4: Installing the Motherboard
This chapter covers preparing the motherboard for in-
stallation, installing the board in a system housing or
“chassis” and installing or connecting other internal sys-
tem components.
There are a number of important topics in this chapter
and we strongly urge that you review it before attempt-
ing to install the motherboard.
Pre-installation Preparation
Before you install the motherboard you will need to do
the following:
• Install a 478-pin Intel Pentium 4 CPU
• Install DDR DIMM system memory modules
Both of these require specific procedures that you must
follow precisely to insure that the components are suc-
cessfully installed and work properly. Please review the
instructions in this section in detail and follow them care-
fully. The procedures are not complex.
