introduction

ASUS P5LD2-FM /D H/ VP 1-1

1.1 Welcome!

Than k yo u fo r bu y in g a n A S US® P5 L D 2- F M / DH / VP mo t he r bo a rd !

The motherboard delivers a host of new features and latest technologies, making it another standout in the long line of ASUS quality motherboards!

Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below.

1.2 Special features

1. 2 .1 Pro d uc t hi g hl i gh ts

Lat e st pr o ce s so r t ec h no l og y

The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array (LGA) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® D, Intel® Pentium® 4 or Intel® Celeron® processor in the 775-land package. The motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 or Intel® Pentium® D processor with 1066/800/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The motherboard also supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and is fully compatible with Intel 06/05B/05A processors. See page 1-8 for details.

In t e l® D u a l- Co r e Te ch n ol o gy C P U su p po r t

The motherboard supports dual-core processors containing two physical CPU cores with dedicated L2 caches to meet demands for more powerful processing. See page 1-8 for details.

PCG

1-2 C ha pt er 1 : Product introduction

DD R 2 m em o ry s u pp o rt

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 667 MHz (FSB 800) or 533 MHz (FSB 1066/800) 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.

PC I Ex pr e ss ™ i n te r face

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 1-20 for details.

64 - b it C P U s up po r t

The motherboard supports 64-bit processors that provides high-performance computing and faster memory access required for memory and data intensive applications.

Se r ia l ATA t ec h no l og y

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel® ICH7DH chipset. 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.

Te m pe r at u re , fa n, an d v o lt ag e m on i to r in 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 2-32 and 2-33 for details.

ASUS P5LD2-FM /D H/ VP 1-3

8- c ha nn e l h ig h d ef in i ti o n au d io

The onboard Realtek® ALC888 8-channel high-denition audio CODEC provides 192 KHz/ 24-bit audio output, jack-sensing and restasking functions. With the 8-channel audio ports and S/PDIF interfaces, you can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce crystal-clear digital audio.

S/ P D IF d i gi t al s o un d r e ad y

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF interfaces at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 1-27 for details.

1.3 Before you proceed

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 to 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 y ou i ns t a l l o r remove any c om po ne nt, ensure

• that the AT X power supply is switched off or the powe r cord is detached fro m th e po wer supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

ASUS P5LD2-FM /D H/ VP 1-5

1.4 Motherboard overview

P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

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 motherboard components.

1. 4 .1 Pl a ce m en t d i rec ti 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.

1. 4 .2 Sc r ew ho le s

Place eight (8) 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.

Place this side towards the rear of the chassis

1.5 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

P5LD2-FM/DH/VP CPU Socket 775

P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

•

Your boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor package should come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair 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 pins resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/ loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

1. 5 .1 In sta lll in g t h e CPU

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.

1-8 C ha pt er 1 : Product introduction

2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A) and move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

Ret en ti on t ab

Lo ad l ev er

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. Lift the load plate with your thumb and forenger to a 100º angle (A), then push the PnP cap from the load plate window to remove (B).

6. Close the load plate (A), then push the load lever (B) until it snaps into the retention tab.

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!

The motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® D or Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Refer to the Appendix for more information on these CPU features.

1. 5 .2 In sta lll in g t h e CPU h e at s in k a n d fa n

The Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

• Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly

• When you buy a boxed Intel includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel®-certied multi-directional heatsink and fan.

• Your Intel a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.

If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

Pentium® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in

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.
