Chapter 1: Product Introduction |
1.4 Before You Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
•Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• 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.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

|||||||||||||||||
1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the
Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D Processors.
•Your boxed Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D /
Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D Processors package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/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 pins resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/ loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
1.6.1 Installling the CPU
To install a CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU.
3.Lift the load lever in the direction of the arrow to a 135º angle.
4.Lift the load plate with your thumb and forefinger to a 100º angle (A), then push the PnP cap from the load plate window to remove (B).

The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
The motherboard supports Intel® LGA775 processors with the Intel® Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST), and Hyper Threading Technology.
If you install a dual-core CPU, make sure to connect the chassis fan cable to CHA_FAN connector for system stability.

1.6.2 Installling the CPU heatsink and fan
The Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D Processors require a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
•Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan
and heatsink assembly
•When you buy a boxed Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D LGA775 processor, the packageincludes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel® certified multi directional heatsink and fan.
•Your I Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 /
Celeron® D LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.

1.6.3 Uninstalling the CPU heatsink and fan
To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard.
2.Rotate each fastener counterclockwise.
3.Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
