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.

CPU ZIF mPGAB Socket

Colden Arrow

mPGA478B

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 DDR200/DDR266 DDR SDRAM module looks like.

DDR2 (BANK2 + BANK3)

DDR1 (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 133MHz, use only DDR266-compliant 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 SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz 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.

Figure 2-4

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

The AGP Slot also supports AGP Digital Display Card for digital display and TV-out.

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 (1.5V) 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® 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.

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 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

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.
