Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel® Pentium® 4 and Conroe processor in the 775-land package.
•
Your boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the
retention mechanism. 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 contacts are not bent. Contact your
retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any
damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/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
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
P5LP-LE (Leonite) 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.
2
ASUS P5LP-LE (Leonite)
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B)
until it is released from the retention tab.

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap
unless you are installing a CPU.
3. Lift the load lever in the
direction of the arrow to a 135º
angle.
4. Lift the load plate with your
thumb and forefinger to a
100º angle (A), then push
the PnP cap from the load
plate window to remove (B).

5. Position the CPU over
the socket, making
sure that the gold
triangle is on the
bottom-left corner of
the socket. The
Alignment key

push the load lever (B) until
it snaps into the retention
tab.

The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into
the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and
damaging the CPU!
Notes on Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
•
This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the
775-land package with Hyper-Threading Technology.
•
Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows® XP/2003
Server and Linux 2.4.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
Techonology 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
To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard:
1. Install an Intel® Intel® Pentium® 4 processor that supports
Hyper-Threading Technology.
2. Power up the system and enter the 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 Techonology.
3. Reboot the computer.

System memory
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Module (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 following figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets.
P5LP-LE (Leonite) 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets
3.1
Memory configurations
You can install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the
DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
•
Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations on the next page.
•
•
Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMM pairs
using the recommended configurations.
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front
Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization
table on the next page.
•
•
This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.
Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The
third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.

Installing a DDR2 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.

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.

•
•
A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits 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.
3.3
Removing a DDR2 DIMM
To remove a DIMM:
2
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
Support the DIMM lightly
with your fingers when
pressing the retaining
clips. The DIMM might get
damaged when it flips out
with extra force.

Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following
sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
4.1
Installing an expansion card
To install an expansion card:
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that
came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already
installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep
the screw for later use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.
4.2
Configuring an expansion card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software
settings.
1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
“Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments; otherwise,
conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system
unstable and the card inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for
details.

Jumpers
Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in
CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system
setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard
button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include
system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (Normal) to pins 1-2 (Clear
CMOS). Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for about 5~10 seconds, then
move the cap back to pins 2-3.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
