Introduction
1-2 Mainboard Features
Brief Introduction
Intel® Pentium® 4 processors
The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance across applications
and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the
performance. 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
Chipset
http://www.intel.com
This board is designed with Intel® 915GL/915GV chipset. The Intel® 915G series
chipset consists of the Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O
Controller Hub (ICH6).
DDR400
Supports dual channel of DDR400 memory to give you twice the memory
bandwidth for greater system performance.
PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next
decade. With smaller slot size and 250MB/sec(PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16)
maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.
Ultra ATA100
The mainboard provides an Ultra ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. This
controller supports Ultra ATA100 protocols which are ideal to support demanding
applications such as real-time video, multimedia, and a high performance operating
system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA100.
Page 1-2
Introduction
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system opera-
tion and status. This includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
10/100 LAN (Optional)
This mainboard is mounted with a ethernet LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to
connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
GbE LAN (Optional)
The new Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows data transmission at 1,000 megabits per
second (Mbps), which runs 10 times faster than conventional 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet LANs.
Serial ATA (S-ATA)
Support Serial ATA, an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE storage
interface. Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows
future enhancements to the computing platform.
IEEE 1394 (Optional)
IEEE 1394a provides enhanced PC connectivity for consumer electronics audio/
video appliances, storage peripherals, portable devices such as digital cameras, and
inter-PC communications. IEEE 1394a provides transfer rates up to 400Mbits/sec.
USB2.0
A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer
speed while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
8ch
Delivers 8 channel audio to bring you the latest in audio realism from DVD
movies and games. Perfect for your home theatre system.

Installation
Easy Installation Procedure
The following must be completed before powering on your new system:
3-1. CPU Installation
3-2. Jumper Settings
3-3. System Memory
3-4. Expansion Slots
3-5. Device Connectors
3-1 CPU Installation
Step 1
Carefully remove the plastic protection plate from the
socket.
Warning:
The pins inside the CPU socket are fragile and are
easily broken. Be careful not to touch them when
installing the CPU.
<Figure 1>
<Figure 3>
<Figure 2>
Step 2
Open the socket by releasing
the actuation lever, and press
downwards at the tip shown by
the arrow.
Page 3-2
Step 3
Before inserting the CPU, align the CPU according
to the key slots shown in the picture. Gently place
the CPU into the socket and make sure it is fully
seated.
Installation
<Figure 4>
Step 4
a) Put the CPU lid on the socket, and
close the socket by lowering and
locking the actuation lever.
Step 5
Place the CPU cooler on top of the socket.
Press its clips down firmly until it is
completely seated in the hole.
<Figure 5>
b) Apply thermal compound to the top
of the CPU and into the four holes
around CPU area to install the cooler
as shown.
Step 6
a) Rotate the clips 90 degrees to lock
the CPU cooler in place.
b) Plug the cooler fan power into the
mainboard’s CPU fan connector.
The installation is complete.
<Figure 6>
CAUTION:
• Installing with incorrect CPU cooler and heatsink assemblies may damage the CPU. Use
Intel’s thermal solution shown in the illustrations above: an active heatsink; an extruded
aluminum heatsink base; and a fan attached to the top of the fin array.
• Apply thermal compound or paste to the CPU to avoid CPU overheating and damage.
• In accordance with Intel guidelines specifications, do not install a CPU over 20 times to
avoid damaging the pins on the CPU socket.

Installation
3-2 Jumper Settings
JCMOS:
Clear CMOS data Jumper
If the CMOS data becomes corrupted or
you forgot the supervisor or user
password, clear the CMOS data to
reconfigure the system back to the
default values stored in the ROM BIOS.
Settings:
1-2: Normal (Default)
1
2-3: Clear CMOS
To CMOS Clear data, please follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the system.
2. Change the jumper from “1-2” to “2-3” position for
a few seconds.
3. Replace the jumper back to the “1-2” position.
4. Turn on the system and hold down the <Del> key
to enter BIOS setup.

Installation
3-3 System Memory Configuration
The mainboard accommodates two 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets.
• Supports up to 2.0GB of 333/400MHz DDR SDRAM.
• Supports dual channel memory interface.
• Supports non-ECC memory and non-Registered DIMMs only.
• Supports 256Mb/512Mb/1Gb DDR technologies in x8 and x16 devices only.
• SPD (Serial Presence Detect) scheme for DIMM detection support.
• Supports configurations defined in the JEDEC DDR DIMM specification only.
Memory configurations supported:
oNtolSMMID1sMMID2
1#MMIDSS/SDSS/SD
2#MMIDSS/SDSS/SD
* DS - Double-sided DIMM, * SS - Single-sided DIMM
NOTES:
• Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speeds (overclocking)
may severely compromise the integrity of the system.
Memory Installation :
To install, align the notch on the DIMM module with the connector.
Press straight down as shown in the figure below until the white clips
close and the module fits tightly into the DIMM socket.
