CAUTION!
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 23
of “User Manual” in the Support CD.
2. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB FrequencyMemory Support Frequency
800DDR266, DDR320
533DDR266, DDR333
400DDR266
* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 8 for proper installation.
4. 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 a nd the he atsink when you install the PC syste m.
5. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/
ME.
7. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for
proper connection.
8. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU
bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the
CPU.
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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
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
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o 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.
Step 5. Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to
the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
P4i65PE motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you
always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR
DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical
DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.2 No. 5) oridentical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots; see p.2
No. 6), so that Dual Cha nnel Me mory T echnology can be activated. This motherboard
also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please
install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel
Memory Configuration Table below.
1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility
and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the
same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots
(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4).
2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed
in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate
the Dual Channel Memory T e chnology.
3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1
and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory
Technology.

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break
on the slot.
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into
the slot at incorrect orientation.
Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper
cap to short the pins on CLRCMOS0 for 3 seconds. Please remember to
remove the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the
