Frequently Asked Questions - V3P5G45 ASUS

How to choose the power supply voltage (115V or 230V)?

Locate the voltage selector near the power connector. If your region uses 100-127V, set it to 115V; for 200-240V, set to 230V. Refer to the manual for the exact location.

How to install the processor on the motherboard?

Lift the socket lever, align the gold triangle on the CPU with the one on the socket, then lower the lever. For Intel LGA775, first remove the PnP cap and follow the specific procedure. Never force to avoid damaging the pins.

How to install memory modules (DIMM)?

Disconnect power. Open the socket clips, align the notch on the module with the tab, then gently push down until the clips automatically close.

How to install a hard drive or optical drive?

For a 3.5" hard drive, remove the metal cover, insert the drive into the bay, secure it with two screws on each side, then connect the SATA/IDE and power cables. For a 5.25" optical drive, the procedure is similar.

How to remove the side panel and front panel?

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

What types of expansion cards can be installed?

The case supports PCI, PCIe x1 and PCIe x16 cards. Remove the metal bracket from the corresponding slot, insert the card, then lock it.

How to connect the processor fan?

After installing the heatsink, connect the fan cable to the CPU_FAN connector on the motherboard. Do not forget this step to avoid a hardware monitoring error.

Can I use a SATA and IDE hard drive at the same time?

Yes, the motherboard has both SATA and IDE connectors. Make sure to configure the master/slave jumpers correctly for IDE drives.

Where to find the manual in French?

The manual is available in PDF format on notice-facile.com. You can also request a translation by email by selecting your language.

What to do if the computer does not start after assembly?

Check the power cable connection, the voltage selector position, the CPU and memory module installation, and the connection of the Power button to the motherboard.

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.
