Product introduction 1 ASUS P5PE-VM 1-1 1.1 Welcome! Thank you for buying an ASUS® P5PE-VM motherboard! The motherboard delivers a host of new features and latest technologies, making it another standout in the long line of ASUS quality motherboards! Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below. 1.2 Package contents ASUS P5PE-VM motherboard 1 x Serial ATA signal cable 1 x Floppy disk drive cable 1 x Ultra DMA 100/66 cable I/O shield ASUS motherboard support CD User guide Check your motherboard package for the following items. Motherboard Cables Accessories Application CDs Documentation If any of the above items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer. 1.3 1.3.1 Special features Product highlights Latest processor technology The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array (LGA) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package. The motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium 4 processor, Intel® Pentium D, Intel® Celeron and Intel® Dual-Core processors with 1066/800/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), L2 cache, and a core speed of up to 3.8GHz. The motherboard also supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, the Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) that allows 64-bit computing, and the Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology (EIST) that intelligently adjusts the CPU voltage and frequency depending on the CPU loading, system speed or power requirement. See page1-8 for details. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction Intel ® 65nanometer process technology support The motherboard supports Intel® processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Intel's 65 nm process is the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. The Intel® 65 nm Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance. Dual-channel DDR400 memory support Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See 1-15 to 1-18 for details. Serial ATA technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel® ICH5 chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-27 for details. 6-channel audio support The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1888JCPZ high-definition audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-24 and page 1-25 for details. AGP 8X support The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enhances graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. 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 1-25 and page 1-30 for details. ASUS P5PE-VM 1-3 Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely xure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. 1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features ASUS EZ Flash BIOS With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a floppy disk. See page 2-3 for details. C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter. ASUS MyLogoTM This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See details on page 2-29. 1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction 1.4 Before 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. P5PE-VM SB_PWR R ON Standby Power OFF Powered Off P5PE-VM Onboard LED ASUS P5PE-VM 1-5 1.5 Motherboard 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. 1.5.1 Placement 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. 1.5.2 Screw holes Place six (6) 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 R 1-6 Chapter 1: Product introduction P5PE-VM 1.5.3 PS/2KBMS T: Mouse B: Keyboard Motherboard layout 19.3cm (7.6in) KBPWR ATX12V PARALLEL PORT DDR DIMM_A1 (64 bit,184-pin module) DDR DIMM_B1 (64 bit,184-pin module) LGA775 CPU_FAN COM1 VGA USB12 P5PE-VM ATXPWR Bottom : Top: USB3 USB4 RJ-45 Intel 865G R Marvell 88E8001 4Mb BIOS PCI1 Super I/O SB_PWR USB78 FP_AUDIO AD1888 SPEAKER PCI3 CR2032 3V Lithium Cell CMOS Power SATA1 CD FLOPPY USB56 ASUS P5PE-VM CHA_FAN PCI2 Intel ICH5 SATA2 CLRTC F_PANEL SEC_IDE AGP PRI_IDE Top:Line In Center:Line Out Below:Mic In 24.5cm (9.6in) 1-7 1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 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 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 pins resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/ loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap. · · · 1.6.1 1. Installing the CPU To install a CPU: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. R P5PE-VM 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. 1-8 P5PE-VM Chapter 1: Product introduction
