This chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to install components in the system.

Basic installation

ASUS P1/P2-P5945GC

2.1Preparation

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

Basic components to install

1.Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2.DDR2 Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)

3.Expansion card(s)

4.Hard disk drive

5.Optical drive

Tool

Phillips (cross) screw driver

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 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.

2.4Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

Check your motherboard to make sure that the PnP cap is on the CPU socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-related.

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

2.4.2 Removing the storage drive assembly

1.Lay the system on its side, then locate and remove three storage drive assembly screws.

2.Lift the storage drive assembly, then set aside.

2.4.3 Installing CPU

To install a CPU:

1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.

2-

Chapter 2: Basic installation

2.Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU.

To remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

1.Disconnect the CPU fan cable.

2.Loosen the CPU fan and heatsink assembly screws.

3.Lift the CPU fan and heatsink assembly, then set aside.

To reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

Reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly, then reconnect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

Refer to the figure below for the location of the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

2.5.1 Memory configurations

You may install up to 2 GB system memory using 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR2 DIMMs.

Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 memory

modules.

Install only ASUS-certified memory modules. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the next page for details.

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

2.5.2 Installing a DDR2 DIMM

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.

1.Unlock a DDR2 DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

2.Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the

DIMM matches the break on

 

the socket.

A DDR2 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.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips

 

 

snap back in place and the DIMM

 

 

is properly seated.

Chapter 2: Basic installation

2.6Expansion slots

This motherboard provides two PCI expansion slots, which locate on the PCI raiser card that is connected to its slot on the motherboard.

2.6.1 PCI slots

The PCI slots support cards such as a LAN card, SCSI card, USB card, another cards that comply with PCI specifications.

Before installing an expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

The length of the PCI card should be less than 150mm on the system.

2.6.2 Expansion card installation

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

1.Lift the PCI riser card assembly to remove.

2.Remove the metal cover opposite the slot that you intend to use.

3.Insert the card connector to the slot, then press the card firmly until it fits in place. Secure the card with a screw.

4.Reinstall the PCI riser card assembly. Make sure that the riser card connector sits properly on the motherboard PCI slot.
