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.

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.

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.
DI MM2 (BANK2+ BANK3 )
DI MM1 (BANK0+ BANK1 )
NOTE!
WARNING!
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.
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.

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
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
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

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.
Beep Meaning
One short beep when displaying logo No error during POST
Long beeps in an endless loop No DRAM install or detected
One long beep followed by three short
beeps
High frequency beeps when system is
working
Video card not found or video card memory
bad
CPU overheated
System running at a lower frequency
6. During power-on, press <Delete> key to enter BIOS setup. Follow the instructions in
BIOS SETUP.
7.
Power off your computer:
You must first exit or shut down your operating system
before switch off the power switch. For ATX power supply, you can press ATX power
switching after exiting or shutting down your operating system. If you use Windows 9X,
click
“Start”
button, click
“Shut down”
and then click
“Shut down the computer?”
The power supply should turn off after windows shut down.

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

onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the
onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP+EPP” will allow the
onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode
has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature. After
selecting it, the following message will appear: “ECP Mode Use DMA” at this time, the user can
choose between DMA channels 3 to 1. The onboard parallel port is EPP Spec. compliant, so
after the user chooses the onboard parallel port with the EPP function, the following message will

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
