Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array (LGA)
socket designed for the Intel® processor in the 775-land package. The motherboard
supports the Intel® Pentium® D processor with 1066/800/533 MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB). The motherboard also supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and
is fully compatible with Intel® 05B processor. See page 1-9 for details.
1-2
Chapter 1: Product introduction
Intel® Core™2 Processor support
This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processor in LGA775 package.
With new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1066/800 MHz FSB,
Intel® Core™2 processor is one of the most powerful and enrgy-efficient CPUs in
the world.
PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial
interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data
in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI
specifications.
Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology
The motherboard built with JMicron JMB363 SATA controller supports the
next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage
specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for
high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back
I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and
other entertainment contents on external devices. See pages 1-27 and 1-30 for
details.
Dual RAID solution
The onboard VIA VT8237A chipset allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD
configuration for two SATA connectors, and JMicron JMB363 SATA controller also
supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD.
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 pages 1-24 and 1-33 for details.
ASUS P5VD2-X

S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out technology through the coaxial S/PDIF
Out port on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a
high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and
speaker systems. See page 1-31 for details.
6-channel high definition audio
Onboard is the Realtek® ALC883 6-channel High Definition Audio audio CODEC.
This CODEC is fully-compliant with Intel® High Definition Audio standard (192 KHz,
24-bit audio). With the CODEC, 6-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces,
you can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce crystal-clear
digital audio.
Gigabit LAN solution
The motherboard comes with a Gigabit LAN controller to provide a total solution
for your networking needs. The Gigabit LAN controller uses the PCI segment to
provide fast data bandwith. See page 1-26 for details.
1.3.2
Innovative ASUS features
ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a
USB flash disk containing the BIOS file. This utility saves users the cost and hassle
of buying a replacement BIOS chip.
ASUS EZ Flash 2
EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply press the predefined
hotkey to launch the utility and update the BIOS without entering the OS. Update
your BIOS easily without preparing a bootable diskette or using an OS-based flash
utility.
ASUS Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the CPU fan speed according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.

Chapter 1: Product introduction
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 MyLogo™
ASUS My Logo is the new feature present in the motherboard that allows you to
personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos.

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 newly designed ASUS Power LED that lights
up in two colors to show the system power status. Blue indicates that the
system is in sleep/soft-off mode and Red indicates that the system is ON.
The ASUS Power LED helps remind you to shut down the system and unplug
the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

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 (7) 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

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel® Core™2/Pentium® D/ Pentium® 4/Celeron® processor in the 775-land
package.
•
•
Your boxed Intel® Core™2/Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Celeron® 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
Installling the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

Notes on Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
•
This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 CPUs in the 775-land
package with Hyper-Threading Technology.
•
Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows® XP/2003
Server and Linux 1.7.x (kernel) and later versions only. Under Linux, use
the Hyper-Threading compiler to compile the code. If you are using any
other operating systems, disable the Hyper-Threading Technology item in
the BIOS to ensure system stability and performance.
•
•
Installing Windows® XP Service Pack 1 or later version is recommended.
Make sure to enable the Hyper-Threading Technology item in BIOS before
installing a supported operating system.
•
For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, visit www.intel.
com/info/hyperthreading.
To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard:
1.
Install an Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU in the 775-land package that supports
Hyper-Threading Technology.
2.
Power up the system and enter the BIOS Setup (see Chapter 2: BIOS
setup). Under the Advanced Menu, make sure that the item Hyper-Threading
Technology is set to Enabled. The item appears only if you installed a CPU
that supports Hyper-Threading Technology.
3.
Reboot the computer.
