memory socket that accommodates 200/266 MHz DDR
SDRAM (without AGP slot version) or 200/266/333MHz DDR
SDRAM (with AGP slot version).
The without AGP slot model uses the latest Intel® 845GV chipset
or the Intel® 845GE chipset (with AGP slot version)
to integrate all system control functions.
Features of this system include support for:
•Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
•533/400 MHz system bus
•Up to 1GB DDR SDRAM
•One 32-bit PCI/33 MHz slot (without AGP slot version)

2: Installation
This chapter describes installing components and devices
on the barebone’ motherboard. Please review each of
the following procedures before you start. For the location
and description of system components, please refer to
Appendix 1, Hardware Layout.
Getting Started
The package contains the motherboard/chassis assembly,
plus one box containing the Fan/Heatsink, and one box
containing accessories.
1. Unpacking the package.
2. Remove the two smaller boxes and place to one side.
3. Remove the motherboard/chassis assembly, and
discard the foam and plastic packaging – or save it for
recycling.
4. Unscrew the three thumbscrews at the rear of the barebone
and remove the aluminum Housing.
5. Locate the CPU socket.
Installing a CPU
The motherboard supports the Intel Pentium 4 processor.
Follow the procedures below to avoid damaging the CPU
or motherboard.

2 - 2 User’s Manual
Mini P4 Barebone Series Chapter 2
Selecting a Processor
This motherboard supports all Intel Pentium 4 processors.
The motherboard’s BIOS automatically detects the
required settings and configures the CMOS Setup Utility.
Installing the Processor
It is important to review all of the instructions before
beginning the installation procedure. Carefully handle the
processor by its edges, and take all precautions against
electrostatic discharge. The boxed Intel Pentium 4 proces-
sor comes with a Heatsink and Thermal Interface Material
applicator. Non-boxed processors follow the same proce-
dures, but the accessories may have a different appear-
ance. The following illustrations are a generic representa-
tion and may not show the components’ exact appearance.
Note that you install the CPU by reaching your hands and
fingers through the chassis frame to manipulate the CPU
and socket.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then
lift it up to a vertical angle.

2. Position the CPU above the socket such that its
marked corner matches the base of the socket lever.
3. Press it firmly on the socket while you push down the
socket lever to secure the CPU.

Mini P4 Barebone Series Chapter 2
4. After installing the CPU you need to apply the Ther-
mal Interface Material (TIM) to the top of the installed
CPU (Fig. 2) and remove the piece of tape from the
Heatsink. The TIM is supplied in an applicator with
the boxed Pentium 4 processors. The TIM secures the
Fan/Heatsink to the CPU. However, if the Fan/
Heatsink already has a patch of TIM on its underside,
you won’t need to apply additional TIM to the CPU
(Fig. 1).
Step 4
Fig. 2
Fig. 1
The heatsink may have thermal interface material attached to the bottom as shown in
Fig.1, or you may need to apply the thermal interface material using a syringe as
shown in Fig.2.
Be careful not to damage the
thermal interface material.
Using the enclosed syringe apply
all of the thermal interface material
to the top of the processor.

Installing the Fan/ Heatsink
To install the Fan/Heatsink assembly:
5. When installing the Fan/Heatsink and clip assembly it
is important to make sure the Fan/Heatsink does not
rotate or twist on the processor. Securing the Fan/
Heatsink while closing the clip lever will ensure the
thermal interface material (TIM) is not damaged and
the processor will operate correctly. The TIM is
attached to the heatsink.
6. Make sure to close the clip levers one at a time. Close
the clip lever (1), while holding the top-side of the
Fan/Heatsink with your other hand (A). Close the clip
lever (2) while holding the top-side of the Fan/
Heatsink with your other hand (B).

7. Align the Heatsink and clip assembly with the Reten-
tion Mechanism and place it on the processor. The
Heatsink is symmetrical.
8. With the clip levers in the up position (C), push down
on all four clip frame corners to secure to the Reten-
tion Mechanism hooks (D). Close the clip levers (E).
The levers require force to be completely closed.
Connect the processor fan cable connector to the
motherboard connector.

Mini P4 Barebone Series Chapter 2
Installing Memory Modules
To install a memory module, you insert a module into its
socket and secure it with the socket retaining arms. The
modules are notched so that you cannot insert them
incorrectly. The BIOS recognizes the installed memory
and configures the CMOS Setup Utility automatically.
Installing Memory Modules
To install memory modules:
1 Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips
outward.
2 Align the “notch” on the memory module to the
“break” on the socket.
3 Firmly insert the module into the socket until the
retaining clips snap back into place and the module is
properly seated.
4 Make sure the memory module is locked on the socket
with both retaining clips.

Installing Internal Peripherals
After installing the CPU, Fan/Heatsink, and memory
modules, you can install internal peripherals such as a
hard disk drive (IDE/HDD), and CD-ROM drive. You
may have to set the jumpers of each internal peripheral to
either Master or Slave mode depending on whether you
install more than one peripheral.
Important: Make sure the 110/220 switch on the back
panel is set to the appropriate voltage.
Installing an IDE drive
To install an IDE drive:
1 Set the required jumpers on the IDE drive according to
the instructions of the manufacturer.
2 Remove the 3-connector peripherals cable from the
accessories box and attach it to the blue connector
IDE1 on the motherboard.
3 Bring the cable up and over the IDE drive and attach
the cable’s middle connector to the IDE drive. With the
cable wrapped over the top of the IDE drive, slide the
drive into the lower chassis port.
Important: The IDE cable must be wrapped over the IDE
Drive to keep it from blocking the fan.
4. Secure the IDE drive to the chassis port by inserting
mounting screws in all the holes and tightening these
screws with a screwdriver.
5. Connect an available power cable from the power
supply unit to the back panel of the IDE Drive. Note
that the power cable is directional and can only fit one
way.
