2.1 Preparation

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

Basic components to installBasic components to install

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. 2. Unlock the load lever.

2.5 Installing a DIMM

The system motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

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.

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

To install a DIMM:

1. Unlock a 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.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

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

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.

5. If you have already installed a hard disk drive, replace the chassis support bracket; otherwise, install other components before replacing the chassis support bracket.

6. Replace the expansion card lock to secure the card to the chassis.
