1.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The motherboard supports the latest Intel® Xeon™ processor via dual
604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor with 512KB L2 cache
includes a 533/400 MHz system bus and features the Intel HyperThreading Technology and new power design that allow up to 3.06+GHz
core frequencies. See page 2-4 for more information.
Dual-channel DDR333 memory support
Employing the dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the motherboard
provides a solution that doubles the system memory bandwidth to boost
system performance. The motherboard supports up to 4GB of system
memory using PC2700/2100 unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR DIMMs to
deliver up to 5.33GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics,
multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 2-11.
When all four sockets are populated with 1GB DIMMs (total 4GB), the
system may detect only 3.8GB due to ICH5R and other onboard
devices resource allocation.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the new Serial ATA technology through the
SATA interfaces, and the Intel ICH5R and Promise
onboard. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables
with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150MB/s
data transfer rate. See page 2-23.
®
PDC20378 controllers
Multi-RAID solution
The motherboard has the Promise® PDC20378 controller to support multiRAID solution using Serial ATA/150 and Ultra ATA/133 hard disks. The
RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID 0+1 provide a cost-effective
high-performance solution for added system performance and reliability.
AGP 8X support
The motherboard supports the latest graphic architecture, the AGP Pro/8X
interface (a.k.a. AGP 3.0), offering 2.1GB/s bandwidth which is twice that
of its predecessor AGP 4X.
1-2
Chapter 1: Product introduction
Gigabit LAN solution
The Intel® 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet controller allows full-duplex Gigabit
performance on LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications through the
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA). Instead of connecting to
the PCI bus, the controller connects to the dedicated CSA bus on the
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) thus reducing the PCI bottlenecks by
freeing the PCI bus for other I/O operations.
6-channel audio feature
The SoundMAX-class ADI AD1985 AC ‘97 audio CODEC supports
6-channel 5.1 surround sound output, stereo microphone input, variable
Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), professional quality 103-dB out put with
94-dB SNR, and analog enumeration capability. The SoundMAX 4 XL
software features the AudioESP™ (Audio Enumeration and Sensing
Process) that allows intelligent detection of the peripherals plugged into
the audio ports and identifies the incompatible devices, if any.
CPU overclocking
This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the
installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still
maintaining system stability. See section “4.4.1 Advanced Chipset
Features” to set the BIOS items for overclocking.
ASUS Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to
the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
ASUS POST Reporter™
The motherboard offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the
Power-On Self-Tests (POST) informing you of the system boot status and
causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software
lets you to customize the voice messages in different languages.
ASUS PC-DL Deluxe motherboard

IEEE 1394 support
The IEEE 1394 interfaces and the TI TSB43AB22A controller onboard
provide high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of
peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE
1394 allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost, highbandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between computers,
peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs,
printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-31.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12
Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-30.
1-4
Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3.2 Value-added solutions
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond
Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per
minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage
levels are monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
ACPI ready
The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy
saving features for operating systems that support OS Directed Power
Management (OSPM).
Chassis intrusion detection
The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the Winbond
ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more protection.
ASUS Update
This utility allows you to update the motherboard BIOS through a user-friendly
interface. Connect to the Internet then to the ASUS FTP site nearest you to
obtain the latest BIOS version for your motherboard.

ASUS PC-DL Deluxe motherboard
2.1 Motherboard installation
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis
to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The motherboard uses the ATX
form factor that measures 12 inches x 9.6 inches (30.5 x 24.5 cm).
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
2.1.1 Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the
chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the
rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
2.1.2 Screw holes
Place nine (9) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so may damage the
motherboard.
Place this side towards
the rear of the chassis

2.3 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to
a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
5. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the
ATX power supply 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.
When lit, the green LED (SB_PWR1) indicates that the system is ON,
in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, a reminder that you should shut
down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or
plugging in any motherboard component.
This warning LED (LED1) lights up if you installed two CPUs of
different type/voltage. You must install identical CPUs on this
motherboard.
The red LED (AGP_WARN1) is a smart protection from motherboard
burn out caused by an incorrect AGP card. If you plug in any 3.3V AGP
card into the 1.5V AGP slot, this LED lights up thus preventing the
system to power up. This LED remains off if you plug in a 1.5V AGP
card.

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with dual surface mount 604-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) sockets. The sockets are designed for the Intel Processor in
the 604-pin package with 512KB L2 cache. The processor includes the
Intel® NetBurst™ micro-architecture that features the hyper-pipelined
technology, rapid execution engine, 533MHz system bus, and execution
trace cache. Together, these attributes improve system performance by
allowing higher core frequencies, faster execution of integer instructions,
and data transfer rate of up to 4.27GB/s.

2.4.2 Installing the CPU
Note in the above illustration that the CPU has a gold triangular mark on
one corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a
specific corner of the CPU socket.
If installing only one CPU, use CPU socket 1 to ensure system
stability..
