single-sided DIMMs when the DDR DRAM interface is
operating at 133 MHz. Installing DDR DIMM modules that
exceed these specifications requires that the BIOS down-shifts
the DRAM clocks to 100 MHz through a two-wire interface of
the system clock generator.

2.4. Microprocessor

The motherboard is designed to operate with the following
processor:

Processor Type Speed FSB

Intel Pentium 4 1.7GHz~3.06GMHz+ 400, 533 MHz

An onboard switching voltage regulator provides the required 1.1 to

1.85 volts for the processor. The processor sends five VID (Voltage
identification) signals to the switching voltage regulator. The
switching regulator generates the correct voltage for the processor.

2.5. CPU Packaging

The motherboard’s CPU socket is a surface mount, mPGA478B type
ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket. The socket has 478 pins with 50
mil pin pitch.

Note:

ZIF sockets are sockets designed for easy insertion of pin
grid array (PGA) chips. The chip is dropped into the
socket, and a lever is used to secure the chip in place.

Introduction

2.6. AC 97 Codec

This motherboard features the AC 97 (ALC650) codec. The AC 97
(ALC650) Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2..2
specification, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)
and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit
stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sampling
rates. Further features include support for four analog line-level
stereo inputs.

chassis. The chassis comes with various mounting fasteners, which
are made of metal or plastic. It is highly recommended to use as
many metal fasteners as possible to mount the motherboard in the
chassis for better grounding.
To install the motherboard you need to install the CPU and DDR
memory modules, attach the connectors.

is designed to fit into a special ATX form factor

3.3. Safety Measures

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are
still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the simple guidelines below to avoid damaging you
computer:

z Always disconnect the motherboard from the ATX power

supply, and disconnect the computer from the power outlet
whenever you are working inside the computer case.

z If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are

installing the motherboard or working inside the computer
case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the computer case, or the bare metal
body of ay other grounded appliance.

z Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch

the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so.
Do not flex or stress the circuit board.

z Leave each component inside the static-proof packaging that it

ships with until you are ready to use the component for the
installation.
