This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See details on page 2-6. ASUS MyLogoTM This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. 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. 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 p o w e r c o r d i s d e t a c h e d f r o m t h e p o w e r s u p p l y . 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. P5RD1-VM LED1 ® P5RD1-VM Onboard LED ON Standby Power OFF Powered Off ASUS P5RD1-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 eight (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 ® 1-6 Chapter 1: Product introduction P5RD1-VM 1.5.3 Motherboard layout 24.3cm (9.6in) KBPWR COM1 ATX12V LGA775 Super I/O DDR DIMM1 (64 bit,184-pin module) DDR DIMM2 (64 bit,184-pin module) PS/2KBMS T: Mouse B: Keyboard CHASSIS CPU_FAN CHA_FAN PARALLEL PORT VGA F_USB12 USBPW34 USBPW12 P5RD1-VM EATXPWR FLOPPY LAN_USB34 TV-OUT RTL8201CL ATI RC410 CR2032 3V Lithium Cell CMOS Power PCIEX16 SEC_IDE PRI_IDE Top:Line In Center:Line Out Below:Mic In 4M BIOS LPC AAFP AD1986A ® USBPW56 USB56 USB78 CD AUX USBPW78 CLRTC PLED SPDIF_OUT F_PANEL ASUS P5RD1-VM BIOS_WP PCI2 SATA1 SATA2 PCI1 ULI M1573 SATA4 SATA3 PCIEX1_1 SB_PWR SPEAKER BUZZER 21.8cm (8.6in) 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. Installling the CPU To install a CPU: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. ® P5RD1-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 P5RD1-VM Chapter 1: Product introduction
