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 or PCI-X specifications. See page 2-17 for details.
The LSI53C1020A PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to support one 68-pin
Ultra320 SCSI connector, that can connect up to 15 SCSI devices. See
page 2-27 and Chapter 5 for details.
The motherboard comes with a PCI-X slot (green slot in P5MT/SCSI model)
that supports an optional Zero-Channel RAID card. The Zero-Channel RAID
card allows you to create all types of RAID configurations for your storage
devices. The ZCR capability provides a cost-effective, high-performance,
and added reliability for your server system.

•
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.

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. 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 you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the
CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan
assembly.
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.
