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.
Remove the DIMM from the socket. 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.
Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card. Remove the system unit cover if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis. 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. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier. After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page. Install the software drivers for the expansion card. 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. With two graphics cards installed, the motherboard can enable dual display.
This motherboard also supports a Universal PCI Express x16 slot with a maximum speed of x4 or x1 link. The operating frequency of this slot changes depending on the type of PCI Express card you install. See page for the connector location. This is a reminder that you should reinstall these devices. Refer to the figure below for the location of the LEDs.
When the AI Slot Detector lights up for incorrect installation, make sure to shut down the power supply unit before reinstalling the card to avoid electrical shock hazard.
Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. Move the jumper cap from pins default to pins Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

Q-connectors are plastic blocks that act as a bridge between the front panel cables from the computer case to the motherboard headers on the PCB. Cabling is kept nice and clean with a mixture of right-angle and straight SATA cables included.
The rest of the cables are kept on the edge of the PCB, and are perpendicular to the expansion slots. While these passive heat-pipes are designed to leave clearance for any socket cooler, the P5E3's four-sided cooling design may pose a problem for owners of DDR3 memory which use mounted fans, or DIMMS of memory with particularly large heatsinks. There's simply not a lot of clearance between the RAM and the side of the heatpipe grills. Like all passive heatpipes, this system is only effective when used in conjunction with an active fan for cooling, which in most cases will be a standard CPU heatsink-fan combo that pushes air over the heatpipes and grills, circulating cold air and allowing the heat to dissipate.
This means that owners of water-cooled systems will need additional cooling for their chipset, and not surprisingly ASUS has accommodated them. These miniature fans can be attached to one of the P5E3 Premium's five plugs for three-pin fans. In addition, each fan can be manually adjusted in the BIOS for speed and noise tweaking. Note that these fans shouldn't be used in a case that's already ventilated by a regular air cooler.
