TM
microarchitecture technology
DDR 2 m e mor y s u ppo r t
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 667/533/400 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 10.7 GB/s. See pages 2-13 to 2-16 for details.
1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Ser i al ATA te c hno l og y
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and Intel® ICH7 southbridge. The SATA specication allows
for thinner, more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-25 for details.
PCI Ex p res s ™ i nte r fa c e
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible
with existing PCI specications. See page 2‑19 for details.
6-c h an n el h ig h de f in i tio n a u dio
Onboard is the Realtek® High Denition 6‑channel audio CODEC. This CODEC is fully-compliant with Intel® High Denition Audio standard (192KHz, 24‑bit audio). With the CODEC, 6-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces, you can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce crystal­clear digital audio.
The Realtek® High Denition audio CODEC comes with a software application that features jack detection to monitor the plugging status of each jack,
impedance sensing to determine audio device classes, and pre‑dened
equalizaion for various audio devices. See pages 2-22 to 2-23, and 5-10 for details.
S/P D IF dig i ta l so u nd rea d y
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the coaxial S/PDIF Out port on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 2-23 for details.
USB 2.0 te c hno log y
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specication, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a faster 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-23 and 2-27 for details.
ASUS P5L 1394 1-3
Gig a bi t LA N s o lut i on
The motherboard comes with a PCI Express Gigabit LAN controller to provide a total solution for your networking needs. The Gigabit LAN controller uses the PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth. See pages 2-22 for details.
Tem p er a tur e , f an, an d vo l ta g e m o ni t ori n g
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 ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See pages 4-33 and 4-34 for details.
1.3 .2 Inn ov at ive A SU S f ea tu res
Fan l es s De s ig n
The ASUS fanless design allows multi‑directional heat ow from major
thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature, resulting in quieter operation and longer system life.
Pre c is i on T we a ker
This feature allows you to ne‑tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually
increase the Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency to achieve maximum system performance. See pages 4-20 to 4-22 for details.
Cra s hF r ee B IO S
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD in case the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 4-5 for details.
ASU S Q - Fan te c hno l og y
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efcient operation. See pages 4-33 for details.
ASU S M y Log o ™
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See page 5-8 for details.

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• 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, or components, or all of the above articles.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED. The green LED lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

2.2 Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage to the motherboard components.
2.2 .1 Pla ce me nt di re cti on
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.
2.2 .2 Scr ew h ole s
Place seven (6) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

CPU Socket 775
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® D, Pentium® 4 and Celeron® processor in the 775-land 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. ASUS shoulders the repair cost only if the damage is shipment/ transit-related.
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 LGA775 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.
2.3 .1 Ins ta ll ing t he CP U
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.

The CPU ts 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.
The motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processors with the Intel® Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST), and Hyper-Threading Technology. Refer to the Appendix for more information on these CPU features.

The Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 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 CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
Your Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel®‑certied multi‑directional heatsink and fan.
Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis
before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.
