Chapter 1: System introduction

Chapter 2

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

Basic installation

2.1 Preparation

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

Basic components to install

1.Central processing unit (CPU)

2.DDR memory module

3.Expansion card(s)

4.Hard disk drive

5.Optical drive

Tool

Phillips (cross) screw driver

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 that 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.

2.4 Removing the front panel cover

To remove the front cover:

1. Lift the front cover hooks outward until they disengage from the chassis.

2. Carefully remove the front cover, then set it aside.

2.5 Removing the storage drive assembly

Removing the storage drive assembly provides you more space when installing the CPU and the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

To remove the front cover and storage drive assembly:

1. Locate and remove three storage drive assembly screws. Keep the screws for later use.

If your system comes with a preinstalled optical drive, disconnect the power, audio, and IDE plugs at the back of the drive before lifting the storage drive assembly.

2. Slightly lift the storage drive assembly until its hooks are released from the chassis holes. Set the storage drive assembly aside.

When removing the storage drive assembly, make sure to hold or support it firmly. The assembly may accidentally drop and damage other system components.

Chapter 2: Basic installation

2.6 Installing a CPU

The motherboard comes with a surface mount 939-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket designed for AMD Athlon® 64 processor.

The 128-bit wide data paths of this processor can run applicatoins faster than procesors with only 32bit or 64-bit wide data paths.

Gold triangle

Take note of the marked corner (with gold triangle) on the CPU. This mark should match a specific corner on the socket to ensure correct installation.

2.6.1 Removing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly

The system package includes a pre-installed proprietary CPU fan and heatsink assembly to provide an efficient thermal solution to the CPU. You need to remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly to install the CPU.

To remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable.

2. Remove two screws securing the blower to the CPU fan. Set the blower aside.

3. Unhook and slide out the metal clips that secure the fan and heatsink assembly to the retention module.

1. Position the CPU fan and heatsink

assembly on top of the installed CPU.

2. Connect the CPU cable to the

CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

3. Align the metal clips to the side rail of

the CPU fan and heatsink assembly, with the locking levers in the reverse orientation.

4. Snap the hook of each metal clip into

the hole of the retention module.

5. Carefully press down the locking lever

and hook its end into the retention module.

6. Position the blower on top of the CPU

fan and heatsink assembly as shown.

7. Secure the blower to the CPU fan and

heatsink assembly with the screws you removed earlier.

Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connect.

2.7 Installing memory modules

2.7.1 Overview

The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets that support up to 2 GB non-ECC PC5300/4200/3200 DDR DIMMs.

Refer to the illustration below for the location of the DDR DIMM sockets.

DIMMA1

DIMMB1

184-pin DDR DIMM sockets

For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to section 2.7.3 for a list of qualified DDR vendors.

2.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR DIMMs to the DIMM sockets.

Chapter 2: Basic installation

2.7.4 Installing a 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.

• Reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before installing the DIMM(s) to avoid damaging the retaining clips of the DIMM sockets. Refer to the previous section for details on how to reinstall the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

To install a DIMM:

1. Locate the DIMM sockets in the

Unlocked retaining clip

motherboard.

2. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

3. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the

DDR DIMM notch

socket.

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