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.

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,

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.

3.3 Removing a DDR2 DIMM
Follow these steps to remove a DIMM.
1. Simultaneouslypresstheretaining
clipsoutwardtounlocktheDIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
• ADDR2DIMMiskeyedwithanotchsothatittsinonlyonedirection.Do
not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
• TheDDR2DIMMsocketsdonotsupportDDRDIMMs.DonotinstallDDR
DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.
SupporttheDIMMlightlywith
yourngerswhenpressingthe
retainingclips.TheDIMMmight
getdamagedwhenitipsout
with extra force.

3.2 Installing a DDR2 DIMM
UnplugthepowersupplybeforeaddingorremovingDIMMsorother
systemcomponents.Failuretodosocancauseseveredamagetoboththe
motherboard and the components.
ToinstallaDIMM:
1. Unlock a 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.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socketuntiltheretainingclips
snap back in place and the DIMM
is properly seated.

4. Expansion slots
Inthefuture,youmayneedtoinstallexpansioncards.Thefollowingsub-sections
describetheslotsandtheexpansioncardsthattheysupport.
4.1 Installing an expansion card
Toinstallanexpansioncard:
1. Beforeinstallingtheexpansioncard,readthedocumentationthatcamewith
it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Removethesystemunitcover(ifyourmotherboardisalreadyinstalledina
chassis).
3. Removethebracketoppositetheslotthatyouintendtouse.Keepthescrew
forlateruse.
4. Alignthecardconnectorwiththeslotandpressrmlyuntilthecardis
completely seated on the slot.
5. Securethecardtothechassiswiththescrewyouremovedearlier.
6. Replace the system cover.
4.2 Conguring an expansion card
Afterinstallingtheexpansioncard,congureitbyadjustingthesoftwaresettings.
1. TurnonthesystemandchangethenecessaryBIOSsettings,ifany.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
Makesuretounplugthepowercordbeforeaddingorremovingexpansion
cards.Failuretodosomaycauseyouphysicalinjuryanddamagemotherboard
components.
WhenusingPCIcardsonsharedslots,ensurethatthedriverssupport“Share
IRQ”orthatthecardsdonotneedIRQassignments;otherwise,conictswill
arisebetweenthetwoPCIgroups,makingthesystemunstableandthecard
inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for details.
