845E PRO User’s Manual
Intel Pentium 4 Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
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
8
Page 11
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. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. 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.
mPGA478B

Colden Arrow
When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press
the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

NOTE!
Make sure the installed memory are DDR266 SDRAM support 133MHz
memory clock, otherwise the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/DDR200 DDR SDRAM module looks like.
DDR2 (BANK2 + BANK3)
DDR1 (BANK0 + BANK1)
Figure 2-4
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its
indention on both sides.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most
system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the
strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set
the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
WARNING!
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or
software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other
system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your motherboard and expansion cards.
10
Page 13
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to
one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.
Standard Interrupt Assignments

This motherboard provides an AGP Slot, only support the 1.5V 4X AGP VGA card.
11
Page 14
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the
motherboard due to Intel® 845 chipset can not support AGP 2X (3.3V).
IMPORTANT!
Example 1:
SiS 305 & ATi Rage 128 Pro AGP card those golden finger is compatible with
2X/4X mode AGP slot, but only can support 2X (3.3V) only. If you install these
cards in Intel® 845 based motherboard it will burn and damage the motherboard.
Example 2:
We also find Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is design for 2X/4X mode AGP
Slot. It can be adjusted the jumper for AGP 2X (3.3V) or AGP 4X (1.5V). But the
factory default setting is 2X (3.3V). If you install this AGP card in motherboard
without change the jumper setting to 4X (1.5V), it will burn the motherboard.
Before you plug-in AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully
understood and practiced. If your AGP card has “AGP 4X notch (show below)
please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V) not AGP 2X (3.3V)

Introducing BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a
bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, 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
