Safety information
Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from
the electrical outlet before relocating the system.
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that
the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal
cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard,
ensure that all power cables are unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension
cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your
area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you
are using, contact your local power company.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact
a qualified service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully
read all the manuals that came with the package.
Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected
and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage,
contact your dealer immediately.
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from
connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the
product in any area where it may become wet.
Place the product on a stable surface.
If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a
qualified service technician or your retailer.

Chapter 1: Product
introduction
1-
1.1
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.
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
P5GC-TVM SE/S
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate
that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder
that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before
removing or plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below
shows the location of the onboard LED.

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.
1.2.1
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.
1.2.2
Screw holes
Place six (6) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.

1.3
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the
Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 775-land package.
1.3.1
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.
To install a CPU:

Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and
heatsink assembly
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that
a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU
before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

System memory
1.4.1
Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (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.
DIMM_B1
DIMM_A1
P5GC-TVM SE/S
1.4.2
Memory configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs into
the DIMM sockets.
1-12
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the next page
for details.
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2 GB
system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 memory modules.
1.4.3
The following table lists the memory modules that have been tested and qualified
for use with this motherboard. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the
latest DDR2 DIMM modules for this motherboard.

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.

Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following
subsections 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.

3.
Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep
the screw for later use.

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.
