1.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DIMM) sockets.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and
the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap
is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/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 contacts resulting from
incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP
cap.
1.4.2 Memory congurations
You may install 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the
