2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed forthe Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package with 1MB L2cache. The processor, built on the 90-nanometer manufacturingtechnology, supports 800MHz front side bus (FSB), Intel® HyperthreadingTechnology, and core speeds of up to 3.4GHz.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towardsyou and the load lever is on your left.

3. Lift the load lever in thedirection of the arrow.

Remove the cap only after the CPU is installed to prevent bending anddamaging the socket connectors.

4. Lift the load plate from thecorner with your thumb.

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the LGA775 socket onthe motherboard.

2. Press the load lever with yourthumb and move it to the leftuntil it is released from theretention tab.

5. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle ison the bottom-left corner of the socket. The socket alignment keyshould fit into the CPU notch.

The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU intothe socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket anddamaging the CPU!

6. Use both thumbs to carefullypush out the PnP cap from theload plate window.

7. Close the load plate, thenpush the load lever until itsnaps into the retention tab.

You can also remove the PnPcap by pushing out its topcorner.


3. System memory

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual InlineMemory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 4GB systemmemory using 184-pin unbuffered non-ECC 2.6V DDR SDRAM.

The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets.

Memory configurationsMemory configurationsMemory configurationsMemory configurationsMemory configurations

You can install 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR SDRAM DIMMs intothe DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Important notes on memory configurationsImportant notes on memory configurationsImportant notes on memory configurationsImportant notes on memory configurationsImportant notes on memory configurations

• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurationsmay cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any ofthe recommended configurations in Table 1.

• Install only i dent i ca l i dent i ca l i dent i ca l i dent i ca l i dent i ca l (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairsusing the recommended configurations.

• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB(Front Side Bus). Refer to Table 2 on the next page.

• This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.• Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The

third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMsor other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damageto both the motherboard and the components.

Follow these steps to install a DIMM.

1. Unlock a DIMM socket bypressing the retaining clipsoutward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket suchthat the notch on the DIMMmatches the break on thesocket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into thesocket until the retaining clipssnap back in place and the DIMMis properly seated.

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM inCMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and systemsetup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboardbutton cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which includesystem setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (Normal) to pins 1-2 (ClearCMOS). Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, thenmove the cap back to pins 2-3.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOSsetup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from thedefault position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

These connectors are for an ATX 12V power supply. The plugs fromthe power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only oneorientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until theconnectors completely fit.

In addition to the 24-pin ATXPWR connector, this motherboardrequires that you connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug to providesufficient power to the CPU.

Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12Vlead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimumrecommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system.The system can become unstable and might experience difficultypowering up if the power supply is inadequate.
