Introduction
Intel® Pentium® 4 processors
The Intel Pentium 4 processor, Intel's most advanced, most powerful processor for
desktop PCs and entry-level workstations, is based on Intel NetBurst
microarchitecture. The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance
across applications and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience
the performance. These applications include Internet audio and streaming video,
image processing, video content creation, speech, 3D, CAD, games, multimedia, and
multi-tasking user environments. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class
performance for consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users
as well as for entry-level workstation users.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor
family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function as
two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.
For more information about all the new features the Pentium 4 delivers check out
the Intel website at http://www.intel.com

Chipset Components
This board is designed with Intel® 865G (Springdale-G) chipset. The Intel® 865G chipset
consists of the Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O Controller Hub
(ICH5/R).
Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
The GMCH provides the interconnect between the AGP, DDR SDRAM and the
system logic. It integrates:
- Supports for single processor with a data transfer rate of 400/533/800MHz.
- Supports dual channel of 266/333/400 DDR SDRAM up to 2GB.
- 8X/4X 1.5V AGP interface (Only support 1.5V on AGP interface).
- Downstream hub link for access to the ICH5/R.
I/O Controller Hub (ICH5/R)
The I/O controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the
system. Additionally, it integrates many I/O functions:
Page 1-2
Introduction
- Upstream hub link for access to the GMCH
- 2-Channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller
- USB controller
- SMBus controller
- LPC / Flash BIOS interface
- PCI 2.3 interface
- Integrated System Management Controller
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. This
new specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification by
allowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock) resulting in maximum band-
width of 2.1GB/s. In addition, it defines 1.5 volt power supply operation. Complying
with this specification, this board supports external AGP-8X/4X cards with Fast
Write Transactions. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.
Ultra ATA/66/100
The ICH5/R provides an Ultra ATA/66/100 Bus Master IDE controller. This controller
supports Ultra ATA/66/100 protocols which are ideal to support demanding applica-
tions such as real-time video, multimedia, and a high performance operating system.
A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA/66/100; this cable is an 80-pin conductor
cable which is backward compatible with ATA/33 connectors.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation
and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
LAN (Optional)
This mainboard is optionally mounted with a LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to
connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
Page 1-3
Introduction
Serial ATA
The evolutionary serial ATA interface replaces the standard parallel ATA physical
storage interface. The serial ATA specification provides scalability and allows
future enhancements to the computing platform. Serial technology overcomes
performance limits of parallel interface architecture, meeting the escalating need for
faster data throughput in servers and storage devices.
Serial ATA is completely software compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no
modification to your operating system. The serial ATA interface cable requires lower
voltages and uses smaller cable connectors, providing ease of installation. You can
easily upgrade storage devices that are compatible with the serial ATA interface
specification.
Page 1-4
Introduction
Mainboard Form-Factor
This board is designed with M-ATX form factor - the latest industry standard for
chassis design. The M-ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard
rotated 90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away
from the expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards.
M-ATX defines a double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be
used to host a wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this
aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV
input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, audio, etc.) to systems. This will help
systems integrators differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better
meet your needs.
• By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard
drive and floppy connectors material cost of cables and add-in cards is
reduced.
• By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufacturing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will
increase.
• By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs
and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a sidemounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making
a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
This board has a 20-pin ATX and a 4-pin ATX12V power supply connector (Figure
4). For power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be
connected to the mainboard front panel PW_ON connector for the computer power
On/Off button.
The board has been designed with “Soft Off" function. You can turn off the system
in two ways: by pressing the front panel power On/Off button or using the "Soft
Off" function (incorporated in the mainboard’s onboard circuit controller) that can
be controlled by an operating system such as Windows®XP/ME/2000/98/95.
Note: For maintaining the DDR SDRAM power during STR (ACPI S3) function, it is
strongly recommended to use power supplies that have a +5VSB current of (>
=) 2A. Please check the 5VSB’s specification that has been printed on the
power supply’s outer case.
Note: The board requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your
system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may
exceed the minimum power requirement but to ensure that adequate power is
provided, use a 300 Watt (or greater) power supply. Also your power supply
must support 4-pin ATX 12V connector.

Keyboard Power ON Functions (KBPO)
Modem-Ring Power ON Function
The I/O chipset provides the two serial ports with the External Modem Ring-in Power
ON function. Once you connect an external modem to COM1 or COM2, the
mainboard enables you to turn on the system through remote and host dial-up
control.
Keyboard Power ON Function
The mainboard features a keyboard power on function that enables you to turn on
the power supply using a keypress. Follow these instructions to enable the Key-
board Power ON function .
Step : Use the Keyboard Power ON function (KBPO) to turn on the system by using
a key press, password, or hot key combination etc. as set in the BIOS Power
Management Setup menu (refer to the BIOS Power Management Setup for
details). The BIOS default setting is keyboard Hot key (<Ctrl> + <F1>). To power
off the system, use the Soft-OFF function under Windows XP/ME/2000/98.
(refer to Windows online help).
NOTES:
• Intel ATX version 2.0 specification recommends a power supply that
supplies >=2.0 A in 5.0 VSB. However, this mainboard supports a 5.0
VSB standby power supply > = 2A .
• We recommend you use the power supply with 2.0 A in 5.0 VSB, which
supports PCI 2.3 specification for remote power-on and wake-up
functions.

