Page 22: Cpu Installation
® Intel Core™, Pentium , and Celeron processors. ® ® ® Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU. • Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1151 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets on the LGA1151 socket. • Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure 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. • 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 LGA1151 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.

For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do any of the following: a) Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows OS. ® b) Install a 64-bit Windows OS when you want to install 4 GB or more on the ® motherboard. ® F or more details, refer to the Microsoft support site at http://support.microsoft. com/kb/929605/en-us. • The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. • For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (4 DIMMs). • Visit the ASUS website for the latest QVL.

Page 27: Installing A Dimm On A Single Clip Dimm Socket
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM. Hold the DIMM by both of its ends then insert the DIMM vertically into the socket. Apply force to both ends of the DIMM simultaneously until the retaining clip snaps back into place and the DIMM cannot be pushed in any further to ensure proper sitting of the DIMM. Locked Retaining Clip Always insert the DIMM into the socket vertically to prevent DIMM notch damage. • To install two or more DIMMs, refer to the user guide bundled in the motherboard package. • Refer to the user guide for qualified vendor lists of the memory modules. Removing a DIMM from a single clip DIMM socket Press the retaining clip outward to unlock the DIMM. Remove the DIMM from the socket. Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. ASUS ESC300 G4... -
