Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the
system.
• Unplug the power cables before you touch any component in 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.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cable is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may lead to personal injury and cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and components.
Onboard LED
The system 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 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.
2-3ASUS V4-Series P5P43
2.3 Removing the side cover and front
panel assembly
Follow the steps below to remove the side cover and front panel assembly.
1. Remove the cover screws on the rear panel.
2. Pull the side cover toward the rear panel until its hooks disengage from the

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
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 / Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® Extreme /
Pentium® D/ Pentium® 4 / Celeon® 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.
2-5ASUS V4-Series P5P43
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.

3. Lift the load lever in the direction of
the arrow to a 135º angle.
4. Lift the load plate with your thumb
and forenger to a 100º angle (4A),
then push the PnP cap from the
load plate window to remove (4B).
5. Position the CPU over the socket,
ensuring that the gold triangle is on
the bottom-left corner of the socket
then t the socket alignment key

6. Apply several drops of Thermal
Interface Material to the exposed
area of the CPU that the heatsink will
be in contact with, ensuring that it is
spread in an even thin layer.
Some heatsinks come with
preapplied thermal paste. If so,
skip this step.
DO NOT eat the Thermal Interface Material. If it gets into your eyes or touches
your skin, ensure that you wash it off immediately, and seek professional
medical help.
To prevent contaminating the thermal paste, DO NOT spread it with your nger
directly.
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
push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that
the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU
before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
Pentium® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a

installed CPU, ensuring that the four
fasteners match the holes on the
motherboard.

Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors
can occur if you fail to plug this connector.

1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable
from the CPU_FAN connector on

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
Channel Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1
Channel B DIMM_B1
• 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.
FSB DDR2
1333 1066*
1333 800
1333 667
1066 1066*
1066 800
1066 667
• *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 5.4.1 Jumperfree Conguration for
details.
2-10 Chapter 2: Basic installation
2.5.1 Memory congurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Recommended Memory Congurations
• 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,
it is recommended 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
2 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.
