Special Features of the System Board

Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The system board currently supports the physical layer of x1 and x16 lane widths.
Introduction
1
The x1 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI Express lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
The graphics flexibility of the built-in Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 supports enhanced 2D, 3D and video capabilities. It also support widescreen LCD displays, accelerated DirectX* 9 3D and PCI Express graphics cards.
Hyper-Threading Technology Functionality Requirements
The system board supports Intel processors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following platforms.
Components:
CPU - an Intel
Chipset - an Intel® chipset that supports HT Technology
BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled
OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT Technology
®
Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology

Introduction
Please refer to Appendix A for information a bout enabling the func­tionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.
CPU Overheat Protection
CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s temperature during system boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment.
DDR2
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
6-channel Audio
The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only when the audio utility is configured to support this function. The mic­in at the rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
12
Introduction
Serial ATA Interface
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to 3Gb/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
IrDA Interface
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
USB Ports
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/ second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

Introduction
Wake-On-Ring
This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external modem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC.
Important:
If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support a minimum of ≥720mA.
Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is suppor ted via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
720mA.
Wake-On-PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse
This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
720mA.
Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.
Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.

Hardware Installation
11. Push the lever down to lock the socket. The lever should hook onto the side tab to indicate that the CPU is completely secured in the socket.
Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
Use only certified fan and heat sink.
The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and
heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the installation guide in the package.
1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal
paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
26
Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
Hardware Installation
2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 studs around the heat sink which are used to secure the heat sink onto the system board must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket.
Position each stud so that the groove faces the heat sink then push it down firmly until it clicks into place.
Note:
You will not be able to secure the fan and heat sink assembly in place if the groove is not facing the heat sink.
