1.3 Special features

Latest processor technology

The motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor via a 478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium® 4 processor with 512KB cache on 0.13 micron process and the 1MB L2 cache on 0.09 micron processor includes a 800/533/400 MHz system bus, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and the FMB2 power design that allows up to 3.6+ GHz of core frequency. See page 1-7.

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 1-9.

1-2

Chapter 1: Product introduction

Serial ATA solution

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, and software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. See page 1-22.

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-6.

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. With a bus of 533Mhz, AGP 8X is twice as fast as AGP 4X. See page 1-14.

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. See page 1-16.

10/100 Mbps LAN support

Easy connectivity to your network or broadband connection with the onboard LAN port. See pages 1-17, 3-3.

6-channel digital audio

The ADI AD1888 AC’97 audio CODEC onboard provides 6-channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound using digital audio devices via a Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) jack located at the rear panel I/O. See pages 1-17, 3-3.

ASUS MyLogo™

This feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 2-29.

1.4 Before 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.

Onboard LED

The motherboard comes with a stand-by power LED. When lit, this green LED 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. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

1.6.1 Overview

The Intel® Pentium® 4 Northwood/Willamette/Prescott processors has a gold triangular mark on one corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a specific corner of the CPU socket.

P4P800S-X

Gold Arrow

P4P800S-X Socket 478

Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU!

Notes on Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

1. This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium 4 CPUs with Hyper-Threading Technology.

2. Make sure to enable the Hyper-Threading Technology item in the BIOS before installing a supported operating system. See section “2.4.2 CPU Configuration” for details.

3. To verify the Hyper-Threading feature, go to the Windows OS System Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Processors. The list should display two existing processors.

4. Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows® XP™ and later versions only.

5. It is recommended that you install Windows® XP™ Service Pack 1.

6. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, visit www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

To use the Hyper-Threading Technology on this motherboard:

1. Buy an Intel Pentium 4 CPU that supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Install the CPU.

2. Power up the system and enter BIOS Setup (see Chapter 2). Under the Advanced Menu, make sure that the item Hyper-Threading Technology is set to Enabled. The item appears only if you installed a CPU that supports HyperThreading Technology.

3. Reboot the computer.

1.6.2 Installing the CPU

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard.

2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°100° angle.

Socket Lever

Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to 90°-100° angle, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely.

3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever.

90 -100

Gold Mark

4. 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 prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!

5. When the CPU is in place, push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan following the instructions that came with the heatsink package.

7. Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

1. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

2. When installing long AGP cards, it is recommended to install the memory modules first. Long AGP cards, when installed, may interfere with the memory sockets.

1.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Important notes

1. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. See the DDR400 Qualified Vendor List (QVL) on page 1-10.

2. Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus). Refer to Table 1.

3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS Latency.

4. Double-sided DDR DIMMs with x16 (data bus=16bit) memory chips are not supported due to chipset limitation.

Table 1 Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization

This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.

CPU FSB DDR DIMM Type Memory Frequency

800 MHz PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 400/320*/266 MHz 533 MHz PC2700/PC2100 333/266 MHz 400 MHz PC2100/PC1600 266/200 MHz

*When using 800 MHz FSB CPU, PC2700 DDR DIMMs run only at 320MHz (not 333MHz) due to chipset limitation.
