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 II 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 to
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. When lit,
this LED indicates 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.

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 pre-installed 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 LGA775 socket designed
for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

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.

• DO NOT replace the proprietary CPU fan and heatsink with other

models.

• Remove the memory modules first before removing the CPU fan

and heatsink assembly to avoid damaging the retaining clips of the
DIMM sockets. Refer to the next section for details on how to
remove the memory modules.

You must remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before installing a CPU.

To remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from
the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.

2. Loosen the CPU fan and heatsink
assembly screws.

3. Lift the CPU fan and heatsink
assembly, then set aside.

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.

2.6.3 Re-installing the CPU fan and
heatsink assembly

To re-install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly:

1. Position the CPU fan and heatsink

assembly on top of the installed
CPU.

2. Hold down the heatsink lightly and

twist each of the four screws with
a Philips (cross) screwdriver just
enough to attach the heatsink to
the motherboard. When the four
screws are attached, tighten them
one by one to completely secure
the heatsink.

3. Connect the CPU fan cable to

the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.

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.

• Re-install 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.

Follow these steps to install a DIMM.

1. Locate the DIMM sockets in the
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
socket.

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

A DDR II 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.
