I f the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follo w the latter . ⢠Upon purchase of the motherboard , make sure that the P nP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. C ontact your retailer immediately if the P nP cap is missing , or if you see an y damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboar d components . ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-rela ted. ⢠Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will proc ess Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA ) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the L GA775 socket. ⢠The product warranty does not cov er damage to the socket pins resulting from inc orrect CPU installation/removal , or misplacement/ loss/incorrect removal of the P nP cap . Before installing the CPU , make sure that the socket box is facing towar ds you and the load lever is on y our left. P5LD2-FM/DH/VP CPU Socket 775 î P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

A S U S P 5 L D 2 - F M / D H / V P 2 - 7 2.2 BIOS setup program This motherboard supports a programmable îÂÂrmw are chip that y ou can update using the pro vided utility described in section âÂÂ2.1 M anaging and updating your BIOS. â Use the BIOS Setup program when y ou are installing a motherboar d, reconîÂÂguring y our system, or pr ompted to âÂÂRun Setup â . This sec tion explains how to c onîÂÂgure your sy stem using this utility . Even if y ou are not pr ompted to use the Setup prog ram, you can change the conîÂÂguration of y our computer in the futur e. F or example, you can enable the security password fea ture or change the pow er management settings. This requir es you to r econîÂÂgur e your syst em using the BIOS Setup program so tha t the computer can r ecogniz e these changes and recor d them in the CMOS RAM of the îÂÂrmwar e hub . The îÂÂrmwar e hub on the motherboard stor es the Setup utility . When y ou star t up the computer , the system pro vides you with the opportunit y to run this program. P ress <Del> during the Pow er-On-Self- T est (POST ) to enter the Setup utility ; other wise, POST c ontinues with its test r outines. If you wish to enter Setup after POST , restar t the system b y pressing <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del>, or by pressing the r eset button on the system chassis. Y ou can also restart by turning the system oî and then back on. Do this last option only if the îÂÂrst two failed. The Setup progr am is designed to make it as easy to use as possible . Being a menu-dr iven pr ogram, it lets y ou scroll thr ough the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the na vigation keys. ⢠The default BIOS settings for this motherboar d apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system bec omes unstable after changing any BIOS settings , load the default settings to ensure syst em compatibility and stability .

I f the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follo w the latter . ⢠Upon purchase of the motherboard , make sure that the P nP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. C ontact your retailer immediately if the P nP cap is missing , or if you see an y damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboar d components . ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-rela ted. ⢠Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will proc ess Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA ) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the L GA775 socket. ⢠The product warranty does not cov er damage to the socket pins resulting from inc orrect CPU installation/removal , or misplacement/ loss/incorrect removal of the P nP cap . Before installing the CPU , make sure that the socket box is facing towar ds you and the load lever is on y our left. P5LD2-FM/DH/VP CPU Socket 775 î P5LD2-FM/DH/VP

F irmly inser t the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated . ⢠A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it îÂÂts in only one dir ection. Do not forc e a DIMM into a socket to a void damaging the DIMM. ⢠The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO not install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

A S U S P 5 L D 2 - F M / D H / V P 2 - 7 2.2 BIOS setup program This motherboard supports a programmable îÂÂrmw are chip that y ou can update using the pro vided utility described in section âÂÂ2.1 M anaging and updating your BIOS. â Use the BIOS Setup program when y ou are installing a motherboar d, reconîÂÂguring y our system, or pr ompted to âÂÂRun Setup â . This sec tion explains how to c onîÂÂgure your sy stem using this utility . Even if y ou are not pr ompted to use the Setup prog ram, you can change the conîÂÂguration of y our computer in the futur e. F or example, you can enable the security password fea ture or change the pow er management settings. This requir es you to r econîÂÂgur e your syst em using the BIOS Setup program so tha t the computer can r ecogniz e these changes and recor d them in the CMOS RAM of the îÂÂrmwar e hub . The îÂÂrmwar e hub on the motherboard stor es the Setup utility . When y ou star t up the computer , the system pro vides you with the opportunit y to run this program. P ress <Del> during the Pow er-On-Self- T est (POST ) to enter the Setup utility ; other wise, POST c ontinues with its test r outines. If you wish to enter Setup after POST , restar t the system b y pressing <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del>, or by pressing the r eset button on the system chassis. Y ou can also restart by turning the system oî and then back on. Do this last option only if the îÂÂrst two failed. The Setup progr am is designed to make it as easy to use as possible . Being a menu-dr iven pr ogram, it lets y ou scroll thr ough the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the na vigation keys. ⢠The default BIOS settings for this motherboar d apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system bec omes unstable after changing any BIOS settings , load the default settings to ensure syst em compatibility and stability .
