Chapter 1:
System introduction
Chapter 2
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to install components in the system.
Basic installation
2.1Preparation
Before you proceed, make sure that you have all the components you plan to install in the system.
Basic components to install
1.Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.DDR2 Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
3.Expansion card(s)
4.Hard disk drive
5.Optical drive
6.Floppy disk drive
Tool
Phillips (cross) screw driver
2.2Before 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.

2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Core™2/Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Pentium® Extreme and Celeron® D processors.
•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.
2.4.2 Installing
CPU
To install a CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.
2.Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU.

3.Lift the load lever in the direction of the arrow to a 135º angle.
4.Lift the load plate with your thumb and forefinger to a 100º angle (4A), then push the PnP cap from the load plate window to remove (4B).

5.Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom left corner of the
socket. Fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch.

6.Apply Thermal Interface Material on the CPU before closing the
load plate.
DO NOT eat the Thermal Interface Material. If it gets into your eyes or touches your skin, make sure to wash it off immediately, and seek professional medical help.
7.Close the load plate (A), then
push the load lever (B) until it |

snaps into the retention tab. |

2.4.3 Installing
the CPU fan and heatsink assembly
The Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
•When you buy a boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, the package
includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel® certified multi directional heatsink and fan.
•Your Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
2- |
Chapter 2: Basic installation |
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan: |
A |
1. Place the heatsink on top of the |
B |
installed CPU, making sure that |
B |
the four fasteners match the |
|
holes on the motherboard. |
A |
|
2.Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence
to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.

2.5Installing a DIMM
The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

DIMM B1 DIMM B2 |
P5B-VM |
112 Pins |
|
128 Pins |
240-pin DDR2 DIMM Sockets
2.5.1 Memory configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
•You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the highersized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
•If you install four 1 or 2GB memory modules, the system may only recognize less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows® XP 32-bit operation system which does not support Physical Address Extension (PAE).
•If you install Windows® XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.

Chapter 2: Basic installation |
Notes on memory limitations
•Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to 8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-533 and
DDR2-667 2 GB density modules are available for this configuration.

64-bit |

Windows® XP Professional x64 |

Edition |
|
•Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel®’s On Die Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value.
•Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.
•Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded to run at DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually. There will be 8MB reduction in total memory when enabling ASUS Thermostat function under Single Channel mode, and 16MB reduction under Dual Channel Mode.
•The total memory may has 8MB reduction under Single Channel mode, and 16MB reduction under Dual Channel mode because the address space is reserved for Intel® Quiet System Technology.

2.5.2 Installing
a DDR2 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.
2
1.Unlock a DDR2 DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
DDR2 DIMM notch
2. Align a DIMM on the socket |
1 |
such that the notch on the |
|
DIMM matches the break on |
|
the socket. |
1 |
Unlocked retaining clip
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.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the |

socket until the retaining clips |
|
snap back in place and the DIMM |
|
is properly seated. |
