2.DDR Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
3.Expansion card(s)
4.Hard disk drive
5.Optical drive
2.2Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install components into
the system.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
The system motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This
LED lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off
mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet
and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before installing any
system component.
The ASUS motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket
designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

The system package includes a pre-installed proprietary CPU fan and
heatsink assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.Disconnect the CPU fan cable
from the CPU fan connector
on the motherboard.
2.Rotate each fastener
counterclockwise.

fan assembly from the
motherboard.
4.Carefully remove the heatsink
and fan assembly from the
motherboard.
5.Rotate each fastener
clockwise to ensure correct
orientation when reinstalling.

•Your boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the
retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match
the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
•
Check your motherboard to make sure that the socket contacts are
not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if you see any damage
to the socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
•The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation or removal.
To install a CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
3.Lift the load lever in the
direction of the arrow to a
135º angle.
2.Press the load lever with your
thumb (A), then move it to

1.Place the heatsink on top of the
installed CPU, making sure that
the four fasteners match the
holes on the motherboard.
Orient the heatsink and fan
assembly such that the CPU
fan cable is closest to the CPU
fan connector.

You may install up to 4 GB system memory using 256 MB, 512 MB, and
1 GB DDR DIMMs.
•Installing DDR DIMMS other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations in the table on the next page.
•Install only
identical identical
identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM in
identical identical
DIMM_A and DIMM_B.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor.
•Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR memory.
•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs
or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage
to both the motherboard and the components.
Follow these steps to install a DIMM.
1.Locate the DIMM sockets in the
motherboard.
2.Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing
the retaining clips outward.
3.Align a DIMM on the socket such
that the notch on the DIMM
matches the break on the socket.
A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

2.6Installing an expansion card
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The motherboard
has two PCI, one PCI Express™ x1, and one PCI Express™ x16 slot. The
following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they
support.
The system supports
x1 cards. You can only install low profile expansion cards on this system.
Ask your retailer for details.

To install an expansion card:
1.Lay the system on its side on a
flat and stable surface.
2.Lift the expansion card lock to a
90º-100º angle, then remove the
chassis support bracket.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage the motherboard.
3.Remove the metal cover opposite
the slot that you intend to use.

otherwise, install other
components before replacing the
chassis support bracket.
6.Replace the expansion card lock
to secure the card to the chassis.
