3.6.1 ASUS P2T-Cable
The ASUS P2T-Cable must be used to
allow thermal monitoring of the proces-
sor (only for motherboards with PCB
Rev. 1.01.P and earlier).
NOTE: The ASUS P2T-Cable can only
be used in a motherboard with a 2-pin
thermal sensor connector such as this
motherboard (the cable is not included on motherboards with PCB Rev. 1.02 and
later because the sensor is already built in. To check the PCB version, refer to 22)
IDE Activity LED in 3. HARDWARE SETUP).
To Use the ASUS P2T-Cable
NOTE: The following procedures assume that you have properly attached a
heatsink onto your processor.
1. Simply peel off the tab from the sensor and then stick the sensor on the proces-
sor heatsink nearest the processor.
