2.1 Features and Specifications

2.1.1 Features

Chipset

• VIA® P4X266E/VT8235CD

Processor

The mainboard is equipped with Socket 478 for installing a Pentium

®

4 or Celeron® processor.

• Intel® Pentium® 4 processor (478-pin)

- 533MHz system data bus - supports up to 2.53 GHz CPU
speed

- 400MHz system data bus - supports up to 2.4 GHz CPU
speed

• Intel® Celeron® processor (478-pin)

- 400MHz system data bus - supports up to 1.7 GHz CPU
speed

Important:

The frequency ratio of some processors may have been locked
by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of processor,
setting an extended ratio for the processor will have no effect.
The system will instead use its factory default ratio.

System Memory

Expansion Slots

The mainboard is equipped with 1 universal AGP slot and 5
dedicated PCI slots.

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D
graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system
memor y for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal
AGP slot supports AGP 2x with up to 533MB/sec. bandwidth and
AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics
applications. AGP in this mainboard will deliver faster and better
graphics to your PC.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The mainboard comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI
utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about
your system configuration and stores this information in the DMI
pool, which is a par t of the mainboard's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI,
along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to
make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer
systems easier.

2.1.2 Intelligence

Dual Function Power Button

Depending on the setting in the “Soft-Off By PWRBTN” field of the
Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to enter

the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.

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
through an internal or external modem.

Important:

If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source
of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Wake-On-LAN

The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake
up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must suppor t
the remote wakeup function.

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 wake up the system from the S5 state.

Important:

• If you forgot the password, you must power-off the system,
unplug the power cord and clear the CMOS data. Follow
the settings in the “Clearing CMOS Data” section in chapter

1.

• The 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support ≥720mA.

Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse

The Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function allows you to use a
USB keyboard/Mouse to wake up a system that is in 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.

• If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse
function for 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB power source
of your power supply must support ≥2A.

RTC Timer to Power-on the System

The RTC installed on the mainboard allows your system to auto­matically power-on on the set date and time.

ACPI STR

The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configur a­tion and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving fea­tures that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug­and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management. Currently, only Windows
