IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn
Thank you for choosing the P4VMM2 mainboard. This mainboard has a
Socket 478 for the Intel Pentium 4 type of processors supporting front side
bus (FSB) speeds up to 400/533 MHz.
This mainboard incorporates the VIA P4M266/A Northbridge and VT8235
Southbridge chipsets that support AC 97 audio codec, and provide Ultra DMA
33/66/100/133 function. It supports built-in USB 2.0 providing higher bandwidth. It implements Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 and is
compliant with UHCI 1.1 and EHCI 0.95. This mainboard has two 32-bit PCI
slots, one 4xAGP slot, one CNR (Communications and Networking Riser) slot,
and an onboard 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network interface (optional). In addition,
this mainboard has a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse
and keyboard, one serial port, one VGA port, one parallel port, one MIDI/game
port and maximum six USB ports (USB 2.0) --two back-panel ports and onboard USB headers make four extra USB ports by connecting the Extended
USB Module to the mainboard.

The P4VMM2 mainboard uses a mPGA 478 S ocket that has
the following features:
• Accommodat es Intel Pentium 4 478-pins CPU
• Supports “Hyper-Threading” technology CPU
• Supports a front-side bus (FS B) of 400/533 MHz
“Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating s ystem
into thinking it’s hooked up to two processors, allowing two
threads to be run in parallel, both on s eparate ‘logical’ processors within the same phys ical processor.
There are P4M266/A Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge in
this chipset in ac cordance with an innovative and scalable
architecture with proven reliability and performance. A f ew of
the chipset’s advanced f eatures are:
• An advanced V-Link memory controller archi tecture that
provides the bandwidth up to 533 MB/s and performance
necessary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D
graphics
• Support for an 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics and video performance
• An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps boost
system perform ance by providing a high-speed connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Dri ves , delivering maximum
sustained data transfer rat es of 133 MB/sec
Additional key features i nclude support for six USB ports, an
AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and
ACPI/OnNow power management.
The mainboard accommodates 2 DDR + 2 SDR 168 pin, 3.3V
DIMM sockets with a total capacity of 2 GB system memory.
• P4M266/A integrates S3
tor into a single chip. P 4M266/A bri ngs mainstream
graphics performance to the Value PC with leading-edge
2D, 3D and DVD video acceleration into a cost effecti ve
package. Based on its capabilities , P4M266/A is an ideal
solution for the consumer, corporate mobile users and entry-level professionals
• Maximum-shared m e mory size is 32 MB
This mainboard includes a 4x AGP slot that provides four times
the bandwidth of the original AGP spec i fication. AGP technol ogy provides a direct connecti on bet ween the graphics subsystem and memory so that the graphics do not have to compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
• Compliant with AC’97 2.1 specification
• 16-bit stereo full-duplex CODEC with fixed 48KHz sam-
pling rate
• 3 analog line-level stereo inputs with 5-bit volume cont rol :

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard complies with the specifications for the Micro-ATX system case. Some features on
the mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to
indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient
power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.
This mainboard has a Micro-ATX form factor of 244 mm x 244 mm. Choose a
case that accommodates this form factor.

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
• W ear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.
• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:
This illustration shows an example of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:
Note: Do not overtighten
the screws as this
can stress the mainboard.
Most system cases have
mounting brackets i nstalled in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount ing brackets with screws.
2. Secure the mainboard with
screws where approp ria t e .
1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the mainboard.
Setting Jumpers
Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPE N.
Short Open
This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

This jumper is to clear the contents of CMOS memory. You may need to clear
the CMOS memory if the settings in the Setup Utility are incorrect that prevents your mainboard from operating. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect
all the power cables from the mainboard and then move the jumper cap into
the CLEAR setting for a few seconds. This jumper enables you to reset BIOS.
JP1A1/ JP1B1
This jumper enables you to select the CPU frequency. Both jumpers should
be set concurrently.
JP1: DRAM Voltage (VCC)
This jumper enables to select voltage of DRAM.
J2A/B/C/D, J3A/B/C/D: DDR/SDR DRAM Type Selector
This jumper enables to select the type of DDR or SDR DRAM.
