Chapter 1: Product introduction |
1.3.2 Value-added solutions
Easy overclocking
•adjustable CPU frequency multiple in BIOS using the ASUS
JumperFree™ solution
•adjustable FSB/PCI/memory frequency ratios
•Stepless Frequency Selection (SFS) for fine-tuning system bus at 1MHz increments
Concurrent PCI
This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the memory and processor.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal diode 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.
Dual function power switch
While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.
ACPI ready
The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management (OSPM).

ASUS P4SDR-VM motherboard
2.1Motherboard installation
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The P4SDR-VM uses the micro-ATX form factor that measures 9.6 inches x 7.5 inches (24.5x19cm).
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 six (6) 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

2.3Before 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 standby power LED (SBPWRLED1) indicates that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, a reminder that you should shut down the system before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

2.4Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount 478-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. The socket is designed for the Intel Pentium 4 Processor in the 478-pin package with 512KB/256KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process. This processor includes the Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture that features the hyper-pipelined technology, rapid execution engine, 100 MHz 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 3.2GB/s.
Gold Mark
Note in the 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.
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU!
2-4 |
Chapter 2: Hardware information |
2.4.2 Installing the CPU
Follow these steps to install a CPU.
1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard.
2.Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°-100° angle.
Socket Lever
90 - 100
Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to 90°-100° angle, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely.
ASUS P4SDR-VM motherboard user guide |
2-5 |
3.Position the CPU above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever.
4.Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!
Gold Mark
5.When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

Chapter 2: Hardware information |
2.4.3 Installing the heatsink and fan
The Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
When you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4 Processor, the package includes the heatsink, fan, and retention mechanism.
In case you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel certified heatsink and fan.
Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan.
1.Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the heatsink fits properly on the retention module base.
The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon purchase.
You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the CPU or installing other motherboard components.
CPU Heatsink
Retention Module Base
Your boxed Intel Pentium 4 Processor package should come with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
ASUS P4SDR-VM motherboard user guide |
2-7 |
2.Position the fan with the retention mechanism on top of the heatsink. Align and snap the four hooks of the retention mechanism to the holes on each corner of the module base.
Make sure that the fan and retention mechanism assembly perfectly fits the heatsink and module base, otherwise you cannot snap the hooks into the holes.

Retention Hook Snapped to the Retention Hole
Keep the retention locks lifted upward while fitting the retention mechanism to the module base.
