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

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.

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/DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks like.

DI MM2 (BANK2 + BANK3)

DI MM1 (BANK0 + BANK1)

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 200MHz, use only DDR400compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 200Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your SDR Modules are not DDR400-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 133MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 Expansion Cards

WARNING!

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.

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

2-5-4 AGP Slot

This motherboard provides an AGP Slot, only support the 1.5V 4X/0.8V 8X AGP VGA card. Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the motherboard due to Intel® 848 chipset can not support AGP 2X (3.3V).

IMPORTANT!

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/8X (1.5V/0.8V) not AGP 2X (3.3V)

AGP SLOT

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® 848 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.

2-7 Starting Up Your Computer

1. After all connection are made, close your computer case cover.

2. Be sure all the switch 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 peripheral as following order:

a. Your monitor. b. Other external peripheral (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

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 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 Setup. If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter 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.
