As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection
of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those
heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition,
this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support Intel
processors.

2-3-2 About INTEL PENTIUM 4 478-PIN CPU
This motherboard provides a 478-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket, referred
to as the mPGA478B socket supports Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 478 Pin package utilizes
Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) package technology.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your
system.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink
and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the
processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary
cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. To locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to 90-degree. Insert
the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should point toward
the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will
only fit in the orientation as shown.

2-7 Starting up your computer
1. After all connection are ready, close your computer case cover.
2. Be sure all the switches are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper
position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s
voltage used.
3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case
according to your system user’s manual.
4. Turn on your peripherals as following order:
a. Your monitor.
b. Other external peripherals (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…)
c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply and
press the ATX power switch on the front side of the case.
5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the monitor
may light up or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it complies with
green standards or if it is has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on
test. While the test are running, the BIOS will alarm beeps or additional message will appear
on the screen.
If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power. The
system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or
call your retailer for assistance.

Chapter 3
Introducing BIOS Settings
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory of the motherboard. Using this program as a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When the computer starting to work, the
BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power
on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the
parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives
up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for
hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring
that your system performance as its best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these
options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of
the function keys you may use here:
• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
• Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to
confirm or to modify.
• Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters
and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
• Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the
active option.
3-1 Entering Setup
Power on the computer and by pressing <Del> immediately allows you to enter BIOS Setup. If
the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup, restart the
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case.
You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. If you do not
press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed
and you will again be asked to
Press <F1> to continue, <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> or <Del> to enter Setup

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences are:
Supervisor password: Can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
User password: Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the
setup menus. When you select this function, the following message
will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now
will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm
the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort
the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
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 would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its
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.
