CAUTION!

1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please che ck page 28.

2. This motherboard supports U ntied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un­tied Overclocking Technology” on page 23 for details.

3. 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.

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 and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

5. 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 10 for
proper connection.

6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

P4Twins-HDTV is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 9.6-in, 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm)
motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-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.

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.

This motherboard adopts 478-pin CPU socket to support Intel® Pentium® 4 /
Celeron® 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 p.9 No. 5). For proper
installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and
the heatsink.

This motherboard is equipped with two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots
and two 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots.

1. It is not allowed to install DDR into DDRII slot or DDRII into DDR
slot;otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

2. It is not allowed to install both DDR and DDRII to this motherboard
at the same time; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be
damaged.

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.
