instructions on how to install
components in the system.
Basic installation
2.1 Preparation
Before you proceed, make sure that you have all the components you plan
to install in the system.

6. Floppy disk drive
Too l
Phillips (cross) screw driver
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.
2-2 Chapter 2: Basic installation
2.3 Removing the side cover and front
panel assembly
1. Remove the cover screws on the rear panel.
2. Pull the side cover toward the rear panel until its hooks disengage
from the chassis tab holes. Set the side cover aside.
3. Locate the front panel assembly hooks, then lift them until they
disengage from the chassis.
4. Swing the front panel assembly to the right, until the hinge-like tabs
on the right side of the assembly are exposed.
5. Remove the front panel assembly, then set aside.

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4 .1 Ove rv ie w
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.
• 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 Ins ta ll ing C PU
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
Ret e n t ion t a b
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.

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®-certied
multi-directional heatsink and fan.
