Rear panel features

The rear panel includes the expansion slots, system power socket, and rear fans. The middle part includes the I/O shield with openings for the rear panel connectors on the motherboard.

Loosen the two thumbscrews on the rear panel to release the top cover from the chassis.

Thumbscrews

Firmly hold the cover and slide it toward the rear panel for about half an inch until it is disengaged from the chassis.

1/2 inch distance

Lift the cover from the chassis.

Installing the cover

Position the cover on top of the chassis with the thumbscrews on the rear, and leaving a gap of about half an inch from the front panel.

Side markings

Make sure that the side markings on the cover (two on each side) are aligned to the grooves on the chassis.

Grooves

Slide the cover toward the front until it snaps in place. Tighten the thumbscrews on the rear to secure the cover.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The system motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for Intel Pentium 4 or Pentium D processor in the 775-land package.
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: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

P5MT-R

P5MT-R CPU Socket 775
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.
Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.

Jumpers

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1) 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. Remove the onboard battery. 3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2. 4. Re-install the battery. 5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. 6. 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 on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

Clear CMOS

P5MT-R Clear RTC RAM

Normal (Default)

USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPW12, USBPW34) Set these jumpers to +5V to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode (CPU stopped, DRAM refreshed, system running in low power mode) using the connected USB devices. Set to +5VSB to wake up from S3 and S4 sleep modes (no power to CPU, DRAM in slow refresh, power supply in reduced power mode).

+5V (Default)

+5V (Default) +5VSB
P5MT-R USB device wake-up
The USB device wake-up feature requires a power supply that can provide 500mA on the +5VSB lead for each USB port; otherwise, the system would not power up. The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply capability (+5VSB) whether under normal condition or in sleep mode.
Keyboard power (3-pin KBPWR1) This jumper allows you to enable or disable the keyboard wake-up feature. Set this jumper to pins 2-3 (+5VSB) to wake up the computer when you press a key on the keyboard (the default is the Space Bar). This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 1A on the +5VSB lead, and a corresponding setting in the BIOS.
P5MT-R Keyboard power setting
Gigabit LAN1 controller setting (3-pin LAN_EN1) This jumper allows you to enable or disable the Broadcom Gigabit LAN controller that controls the LAN1 port. Place a jumper cap on pins 1-2 to activate the Gigabit LAN1 controller.

Enable (Default)

Disable
P5MT-R Gigabit LAN1 setting
Gigabit LAN2 controller setting (3-pin LAN_EN2) This jumper allows you to enable or disable the Broadcom Gigabit LAN controller that controls the LAN2 port. Place a jumper cap on pins 1-2 to activate the Gigabit LAN2 controller.

The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the L o a d S e t u p D e f a u l t s item under the Exit Menu. See section 5.7 Exit Menu. The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
