2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with dual surface mount Socket F designed for the AMD® Opteron® 2000 series CPU in the Land Grid Array (LGA) package. • 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.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab. Retention tab Load lever A PnP cap This side of the socket box should face you. B To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU. 3. Lift the load lever in the direction of the arrow to a 135º angle. 4.
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU! 6. Close the load plate (A), then push the load lever (B) until it snaps into the retention tab.
2.3.2 Installing the heatsink The AMD Opteron™ 2000 series processors require a specially designed heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Make sure that you use only qualified heatsink assembly. Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink. 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the screw holes are matched with the heatsink standoffs. 2. Secure the heatsink with two screws.
2.4 System memory 2.4.1 Overview The motherboard comes with sixteen (16) Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
2.4.2 Memory Configurations You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2, or 4 GB registered ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. • For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s) installed per channel must be the same for better performance. Single CPU: DIMM_A1=DIMM_A2=DIMM_B1=DIMM_B2 Dual CPU: DIMM_A1=DIMM_A2=DIMM_B1=DIMM_B2= DIMM_C1=DIMM_C2 =DIMM_D1=DIMM_D2 • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency.
2.4.3 Installing a DIMM Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 2 To install a DIMM: 1. 2. 3. 3 Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
2.5 Expansion slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub‑sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. 2.5.1 Installing an expansion card To install an expansion card: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) setup. 1. 2. ASUS AFUDOS (Updates the BIOS using a bootable floppy disk) ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 (Updates the BIOS using a bootable floppy disk or the motherboard support CD when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.) Refer to the corresponding sections for details on these utilities.
4.1.2 AFUDOS utility The AFUDOS utility allows you to update the BIOS file in DOS environment using a bootable floppy disk with the updated BIOS file. This utility also allows you to copy the current BIOS file that you can use as backup when the BIOS fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. Copying the current BIOS To copy the current BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility: 1. 2. • Make sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and has at least 1024KB free space to save the file.
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS filename at the DOS prompt. 2. 3. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier. Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type: afudos /i[filename] where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable floppy disk. A:\>afudos /iKFSN4DRE.ROM 4. The utility verifies the file and starts updating the BIOS. A:\>afudos /iKFSN4DRE.
4.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS file when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can update a corrupted BIOS file using the motherboard support CD or the floppy disk that contains the updated BIOS file. • Prepare the motherboard support CD or the floppy disk containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
