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 L2 cache on 0.13 micron processor includes a 800/533/400 MHz system bus, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and the FMB2 power design that allows up to 3.2+ GHz core frequencies for up to 6.4GB/s data transfer rates. See page 1-6.

Dual Channel DDR memory support

Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the P4S800D-X motherboard supports up to 4GB of system memory using PC3200/PC2700/ PC2100/PC1600 DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 1-8.

1-2

Chapter 1: Product introduction

SiS® HyperStreaming Architecture

The SiS® 655FX integrates the latest HyperStreaming Engine which greatly improves computer system performance. The HyperStreaming Engine smartly manages the data streaming to flow smoothly from the peripherals to the core logic chipsets between the North and South bridge to the Front Side Bus, memory and graphic interface.

Serial ATA solution with RAID 0, RAID 1 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, and software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. With the integrated controller in the SIS 964 chipset, the motherboard supports RAID0, RAID1 configuration using SATA drives. See pages 1-19.

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.

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.

8 USB 2.0 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. 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 1-17.

6-channel digital audio

The ADI AD1888 SoundMAX AC ‘97 audio CODEC is onboard to provide 6channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound, and over 90dB dynamic range.

ASUS MyLogo2™

This new feature present in the P4S800D-X motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See details on page 2-27.

S/PDIF out

The motherboard supports S/PDIF out function that turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful sound systems.

ASUS P4S800D-X motherboard

1-3

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’s previous setting for each parameter.

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 2-5.

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 special function keys and enjoy the music! See page 2-21.

1.4 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

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, the 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.

1.7.2 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. Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations in Table 1.

2. In dual-channel configurations, always install an identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pair on sockets of the same color.

3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

9. Obtain DDR DIMMs only from ASUS qualified vendors. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the latest QVL.

1.7.3 Installing a DIMM

Follow these steps to install a DIMM.

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

1.9 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC1)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to

re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC1 jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

P4S800D-X Clear RTC RAM setting

You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
