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.

2.4Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket supporting Intel® processors in the 775-land package. This system is designed for Intel® Core™2 Duo Desktop processors (65W) and well verified. Any other processor family higher than 65W may trigger the CPU throttle protection.
•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).

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.
