This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as
how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the
peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel Pentium 4 Prescott processor in the LGA775 package. When
you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the
top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to
purchase and install them before turning on the computer. (For the latest information about CPU,
