2.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The system motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for Intel® Pentium® 4 or Pentium® D processor in the 775-land package.
•
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.

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR2-533/667 DIMMs to the DIMM sockets.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website for an updated DDR2 Qualified Vendors List for this motherboard.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, and depending on the number of expansion cards installed, the following conditions may occur:
- the system may detect less than 8 GB system memory when you installed four 2 GB DDR2 memory modules
- may show an available memory space of less than 4 GB when you installed four 1 GB DDR2 memory modules
• Three DDR2 DIMMs installed into any three memory sockets will function in Dual channel asymmetric mode.
• When installing a single or two DIMMs, install the modules on the blue slots (DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2). Refer to the recommended memory configuration table below.

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.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

• A DDR2 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.
• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

2.4 Hard disk drives
The system supports two hot-swap Serial ATA hard disk drives. The hard disk drive installed on the left tray connects to the motherboard SATA1 (Port0) port, while the right tray hard disk drive connects to the motherboard SATA3 (Port2) port via the SATA backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATA HDD:
1. Release a drive tray by pushing the spring lock to the right, then pulling the tray lever outward. The drive tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the drive tray out of the bay.
3. Take note of the drive tray holes. Each side has three holes to fit different types of hard disk drives. Use two screws on each side to secure the hard disk drive.
4. Place a SATA hard disk drive on the tray, then secure it with four screws.
