Chapter 1

Product introduction

Thank you for buying an ASUS® P7Q57-M 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.

1-2	Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1156 socket designed for the Intel® Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 processors.

Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure 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

LGA1156 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.

1.4System memory

1.4.1Overview

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR3 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR3 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are developed for better performance with less power consumption. The figure illustrates the location of the

DDR3 DIMM sockets:

DIMM A2 DIMM A1

DIMM B2 DIMM B1

P7Q57-M DO

P7Q57-M DO 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets

ASUS P7Q57-M DO

1-3

1.4.2Memory configurations

You may install 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• 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 (blue 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.

• 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.
