2.1 Preparation
Before you proceed, make sure that you have all the components you plan to install in the system.

1. Central processing unit (CPU)
2. DDR Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
3. Expansion card(s)
4. Hard disk drive
5. Optical drive
2.2 Before 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.

• 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 the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

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

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.