BIOS SETUP
Main Menu
The ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program which allows user to modify the
basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data is stored in
a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned
off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless
there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a
device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens
you will need install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure your BIOS settings.
The BIOS setup screen and description are for reference only, and may
not exactly match what you see on your screen. The contents of BIOS are
subject to change without notice. Please visit our website for updates.

4-10 Supervisor/User Password Setting
These items are used to install a password. A Supervisor password takes prece-
dence over a User password, and the Supervisor limits the activities of a User.
You can set either a supervisor or user password, or both of them:
Supervisor password: authorized to enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
User password: authorized to enter, but not authorized to change the
options of the setup menus.
When you select Set User/Supervisor Password, the following message appears
prompting you to type a password:
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password
typed now clears any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be
prompted to confirm the password. Type the password and press <Enter>. You may
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password.
A message will confirm the password is disabled:
PASSWORD DISABLED.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you
try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request
a password every time your system is rebooted. This prevents unauthorized use of
your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup menu
“Security” option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only
occurs when trying to enter Setup.

How to Reinstall Windows in 2 Minutes
This chapter guides you how to setup your computer properly and, if
necessary, reinstall Windows in 2 minutes. Ghost provides different
methods to complete this task. The following two sections explain how to
create an emergency Recover Floppy and Recover CD:
Emergency Recover Floppy
Divide a hard disk into two partitions. The first partition is to store the
operating system and application programs. The second partition is to back
up the operating system and data. The size of the partition can be
determined according to the backup requirements. For example, the
Windows operating system needs 200MB of hard disk space, Plus
complete Office programs require 360MB. The remaining space can be
used to store data.
After installing Windows, use Ghost to create a backup area for the system
and to store the file (Image file) in drive D. The file is named Original.gho.
Then, create a recover floppy disk containing:
Bootable files (Command.com, Io.sys, and MSDOS.SYS )
Config.sys (configuration setup file)
Autoexec.bat (auto-execution batch file)
Ghost.exe (Ghost execution file)
There are two ways to create the content of the recover floppy for
restoring:
(1)To load Windows automatically after booting, store the Autoexec.
bat file with a command line:
Ghost.exe clone, mode=pload, src=d:\original.gho:2,dst=1:1 -fx -sure -rb
Command Description: Runs the restore function automatically with
the Image File. Stored in drive D. After execution, it will exit Ghost
and boots the system.
Refer to the [Introducing Ghosts Functions] for details.
C-8
Appendix
(2) After booting, the screen displays the Menu. Select Backup or Restore:
Since the user may install other applications in the future, he/she may
alter Autoexec.bat file to back up or restore the user-defined Image
file as follows:
BackupBackup
Backup
BackupBackup
Back up Windows and application programs as a file (Recent.
gho). Command is:
Ghost –clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=d:\Recent.gho -fx -
sure -rb
RestoreRestore
Restore
RestoreRestore
Restore types include [General Windows] and [Windows and
Application Programs]. If you select [General Windows],
the system is restored to the general Windows operation
condition. The command is:
Ghost.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\Original.gho,dst=1:1 -fx
-sure -rb
If you select [Windows and Application Programs], the latest
backup file (Recent.gho) is restored, skipping the installation
and setup of application programs.
For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing Ghosts
Functions].
For more information about menu design, refer to Config.sys and
Autoexec.bat under /Menu in the CD. You can also create a backup CD
containing Ghost.exe and these two files.
C-9
Appendix
Recover CD
The following is a simple guide to create a recover CD:
1. First, create a recover floppy disk contains the following with any
copy program such as “Easy CD Create” (Note 2) :
Bootable files (Command.com and Io.sys and MSDOS.SYS)
Config.sys (Configuration setup file)
Autoexec.bat (Auto-execution batch file)
Mscdex.exe (CD-Rom execution file)
Ghost.exe (Ghost execution file)
Oakcdrom.sys (ATAPI CD-ROM compatible driver)
The content of Config.sys is:
DEVICE=Oakcdrom.sys /d:idecd001
The content of Autoexec.bat includes:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD001 /L:Z
Ghost.exe clone,mode=load,src=z:\original.gho,dst=1 -sure -rb
2. Write the backup image file (original.gho) of the entire hard disk or
partition into the recover CD. Use the Recover CD to boot up the
system and restore the backup files automatically.
For description of related parameters, refer to [Introducing Ghosts
Functions].
Note: For more details about copy the creation program and method to create a
recover CD, please refer to the releated software and its associated
operating manual.
Note: Ghost may be executed in interactive or in batch mode. Most of the Ghost
switches are used to assist in batch mode operation. To list switches, type
ghost.exe -h.
