Chapter 1
Product introduction
Thank you for buying an ASUS® P5Q-VM DO motherboard!
Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your motherboard package. Refer to page ix for the list of accessories.
If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer.
1.1Before 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.
•Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, 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, switch off the ATX power supply and detach its power cord. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
Onboard LED
This motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must 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.

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.
This motherboard supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST).
1.4System memory
1.4.1Overview
This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 DIMM 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 figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

1.4.2Memory configurations
You may install a 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMM into the
DIMM socket.
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
•For dual-channel configuration, you can:
-install two identical DIMMs in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1; or
-install four identical DIMMs in all four slots; or
-install one identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (yellow slots) and another identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black slots).
•Due to the memory address limitation on the 32-bit Windows® OS, when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do either of the following:
-Install a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows®
OS.
-Use a 64-bit Windows® OS if you want to install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard.
•This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.
• This motherboard supports up to 16GB on Windows® XP Professional x64 and Windows® Vista x64 editions. You may install a maximum of 4GB DIMMs on each slot.
•The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
•For system stability, use a more efficient cooling system to support a full memory load (4
DIMMs) or overclocking conditions.
