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 cover

To remove the cover:

1. On the rear panel, locate the

three screws that secure the cover to the chassis.

2. Use a Phillips screw driver to remove the cover screws. Keep the screws for later use.

3. Slightly pull the cover toward the rear panel until the side tabs are disengaged from the chassis.

4. Lift the cover, then set aside.

2.4 Removing the power supply

You must remove the power supply unit (PSU) before you can install a central processing unit( CPU) and other system components.

To remove the PSU:

1. Lay the system on its side on a flat, stable surface.

2. Disconnect the optical drive and floppy disk drive power plugs.

3. Remove the screw that secures the PSU to the chassis.

4. Slide the PSU as the zoomed image shows, until the side hook is disengaged from the chassis.

5. Push the PSU towards the front panel for about half an inch.

6. Slightly lift the PSU.

7. Disconnect the power plugs on the motherboard, then set the PSU aside.

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

You must remove the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before you can install 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. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove and set aside the four screws that secure the fan and heatsink assembly to the motherboard.

3. Carefully lift the fan and heatsink assembly, and set it aside.

• 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.

•

Check your motherboard to make sure that the PnP cap is on the CPU 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 up to 2 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.

• Install only DIMM_A and DIMM_B.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2 GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR memory.

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