Introduction
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the
BIOS will automatically record differ ent information about your system configuration and store this information in the DMI poo l, which is a part of the system
board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed for easy inventory, maintenance and the simplified troubleshooting of computer syst ems.
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) Port
One WOL connector supports Wake-On-LA N f unc tionality.
WOM (Wake-On-Modem) Port (optional)
One WOM connector supports Wake-On-Modem functionality.
USB Ports
USB allows data exchange between your computer and a wide range of
simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals. The
P4XA-AV
P4XA-BV
and USB 2 are external connectors. They can be found on the PC 99 ATX
connector. The other USB co nnectors are inter nal connectors and can be used to
connect other USB devices. (Cables for the internal connectors are sold
separately).
Please note that the internal USB connectors are non-standard. When
you purchase the cabl e please ensure that the connector on on e side of
the cable is compat ib l e with t he in t ernal USB co nnecto r a nd th e conn ector on the other side of the cable is a standard USB connector.

(
Optional
)
models support ATA/33, ATA/66 and
COM 1
and
COM 2
(UART).
1.4. System Health Monitor Functions
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the fo llowing health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.
The Hardware Monitoring System Utility
These mainboards comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained
on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as
the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and
chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the items being
monitored. If the values are over or under the se t range a war ning mess age will
automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default Settings, which
are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working cond ition.

Introduction
1.5. System Intelligence
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By Power-Button field of the Power
Management Setup, this switch allows the system to enter the Soft-Off or
Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring-on (opti onal)
The Modem Ring-on feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or
Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to incoming calls. This
feature s u pports the ext ernal modem on l y.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically
power-on at a set date and time.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power
Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support the remote wakeup function.
The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least 720mA.
ACPI Ready
The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuratio n and Power
Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support OS Direct
Power Management (OSPM) for round the clo ck PC operation.

Hardware Installation
2.4. CPU, Memory and Expansion Slots
2.4.1. Installation of the CPU
To install your processor, please complete the following set of instructions
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top of the CPU. This mark indicates
Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Locate Pin 1 for the Socket on the mainboard.
3. There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this leve r sideways
and then lift it to a 90-degree angle.
4. Insert the CPU into the Socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 for the CPU
is inserted into Pin 1 of the Socket.
5. When the CPU is installed correctly push the lever back into place .
6.
Install a proper heat sink with cooling fan
tion. Failing to install a heat sink with cooling fan may cause overheating which will burnout your CPU and damage your mainb oard. The heat
sink with cooling fan should be installed on the retention mechanism
that is provided. This retention mechanism is designed to hold the bigger Heat Sink that is required for the Pentium 4 CPU.
for proper heat dissipa-
Heat Sink and Retention Mechanism
You must use an Intel approv ed Heat Sink. This CPU op erates at a very
high frequency and therefore heats up very quickly. (A normal heat sink
will not be adequate to cool the CPU and the CPU will burn-out.) These
heat sinks are very heavy. A retention mechanism for the Heat Sink has
been provided with the mainboard.
2.4.2. Memory Modules
These mainboards all have three 184-pin DDR SDRAM slots. If registered DDR
SDRAM modules are used then they can support a maximum of 3 GB DRAM. If
unbuffered DDR SDRAM modules are used they c an support a maximum of 1.5
GB DRAM
The DDR SDRAM slots are located o n the right hand side of the b oard. To install
the DIMM’s into these slots, make sure the white lever at each side of the slot
has been pulled down to an angle of approximately 45°. Make sure that the
DIMM is in the correct or ientation. Place the DIMM on the slot and push down
firmly.The white levers will come back up and lock the module in plac e .
