Serial ATA solution, RAID 0 support

The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA) specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface. The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. With the Intel motherboard supports RAID 0 configuration using SATA drives.

ICH5R controller onboard, the

Ai NET solution

The Ai Series supports Gigabit LAN by integrating the 3Com controller, equipped with a unique net-diagnosing utility - VCT (Virtual Cable Tester). VCT intelligently diagnoses and reports cable faults from a remote location up to 100 meters and helps users improve network quality. See page 5-39.

3C940

AGP 8X support

AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up

to 2.12 GB/s.

1-2

Chapter 1: Product introduction

Ai Audio solution

The SoundMAX-class ADI AD1985 AC ‘97 audio CODEC supports 6-channel 5.1 surround sound output, stereo microphone input, variable sample rate conversion (SRC), professional quality 103-dB out put with 94-dB SNR, and analog enumeration capability. The SoundMAX 4 XL software features the AudioESP™ (Audio Enumeration and Sensing Process) that allows intelligent detection of the peripherals plugged into the audio ports and identifies the incompatible devices, if any. See page 5-21

Ai BIOS solution

The Ai BIOS is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions: CrashFree BIOS2, Q-Fan technology and POST Reporter.

Dual Channel UltraATA 133 RAID support

This motherboard incorporates the high-performance VIA RAID controller, which supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD for a balance of hard disk performance and data protection.

VT6410 IDE

IEEE 1394 support

The IEEE 1394 interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE 1394 interface allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-32.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 - supporting up to 8 USB 2.0 ports. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation scanners and printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB

1.1. See page 2-30.

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe motherboard user guide

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and BIOS automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter.

ASUS POST Reporter

P4P800 Deluxe offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST Reporter to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the PowerOn Self-Tests (POST). Through an added external speaker, you will hear the messages informing you of the system boot status and causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software allows you to customize the voice messages, and provides multi-language support.

ASUS MyLogo2™

This new feature present in the P4P800 Deluxe motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See details on pages 4-34 and 5-8.

ASUS Multi-language BIOS

The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice from the available options. The localized BIOS menus allow you to configure easier and faster. Visit the ASUS website for information on the supported languages.

ASUS EZ Flash BIOS

With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a floppy disk. See details on page 4-4.

1-4

Chapter 1: Product introduction

AI Overclocking

This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still maintaining system stability. See section “4.4.1 JumperFree Configuration” to set the BIOS items for overclocking.

ASUS Q-Fan technology

The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation. See details on page 4-30.

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See details on page 4-5.

ASUS J-Panel

This optional device is designed for ASUS motherboards with USB, S/PDIF or Intel Front Panel audio connector for additional front I/O connectors.

Instant Music

This unique feature allows you to playback audio files even without booting the system to Windows™. Just press the ASUS Instant Music special function keys and enjoy the music! See details on page 5-14.

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe motherboard

2.1 Motherboard installation

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The P4P800 Deluxe uses the ATX form factor that measures 12 inches x 9.6 inches.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

2.1.1 Placement direction

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.

2.1.2 Screw holes

Place nine (9) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Place this side towards the rear of the chassis
