2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

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

• 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.

•

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 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
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

To install a CPU:

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

P5LP-LE (Leonite) 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.

Hyper-Threading Technology Hyper-Threading Technology

Hyper-Threading Technology

Hyper-Threading Technology Hyper-Threading Technology

• This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the
775-land package with Hyper-Threading Technology.

• Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows® XP/2003
Server and Linux 2.4.x (kernel) and later versions only. Under Linux,
use the Hyper-Threading compiler to compile the code. If you are
using any other operating systems, disable the Hyper-Threading
Techonology item in the BIOS to ensure system stability and
performance.

• Installing Windows® XP Service Pack 1 or later version is recommended.

• Make sure to enable the Hyper-Threading Technology item in BIOS
before installing a supported operating system.

• For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, visit
www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard:

®

1. Install an Intel

Intel® Pentium® 4 processor that supports

Hyper-Threading Technology.

2. Power up the system and enter the BIOS Setup. Under the Advanced
Menu, make sure that the item Hyper-Threading Technology is set to
Enabled. The item appears only if you installed a CPU that supports
Hyper-Threading Techonology.

3. Reboot the computer.

3. System memory

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

Memory configurationsMemory configurations

You can install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the
DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

• Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations on the next page.

• Install only
using the recommended configurations.

• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front
Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization
table on the next page.

• This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.

• Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The
third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.

Installing a DDR2 DIMMInstalling a DDR2 DIMM

Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other
system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both
the motherboard and the components.

To install a DIMM:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by
pressing the retaining clips
outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket
such that the notch on the
DIMM matches the break on

1

the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socket until the retaining clips
snap back in place and the
DIMM is properly seated.

• A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one
direction. Do not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the
DIMM.

• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. Do not install
DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

4. Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following
sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments; otherwise,
conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system
unstable and the card inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for
details.

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system
setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard
button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include
system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (Normal) to pins 1-2 (Clear
CMOS). Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then
move the cap back to pins 2-3.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

This connector is for the provided floppy disk drive (FDD) signal cable.

Insert one end of the cable to this connector, then connect the other
end to the signal connector at the back of the floppy disk drive.

Pin 5 on the connector is removed to prevent incorrect cable connection
when using an FDD cable with a covered Pin 5.

IDE connector (40-1 pin IDE)IDE connector (40-1 pin IDE)
This connector is for an Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cable. The Ultra DMA

100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the
primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an
Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and
a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk
drive). If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the
second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer
to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion
when you connect the IDE cable.

• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE devices.

NOTE: Orient the red marking
(usually zigzag) on the IDE
ribbon cable to PIN 1.

These connectors are for an ATX power supply. The plugs from the

power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one
orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the
connectors completely fit.

•

Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug;
otherwise, the system will not boot up.

•

Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the
+12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB).
The minimum recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully
configured system. The system can become unstable and might
experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate.

• You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.
