The PSU has a 115 V/230 V voltage selector switch located beside the power
connector. Use this switch to select the appropriate system input voltage according
to the voltage supply in your area.
If the voltage supply in your area is 100-127 V, set this switch to 115 V.
If the voltage supply in your area is 200-240 V, set this switch to 230 V.

2.2 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the
system.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or 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.
The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED lights
up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not
powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that
the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.

P5QL-M DELUXE/WIFI-AP
P5QL-M DELUXE/WIFI-AP CPU socket 775
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the
Intel® Core™2 Quad / Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium
®
D / Pentium® 4
and Celeron® E1000 Series and Celeron 400 Series processors.
• Make sure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
• Connect the chassis fan cable to the CHA_FAN connector to ensure
system stability.
•
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.
2.4.2 Installing CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you
and the load lever is on your left.
2-4 Chapter 2: Basic installation
2. Press the load lever with your thumb
(A), then move it to the left (B) until it
is released from the retention tab.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you
are installing a CPU.

then push the PnP cap from the
load plate window to remove (4B).
5. Position the CPU over the socket,
making sure that the gold triangle
is on the bottom-left corner of the
socket then t the socket alignment

DO NOT eat the Thermal
Interface Material. If it gets
into your eyes or touches
your skin, make sure to wash
it off immediately, and seek
professional medical help.
7. Close the load plate (A), then push
the load lever (B) until it snaps into
the retention tab.

2.4.3 Installing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly
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®-certied multi-directional heatsink and
fan.
®
• Your Intel

• This chipset ofcially supports DDR2-800 MHz. With the ASUS Super
Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to
DDR2-1066 MHz. See the table below.

• *If you install a DDR2-1066 memory module whose SPD is DDR2-800,
make sure that you set the DRAM Frequency item in BIOS to
[DDR2-1066MHz]. See section 5.4.1JumperfreeConguration for
details.

2.5.1 Memorycongurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB,2 GB and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
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
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,
we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• Due to the memory address limitation on 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 install a 64-bit Windows OS when having 4GB or more
memory installed on the motherboard.
• This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabit (Mb)
chips or less.
Notes on memory limitations
• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of
4 GB DIMMs on each slot.
64-bit
Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition
Windows® Vista x64 Edition
• Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel®’s
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade
to run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check
the ODT value.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run
at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency,
adjust the memory timing manually.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded to run
at DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency,
adjust the memory timing manually.
