•

To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from

the electrical outlet before relocating the system.

•

When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that

the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables

are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing

system before you add a device.

•

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard,

ensure that all power cables are unplugged.

•

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord.

These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

•

Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your

area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you

are using, contact your local power company.

•

If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a

qualified service technician or your retailer.

PCI Express™ interfacePCI Express™ interface

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect

technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point

serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by

carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible

with existing PCI specifications.

Onboard LEDOnboard LED

Onboard LED

The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to

indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode.

This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug

the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard

component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard

LED.

1.4 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to

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.

•Before you install or remove any component, ensureBefore you install or remove any component, ensure

Your boxed Intel

Pentium

4 LGA775 processor package should

come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink

assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU

documentation, follow the latter.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is

on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your

retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any

damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/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 pins

resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/

loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing

towards you and the load lever is on your left.
