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.

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU.

2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

7. Close the load plate (A), then push the load lever (B) until it snaps into the retention tab.

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.

2.4 .3 Ins ta ll ing t he CP U f an a n d he ats 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®-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.

2-7

ASUS Vintage V2-PE3

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:

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.

3. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard.

2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.

Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector.

2.5 Installing a DIMM

The motherboard comes with two 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) and two 184-pin DDR Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

DDR2 DIMMS are notched differently to prevent misplacement in DDR DIMM sockets.

The following ﬁgure illustrates the location of the sockets:

2.5 .1 Me m or y co n fi gu ra t io ns

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR/DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory conﬁgurations in this section.

To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not use DDR and DDR2 memory simultaneously.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR/DDR2 Qualiﬁed Vendors List on the next page for details.

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2 GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR or DDR2 memory modules.

4.3 Jumpers

1. Clea r R TC R A M (CLR T C ) 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 onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in the CMOS, which includes the system setup information such as system passwords.

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.

5.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable ﬁrmware chip that you can update using the provided utility.

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.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. 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 Load Optimized Defaults from the BIOS menu screen. See section “2.2 BIOS menu screen.”
