1-8 Chapter 1: Product Introduction 1.6.1 Installling the CPU T o install a CPU: 1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. 1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel ® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 / Celeron ® D Processors. • Your boxed Intel ® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 / Celeron ® D Processors 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. Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left. P5V-VM ULTRA P5V-VM ULTRA CPU Socket 775

Lift the load plate with your thumb and forenger to a 100º angle (A), then push the PnP cap from the load plate window to remove (B). T o prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU. 5. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom-left corner of the socket. The socket alignment key should t into the CPU notch. 2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A) and move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

ASUS P5V -VM Ultra Motherboard 1-1 1 1.6.2 Installling the CPU heatsink and fan The Intel ® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 / Celeron ® D Processors require a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. performance. • Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly • When you buy a boxed Intel ® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 / Celeron ® D LGA775 processor, the packageincludes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel ® ‑certied multi‑directional heatsink and fan. • Your I Intel ® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium ® D / Pentium ® 4 / Celeron ® D LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install. If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly , make sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly . T o install the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard. F a s t e n e r M o t h e r b o a r d h o l e Make sure each fastener is oriented as shown, with the narrow groove directed outward.
1-12 Chapter 1: Product Introduction Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector . 3. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_F AN. 2.

ASUS P5V -VM Ultra Motherboard 1-15 1.7 System memory 1.7.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets: 1.7.2 Memory congurations Y ou may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

ASUS P5V -VM Ultra Motherboard 1-17 1.7.4 Installing a DIMM Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. T o install a DIMM: 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. 2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. 1.7.5 Removing a DIMM Follow these steps to remove a DIMM. 1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM. 2. Remove the DIMM from the socket. • A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. Do not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. • The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO not install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets. Support the DIMM lightly with your ngers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it ips out with extra force.

The LPC chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility . When you start up the computer , the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del> during the Power-On Self-T est (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. T o enter Setup after POST , restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del>, or by p re ssi ng the re set bu tto n o n th e s yst em cha ss is.
