* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at

DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.

3. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

4. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!

5. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

6. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU

Chapter 2 Installation

P4i48 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 7.0-in, 30.5 cm x 17.8 cm) motherboard. Before
you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com­ponents or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti­static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.

2.1 CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner

matches the base of the socket lever.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down

the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.

to The Socket Marked Corner

STEP 4:
Push Down And Lock

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

This motherboard adopts 478-pin CPU socket to support Intel® Pentium®4
CPU. It requires larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also
need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to
improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are
securely fastened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the
CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see page 8, No. 29). For
proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the
CPU fan and the heatsink.
