.

2.Installing
a Processor
CAUTION
Before
installing or removing the processor, make sure that AC power has
been removed by
unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not be lit (see
Figure 2 on page 24). Failure to do so could damage the processor and the board.
a. Installing a
Processor
To install a
processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the precautions in "precautions-in-installing-and-replacing". (just click on skip
this add on the right-top corner to proceed.)
2. Locate the processor socket and raise the socket lever completely.
3. Install the processor so that the corner with the triangle marking (A) is aligned with the
corner where the lever is attached to the socket (see Figure 2.
4. Lower the lever to its original position.

b. Installing
the Processor Fan Heat Sink
Desktop Board
D865GBF/D865GLC has an integrated processor fan heat sink retention
mechanism (RM). For instructions on how to install the processor fan heat sink to the
integrated processor fan heat sink RM, refer to the boxed processor manual or the Intel
World Wide Web site at:

3.Connecting
the Processor Fan Heat Sink Cable
Connect
the processor fan heat sink cable to the processor fan connector (see
Figure 3).

4.Installing
Memory
CAUTION
To
be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory
specifications, the boards
require DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. You can access
the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification at:
require DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. You can access
the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification at:
Desktop Board D865GBF/D865GLC has four dual channel 184-pin DIMM sockets arranged as
DIMM 0 and DIMM 1 in both Channel A and Channel B, as shown in Figure 4 (color was
added to the DIMM sockets to show how to match DIMMs for dual channel configuration).

5.Installing an AGP Card (if available)
CAUTION
When installing any AGP card in the desktop board, ensure that it is fully seated in the AGP
connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the AGP connector,
an electrical short may result across the AGP connector pins. Depending on the over-current
protection of the power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged.
The
AGP connector supports 0.8 V (4x and 1x) and 1.5 V (8x) AGP cards.
The desktop board
has an integrated AGP card retention mechanism (RM).
has an integrated AGP card retention mechanism (RM).
Follow
these instructions to install an AGP card:
2. Place the card in the AGP connector.
3. Press down on the card until it is completely seated in the AGP connector and the card
retention notch snaps into place around the RM pin.
4. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

6.Connecting the IDE Cable
The two IDE cables support the Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 transfer protocols. Each of
the cables can connect two drives to the desktop board. Figure 6 shows the correct
installation of the cable.
NOTE
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer
protocols. If an ATA-66/100 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
NOTE
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:
• Attach the cable end with the single connector to the Intel desktop board (A).
• Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives (B).

7.Connecting
the Serial ATA Cable
The
SATA cable (4-conductor) supports the Serial ATA protocol and
connects a single drive
to the desktop board. Either end of the cable can be connected to the SATA drive or the
connector on the board (see Figure 7).
to the desktop board. Either end of the cable can be connected to the SATA drive or the
connector on the board (see Figure 7).
For
correct cable function:
2. Attach either cable end to the connector (A) on the board.
3. Attach either cable end to the connector (B) on the drive.
