1: Introduction
This is the User’s Manual is for the both the mP4G and mP4GL motherboards. Anything in this manual that only applies to one board is clearly noted. Please read this chapter before you use your motherboard and identify which parts of the manual you will need to refer to. Please pay particular attention to the Critical Topics section.

Manual Structure

This manual has seven chapters covering the following topics:
Chapter 1: Introduction Explains the manual structure and conventions and indi-
cates the most important topics in the manual. In addi­tion, there is a list of what you should find in the motherboard package and some pointers on things to do before you configure or install the board.
Chapter 2: Key Features & Components Details the motherboard’s hardware features and impor-
tant components and indicates their locations. Describes the support software that comes with the board on the Power Installer support CD-ROM disc.
Chapter 3: Motherboard Configuration Lists the motherboard’s default configuration and con-
figuration options. Chapter 4: Installing The Motherboard Has information on how to prepare and install the

Chapter 6: Using The Motherboard Explains system operation features that derive from the
motherboard. Has information on performance optimi­zation and troubleshooting.
Chapter 7: Technical Information Lists the motherboard’s technical specifications.

Manual Features

This User’s Manual is intended to be useful and informa­tive while also making it easy to quickly find specific information or specifications. The manual has icons and notes in the sidebar to note important topics, indicate warnings or further explain and illustrate points. We suggest that most users review the manual to become familiar with the motherboard. Expert users may w ant to review topics selectively, as needed.

If The Motherboard Is Already Installed

You may receive the motherboard installed in a working system. If this is the case, you should still probably re­view the sections on configuring and using the board, especially if an Operating System is not installed yet.

If You Need To Install This Motherboard

We recommend that only experienced users and techni­cians install this motherboard. Otherwise, we suggest having a qualified computer technician install and con­figure the system. This service is usually provided at a nominal fee by better computer stores and service com­panies.

2: Key F eatures & Components

Intel 845G/GL Chipsets

The mP4G and Mp4GL motherboards use variations of the Intel 845 Chipset, a multi-function chipset for higher­end performance and mainstream systems. The mP4G uses the 845G chipset and the mP4GL uses the 845GL.
Both chipsets include a high performance onboard dis­play graphics controller. The difference between the two is that the 845G chipset on the mP4G supports the use of an AGP display card installed in the AGP slot, while the 845GL chipset on the mP4GL does not. The 845GL chipset only allows the use of a DVI interface display card (for LCD flat-panel displays) or a TV-Out card in the onboard AGP slot.
The components of the chipset components include the following devices mounted on the board:
mP4G –
• North Bridge: 82845G Memory Controller Hub
(533MHz FSB)
• South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) mP4GL –
• North Bridge: 82845GL Memory Controller Hub
(400MHZ FSB)
• South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) The chipset provides host bus, memory, AGP, and I/O
interfaces.

Winbond Super I/O

Both motherboards also use the Winbond W83637HF Super I/O controller chip, which has the following func­tions:
• Hard wa re m o ni t or
• Memory Stick/Secure Digital interface
• Smart Card interface
