Chapter 2 InstallationChapter 2 InstallationChapter 2 InstallationChapter 2 InstallationChapter 2 Installation775Dual-880Pro is an ATX form factor (12.0" x 9.6", 30.5 x 24.4 cm) motherboard.Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis toensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you anddamages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw HolesPlace screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to thechassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installatio n Precautions2.2 Pre-installati on Precautions2.2 Pre-installatio n Precautions2.2 Pre-installati on Precautions2.2 Pre-installati on PrecautionsTake note of the following precautions before you install motherboard componentsor change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVERplace your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to usea grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handlecomponents.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2.3 775-LAND CPU Installation2.3 775-LAND CPU Installation2.3 775-LAND CPU Installation2.3 775-LAND CPU Installation2.3 775-LAND CPU InstallationFor the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,please follow the steps below.

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation isfound. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

Step 1. Open the socket:Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (IntegratedHeat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the twoorientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation keynotches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socketby using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socketand properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):Use your left hand index finger and thumb tosupport the load plate edge, engage PnP capwith right hand thumb and peel the cap from thesocket while pressing on center of PnP cap toassist in removal.

1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off the PnP cap.2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after service.

Step 4. Close the socket:Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS.Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load

plate, engage the load lever.Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab

under retention tab of load lever.

2. 42.42. 42.42.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPUto dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermalinterface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact witheach other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, seepage 12, No. 5).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensurefan cables are oriented on side closest to theCPU fan connector on the motherboard(CPU_FAN1, see page 12, No. 5).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboardthroughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then pressdown on fastener caps with thumb to installand lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fanconnector on the motherboard.

Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensurecable does not interfere with fan operation or contact other components.

For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identi-cal (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR DIMM pair in the slots of thesame color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR DIMM pair in DualChannel A (DDRII1 and DDRII2; Yellow slots; see p.12 No.6) or identical DDRDIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR1 and DDR2; Blue slots; see p.12 No.7), sothat Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. You may refer to the

Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

Installing an expansion cardInstalling an expansion cardInstalling an expansion cardInstalling an expansion cardInstalling an expansion cardStep 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read thedocumentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardwaresettings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in achassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screwsfor later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card iscompletely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.Step 6. Replace the system cover.
