Safety information

Electrical safety

To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system.

When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are unplugged.

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power company.

If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals that came with the package.

Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.

To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.

Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where it may become wet.

Place the product on a stable surface.

If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.

This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product (electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed in municipal waste.

This chapter describes the motherboard features and the new technologies

it supports.

Product1 introduction

1.1Special features

Latest processor technology

This motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land GridArray (LGA) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

Supporting the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), this motherboard is equipped with Intel® Hyper Threading Technology and is fully compatible with the Intel® 05A/04Aprocessors.

See page 1-6 for details.

64-bit CPU support

64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.

Dual-Core CPU

Enjoy the extraordinary CPU power from the latest dual-core CPU. The advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with individually dedicated

L2 cache to satisfy the rising demand for more powerful processing capability.

PCI Express™ interface

ThemotherboardfullysupportsPCIExpress, 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 1-19 for details.

Serial ATA I technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA I technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the VIAVT8237R+ chipset. The SATAspecification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-25 for details.

Onboard RAID solution

The onboard VIAVT8237R+ chipset allows RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD configuration for four SATAconnectors.

1-

Chapter 1: Product introduction

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 1-23 and 1-28 for details.

AUDIO CODEC

The RealtekALC655 is anAC”97 CODEC that allows 6-channel audio playback.

The audio CODEC provides six DAC channels for 5.1 surround sound, AUX, and Line In stereo inputs.

1.2Before 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 ATX 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.

Onboard LED

The 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 should 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.

Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.3Motherboard 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.

1.3.1Placement 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.

1.3.2Screw 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

Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.4Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4/Intel® Pentium® D 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

MerchandiseAuthorization (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.

•  Due to chipset limitation.The motherboard does not support Enhanced

Intel SpeedStep technology, C1E and TM2 technology.

This motherboard does not support Intel® Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition.

1.4.1Installling the CPU

To install a CPU:

1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

P5VDC-TVM SE

P5VDC-TVM SE 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.
