Please read the users guide before proceeding with your
installations. Serious damage may occur if the procedure is not
followed properly.
This motherboard does not support CPUs with a Vcore higher than 1.6
volts. Please make sure the CPU you are using 1.6 volts or below.
Check the CPU specification before you insert it in the CPU socket.
at 1.5v (most 4x or 8x AGP cards) are supported on this motherboard.
Please make sure that your memory modules are inserted correctly.
They can go in only one way, and should fit completely in the socket
without sticking out. Failure to do so will damage your motherboard
and memory module.
An ATX 12V power supply (Power supply for Pentium 4 system) is
required for the system to operate normally. (Preferably 350 watts for
minimal loading or 400 watts for fully loaded system).
If you have any problem getting your system to work, please follow the
troubleshooting tips in your user manual.
On some motherboards, the actual chipset cooler may differ from the
chipset cooler as shown on the picture or on the box. However, the
chipset fan on the motherboard is of the same quality and will work just
as well as the one shown in the picture. (The chipset cooler is as
sufficient as the chipset fan based on a different design.)

1-4 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules while
unpacking: Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping an
unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.
Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the
Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.
Check the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears loose, contact
your dealer or our tech support immediately.

Warn in g
If there is damage to the board, contact your dealer immediately.
: Do not apply power if the Motherboard appears damaged.
1-5 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to ground yourself before handling the Motherboard or other
system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the
components. Note that you must take special precautions when handling the
Motherboard in dry or air-conditioned environment.
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the following
precautions:
Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install. Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer
chassis.)
Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap. Handle the Motherboard by its edges and avoid touching its
components.

2-2 INSTALLATION GUIDE
We will now begin the installation of the Motherboard. Please follow the
step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct
installation.
Step1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
Step2- Install memory modules.
Step3- Install expansion cards.
Step4- Connect cables, case wires, and power supply.
Step5- Power on and enter BIOS setup .
Step6- Install supporting software tools. See Chapter 4 for more info.
Warn in g: Turn off the power to the Motherboard, system chassis,
and peripheral devices before performing any work on the
Motherboard or system.
BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
Step 1 Install the CPU
CPU Mount Procedure: To mount the Pentium® 4 Socket mPGA478
processor that you have purchased separately, follow these instructions.
1. Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.
14
Page 20
Hardware Installation
SY- P4I865PE Plus DRAGON 2
2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole distinctive
edge on the socket.
3. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing.

Hardware Installation
4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place.
SY- P4I865PE Plus DRAGON 2
Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate
power connector on the Motherboard. The fan is a key
component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents
overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
CPU Fan Installation
Your Socket 478 processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on
the processor according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
The fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. The fan
prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
Note: Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power source.

Step 2 Install Memory Module
DDR_A1 DDR_A2
DDR_B1
This motherboard supports one Dual Channel to your memory, Note that
you can use normal DDR memory for Dual Channel to work. Also note that
for Dual Channel to work 2 modules of equal size and specifications have to
be installed.
The largest memory capacity possible is 3 GB. On this motherboard,
DRAM speed can be set independent form the CPU front side bus speed.
Note that when installing 3GB of memory, your total memory will be less
than 3GB. The reason for this is that the BIOS, PCI and AGP cards claim
part of your CPUs address space.

If you want to use the Dual Channel feature, please follow the memory
configuration table below:

Installing your memory in a combination different from the table above will
still allow your system to work. The Dual Channel feature will not work
then however.
Memory frequency Table
Depending on the front side bus (FSB) frequency of the CPU, you can run
memory of different speeds. Please look at the table below for details:

Step 3 Installation of Expansion Cards
The motherboard has 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before inserting
the expansion card into the computer.
2. Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion slot in the
motherboard.
3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are seated in the slot.
4. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
5. Install required driver for the operating system you use.
This motherboard only support 1.5V AGP card (4X/8X card). If 3.3V
AGP card is used, the system will not boot-up and the AGPDET LED
will lit.
If use 3.3V AGP card,the system will not power on and the AGPDET LED will lit.
