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 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.

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® 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 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.

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

2.4 .3 Ins ta ll ing t he CP U f an a n d he a ts in k a ss em bly
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.

The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual
Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following gure illustrates the location of the sockets:
2.5 .1 Mem or y con fi gu rat io ns
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 conguration. 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
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.

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 conguration.
32-bit 64-bit
Windows® 2000 Advanced Windows® XP Professional x64
Server 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.

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.
1. Unlock a DDR2 DIMM socket
by pressing the retaining clips
outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket
such that the notch on the
DIMM matches the break on
the socket.
