1.3Special features

1.3.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

The motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4/Celeron® processor with 512KB L2 cache and an 800/533/400 MHz system bus. The CPU features the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and a new power design that allows up to 3.2GHz core frequencies. The motherboard also supports the next generation Intel® Prescott CPU. P4P800S-E Deluxe supports all these features via the Intel 848P chipset for full-value, high performance desktop solution. See page 2-4.

DDR400 (PC3200) support

DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports bandwidth of up to 3.2 GB/s to provide enhanced system performance. See page 2-10.

Intel Gigabit LAN

The Intel® 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet controller allows full-duplex Gigabit performance on LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications through the Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA). Instead of connecting to the PCI bus, the controller connects to the dedicated CSA bus on the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) thus reducing PCI bottlenecks by freeing the PCI bus for other I/O operations.

AI Overclocking

The P4P800S-E Deluxe allows convenient overclocking options to enhance system performance while still maintaining system stability. See page 4-16.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic resetting to the BIOS previous setting in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the CMOS data. Simply restart the system and the BIOS would show the previous CPU parameter settings.

1-2	Chapter 1: Product introduction

AGP 8X support

The motherboard supports the latest graphic architecture, the AGP Pro/8X interface (a.k.a. AGP 3.0), offering 2.1GB/s bandwidth which is twice that of its predecessor AGP 4X. See page 2-16.

ASUS Wi-Fi slot

The ASUS proprietary Wi-Fi slot conforms to the IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless LAN and is specifically designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ addon card. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card comes with a bundled Software AP (Access Point) application to save stand-alone AP ownership costs.

The card also comes with user-friendly utilities and applications that allow quick wireless connections to notebooks, PDAs and other wireless LAN devices. This proprietary slot will support the IEEE 802.11g WiFi-b™ card when available. See page 2-17.

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard supports the new Serial ATA technology through the SATA interfaces and the Intel ICH5R onboard, and allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-22.

8 USB ports

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. See page 2-26.

IEEE 1394 support

The IEEE 1394 interfaces and the VIA 6307 controller onboard provide high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE 1394 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 2-21.

AI Audio technology

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 94dB 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 5-19.

ASUS Instant Music Lite

This unique feature allows you to playback audio files even before entering the operating system. Just press the ASUS Instant Music Lite special function keys and enjoy the music! See page 5-22.

AI BIOS solution

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

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD, or from a bootable floppy disk, when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 4-5.

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 page 4-32.

ASUS POST Reporter™

The motherboard offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the Power-On Self-Tests (POST) informing you of the system boot status and causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software lets you to customize the voice messages in different languages. See page 3-2 and 5-15.

1-4	Chapter 1: Product introduction

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 page 4-4.

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. See page 4-10.

ASUS MyLogo2

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. The ASUS MyLogo2 is automatically installed when you install the ASUS Update utility from Utilities menu in the support CD. See page 5-8.

1.3.2 Value-added solutions

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

ACPI ready

The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy saving features for operating systems that support OS Directed Power Management (OSPM).

Chassis intrusion detection

The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the Winbond ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in CMOS for more protection.

ASUS Update

This utility allows you to update the motherboard BIOS through a user-friendly interface. Connect to the Internet then to the ASUS FTP site nearest you to obtain the latest BIOS version for your motherboard.

ASUS P4P800S-E Deluxe motherboard

2.1Motherboard installation

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The motherboard uses the ATX form factor that measures 12 inches x 9.6 inches (30.5 cm x 24.5 cm).

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

2.3Before you proceed

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.Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

3.Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

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

5.Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply 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.

When lit, the green LED (SB_PWR1) indicates that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.
