4. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!
5. Carefully push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
6. Apply the thermal interface material (thermal grease) to the top of the CPU. This thermal grease should come with the CPU package.

The motherboard comes with eight Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets to support 240-pin DDR2 modules.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB registered ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the ASUS web site.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 16 GB system memory when you installed eight 2 GB DDR2 memory modules.
• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double-rank x16 memory modules.
• If you are installing only one memory module, install into the blue socket labeled DIMM_B4. Installing into any other socket will not work.

Installing a DIMMInstalling 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.
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 Hot-swap hard disk drives
To install a hot-swap 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.

5. Carefully insert the drive tray and push it all the way to the depth of the bay until just a small fraction of the tray edge protrudes.
When installed, the SCSI connector on the drive connects to the SCSI connector on the backplane. Refer to section “2.7.2 SCSI backplane” for illustration.
6. Push the tray lever until it clicks, and secures the drive tray in place. The drive tray is correctly placed when its front edge aligns with the bay edge.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 if you wish to install a second ,third and/or fourth drive.
