2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.1 Overview
ThemotherboardcomeswithasurfacemountLGA775socketdesignedforthe
Intel®Mainstream/ValueFMBprocessorinthe775-landpackage.
2.2 Installing the 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.
5. Position the CPU over the
socket,makingsurethat
the gold triangle is on the
bottom-leftcornerofthe
socketthentthesocket
alignment key into the
CPU notch.

• Thismotherboard supportsIntel® Mainstream/ValueFMB processorin the
775-landpackagewithHyper-ThreadingTechnology.
• Hyper-ThreadingTechnologyissupportedunderWindows®XP/2003Server/
VistaandLinux2.4.x(kernel)andlaterversionsonly.UnderLinux,usethe
Hyper-Threadingcompilertocompilethe code.Ifyouareusing anyother
operating systems, disable the Hyper-Threading Techonology item in the
BIOStoensuresystemstabilityandperformance.
• Installing Windows®XPServicePack1orlaterversionisrecommended.
• MakesuretoenabletheHyper-ThreadingTechnologyiteminBIOSbefore
installingasupportedoperatingsystem.
• FormoreinformationonHyper-ThreadingTechnology,visitwww.intel.com/
info/hyperthreading.
TousetheHyper-ThreadingTechnologyonthismotherboard:
1. Install an Intel®Intel®Mainstream/ValueFMBprocessorthatsupportsHyper-
ThreadingTechnology.
2. PowerupthesystemandentertheBIOSSetup.UndertheAdvancedMenu,
makesurethattheitemHyper-ThreadingTechnologyissetto[Enabled].
TheitemappearsonlyifyouinstalledaCPUthatsupportsHyper-Threading
Techonology.
3. Rebootthecomputer.
6. Closetheloadplate(A),then
pushtheloadlever(B)untilit
snaps into the retention tab.
7. Ifinstallingadual-coreCPU,
connect the chassis fan cable
to the CHA_FAN1 connector to
ensuresystemstability.

3. System memory
ThemotherboardcomeswithfourDoubleDataRate2(DDR2)DualInlineMemory
Module(DIMM)sockets.
ADDR2modulehasthesamephysicaldimensionsasaDDRDIMMbuthasa
240-pinfootprintcomparedtothe184-pinDDRDIMM.DDR2DIMMsarenotched
differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
ThefollowinggureillustratesthelocationoftheDDR2DIMMsockets.
3.1 Memory congurations
Youcaninstall512MB,1GB,and2GBDDR2SDRAMDIMMsintotheDIMM
socketsusingthememorycongurationsinthissection.
• InstallingDDR2DIMMsotherthantherecommendedcongurations
maycausememorysizingerrororsystembootfailure.Useanyofthe
recommendedcongurationsonthenextpage.
• Install only identical(thesametypeandsize)DDR2DIMMpairsusingthe
recommendedcongurations.
• MakesurethatthememoryfrequencymatchestheCPUFSB(FrontSide
Bus).RefertotheMemoryfrequency/CPUFSBsynchronizationtableon
the next page.
• Thismotherboarddoesnotsupportdouble-sided16-bitDDRDIMMs.
• Donotcreateathree-DIMMcongurationindual-channelmode.Thethird
DIMMisignoredinthedual-channeloperation.
