2.4 System memory

2.4 .1 Ove rv ie w

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (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:

2.4 .2 Mem or y con fi gu rat io ns

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR2-533/667 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualiﬁed Vendors List on the ASUS web site.

• When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots (DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2).

• Three DDR2 DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will function in single-channel mode.

2.5 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

2.5 .1 Ins ta ll ing a n ex p an si on ca rd

To install an expansion card:

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

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.

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

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.

2.5 .2 Con fi gu rin g an e x pa ns io n c ar d

After installing the expansion card, conﬁgure it by adjusting the software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 4 for information on BIOS setup.

2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.

3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

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

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conﬂicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for details.

6. Ultr a 3 2 0 SC S I c onn e c t o r ( 6 8 - p in S C S I A1) This motherboard comes with the Adaptec AIC-7901X PCI-X U320

SCSI controller that supports one 68-Pin Ultra320 SCSI connector. The SCSI channel can support a maximum of 15 SCSI devices as speciﬁed by Ultra320 standards.

SCSI Connection Notes

This motherboard has a 68-Pin Ultra320 SCSI connector.

The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell that supports both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320 devices. With Ultra320 devices, the SCSI bus platform performs at full Ultra320 speeds (up to 320MB/s) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m in a point-to-point conﬁguration). When an SE device is attached, the bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.

Connect SCSI devices as speciﬁed. A SCSI channel should have only one type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra320, Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide). Mixing SCSI devices on a single channel decreases performance of the slower devices.

supports the SMBus function.

13. S S I power c onnector s (24-pin A TXPWR1, 8-pi n A T X12V 2 ) These connectors are for SSI power supply plugs. The power supply plugs

are designed to ﬁt these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down ﬁrmly until the connectors completely ﬁt.

• Use of an SSI 12 V Speciﬁcation 2.0-compliant power supply unit (PSU) that provides a minimum power of 450 W is recommended for a fully-conﬁgured system.

• By default, four ATX12V2 connector pins are covered to prevent incorrent insertion of a 4-pin ATX +12V power plug. Remove this cover when using a PSU with an 8-pin ATX +12V power plug.

• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin or 8-pin ATX +12 V power plug; otherwise, the system will not boot up.

• We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when conﬁguring a system with more power consuming devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.

• You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install additional devices.

3.1 Starting up for the ﬁrst time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.

2. Be sure that all switches are off.

3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.

4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

5. Turn on the devices in the following order:

a. Monitor b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain) c. System power

6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case lights up. For systems with ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power button. If your monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a “power standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green after the system LED turns on.

The system then runs the Power-On Self-Test (POST). While the tests

are running, the BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.

7. At power on, hold down the <Del> key to enter the BIOS Setup. Follow the instructions in Chapter 4.
