This chapter describes the motherboard features and the new technologies

it supports.

Product1 introduction

ASUS P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

1.1Welcome!

Thank you for buying an ASUS® P5LD2-FM/DH/VP motherboard!

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.

1.2Special features

1.2.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

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® PCG 06/05B/05A processors. See page 1-8 for details.

Intel ® Dual -Core Technology CPU support

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.

1-	Chapter 1: Product introduction

DDR2 memory support

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.

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point topoint serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications. See page 1-20 for details.

64-bit CPU support

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

Serial ATA technology

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

for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.

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 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/DH/VP

8-channel high definition audio

The onboard Realtek® ALC888 8-channel high-definition 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/PDIF digital sound ready

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.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

1.3Before 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 you install or remove any component, ensure that the AT X 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.

ASUS P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

1.4Motherboard overview

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits 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 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.

1.4.2 Screw holes

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

1.5Central Processing Unit (CPU)

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 Installling the CPU

To install a CPU:

1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

P5LD2-FM/DH/VP CPU Socket 775

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

1-	Chapter 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.

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

snaps into the retention tab.

The CPU fits 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.

1-10	Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.5.2 Installling the CPU heatsink and fan

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® Pentium® 4 processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a

CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel® certified multi directional heatsink and fan.

•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 a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan 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.
