Frequently Asked Questions - V2P5G43 ASUS

How to install the processor on this ASUS barebone?

Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. For an Intel Pentium 4 (LGA775) processor, unlock the lever, remove the PnP cap, align the gold triangle on the CPU with the bottom-left corner of the socket, then close the plate and lever. For an AMD processor, lift the socket lever, place the CPU aligning the triangles, then lower the lever. Be careful not to bend the pins.

How to adjust the power supply voltage selector?

The power supply has a 115 V / 230 V selector near the power connector. If your region uses 100-127 V, set to 115 V; if it uses 200-240 V, set to 230 V. Consult the manual for exact location.

How to remove the side panel and front bezel?

Remove the screws at the back, slide the side panel backward to unclip it. For the front bezel, lift the chassis hooks, pivot to the right, then remove it.

How to install a DIMM memory module?

Unlock the DIMM socket clips by pushing them outward. Align the notch on the module with the key in the socket, then press it in until the clips close. Always unplug the power before adding or removing modules.

How to install a hard drive?

Remove the metal cover from the 3.5" bay. Insert the hard drive into the bay, align the screw holes, secure with two screws on each side. Connect SATA or IDE cables and the power cable to the back of the drive.

How to install an optical drive?

Remove the metal cover from the 5.25" bay. Insert the optical drive, align the screw holes, secure with two screws on each side. Connect the IDE cable and power cable to the back of the drive.

How to install an expansion card?

Remove the lock from the metal shields, take off the shield for the chosen slot. Insert the card into the slot pushing firmly, then replace the lock.

What to do if the computer does not start?

Check the voltage selector (115V/230V), make sure the power cable is plugged in. Verify that the processor, memory, and cards are properly installed. Try again after unplugging and replugging the power.

How to clean the computer?

Unplug the power. Use compressed air to dust the interior, especially the CPU fan, power supply, and bays. Clean connectors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture.

Where to find spare parts for this model?

Parts like the motherboard, CPU fan, power supply, and cables are standard components (ATX). You can find them at computer parts retailers or on the ASUS website. Use the model number V2P5G43 for exact references.

Selecting the voltage

The system's power supply unit has a 115 V/230 V voltage selector switch located beside the power connector. Use this switch to select the appropriate system input voltage according to the voltage supply in your area.

If the voltage supply in your area is 100-127 V, set the switch to 115 V.

If the voltage supply in your area is 200-240 V, set the switch to 230 V.

NOTE: Refer to the system User Guide for the exact location of the voltage selector.

Removing the side cover and front panel assembly

1. Remove the cover screws on the rear panel.
2. Pull the side cover toward the rear panel until its hooks disengage from the chassis tab holes. Set the side cover aside.
3. Locate the front panel assembly hooks, then lift them until they disengage from the chassis.
4. Swing the front panel assembly to the right, until the hinge-like tabs on the right side of the assembly are exposed.
5. Remove the front panel assembly, then set aside.

Installing a CPU

Installing an Intel Pentium 4 CPU in the LGA775 package

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you are installing a CPU.

1. Lift the load lever in the direction of the arrow to a 135^ angle.
2. Lift the load plate with your thumb and forefinger to a 100^ angle (4A), then push the PnP cap from the load plate window to remove (4B).
3. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom-left corner of the socket. Fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch.
4. Close the load plate (A), then push the load lever (B) until it snaps into the retention tab.

Installing an AMD CPU

1. Locate the CPU socket, then lift the socket lever to a 90^ angle.
2. Install the CPU to the socket, making sure that the CPU corner with the gold triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.
3. Push down the socket lever to secure the CPU.

CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU!

Installing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly

Installing an Intel® Pentium® 4 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.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.
3. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard.

Installing an AMD CPU heatsink and fan

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU.

IMPORTANT. Make sure that the fan and heatsink assembly perfectly fits the retention mechanism module base; otherwise you can not lock the retention bracket.

1. Attach one end of the retention bracket to the retention module base.
2. Attach the other end of the retention bracket (near the retention bracket lock) to the retention module base until it clicks in place.

NOTE. Your boxed CPU should come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan/heatsink assembly, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.

1. Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to secure the fan and heatsink to the module retention module base.
2. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard.

CAUTION. Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring error can occur if you fail to plug this connector.

Installing a DIMM

1. Locate the DIMM sockets in the motherboard.
2. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
3. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.
4. Push the DIMM to the socket until the retaining clips snap inward.

CAUTION:

• Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard and/or components.
• A DDR 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.
