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.

2.4 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.

• 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.

2.8 Installing an optical drive

The barebone system comes with two 5.25-inch drive bays for two optical drives.

• You may install a second optical drive only if you installed a Serial ATA hard disk drive.

• Set your second optical drive as Slave device before connecting the IDE cable and power plug. Refer to the optical drive documentation on how to set the drive as a Slave device.

To install an optical drive:

1. Place the chassis upright.

2. Locate the front panel cover hooks.

3. To remove the front panel cover from the chassis, press the top hooks downward and the bottom hooks upward to release them from the metal tabs that secure them in place.

4. Detach the front panel cover top hooks.

5. Slightly push the front panel cover outward until it detaches from the chassis, then set it aside.

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Re-install the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure.

ASUS EZ Flash utilityASUS EZ Flash utility

The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to go through the long process of booting from a floppy disk and using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).

To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:

1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for the motherboard and rename the same to

P5G6T.ROMP5G6T.ROM

P5G6T.ROM.

P5G6T.ROMP5G6T.ROM

2. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk, then restart the system.

3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.

4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file to the floppy disk drive. When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and automatically reboots the system when done.

• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot failure!

• A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no floppy disk in the drive. A “P5G6T.ROM not found!” error message appears if the correct BIOS file is not found in the floppy disk. Make sure that you rename the BIOS file to P5G6T.ROM.

Copying the current BIOSCopying the current BIOS

To copy the current BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility:

• Make sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and has at least 600 KB free space to save the file.

• The succeeding BIOS screens are for reference only. The actual BIOS screen displays may not be exactly the same as shown.

1. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.

2. Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type:

5.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the provided utility described in section updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the firmware hub.

The firmware hub on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del>

during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to

enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.

“

5.1 Managing and

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Default SettingsDefault Settings

Default Settings item under the Exit Menu. See section “5.7 Exit

Default SettingsDefault Settings Menu.”

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

• Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for this motherboard.
