Voltage SelectorVoltage Selector

The switching power supply that came with the system has a voltage selector switch below the power socket. Use this switch to select the appropriate voltage according to the voltage supply in your area.

If the voltage supply in your area is 100-127 V, set the switch to 115 V.

If the voltage supply in your area is 200-240 V, set the switch to 230 V.

Setting the switch to 115 V in a 230 V environment will seriously damage the system!

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 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.

2.3 Removing the side plates and front cover

The system has two chassis side plates, each one secured by two screws located on the rear panel.

To remove the chassis side plate:

1. Locate two screws on the side plate. Turn each screw counterclockwise to release the side cover. Set the screws aside.

2. Slide the side panel for about half an inch toward the rear until it disengages from the chassis.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove the other side plate.

2.4 Installing a CPU

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

• 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.

•

Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the 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.

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

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).

5. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom-left corner of the socket. The socket alignment key should fit into the CPU notch.

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!

Installing the CPU fan and heatsink

Installing the CPU fan and heatsinkInstalling the CPU fan and heatsink

The Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

•

When you buy a boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, the package includes 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 Intel® Pentium® 4 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 you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

To install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.

Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.

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.

2.5 Installing system memory

The system may come with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module(s) (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 4 GB system memory using unbuffered ECC or non-ECC PC2700/1600/2100 DIMMs.

DIMM_B2

184-pin DDR DIMM sockets

Make sure to use only identical, ASUS-certified memory modules. Visit www.asus.com for the latest Qualified Vendors List.

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.

• For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s) installed per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 + DIMM_B1 = DIMM_A2 + DIMM_B2).

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR Qualified Vendors List on the next page for details.

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 4 GB system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
