Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board,
components or devices even before installing them in your system
unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components
without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra
care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1.To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2.Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3.Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4.Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of
the components, contacts or connections.
5.Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk
drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction
procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a
station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal
part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.
Safety Measures
To avoid damage to the system:
•Use the correct AC input voltage range
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
•Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis
cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,
cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Introduction
Features
LP UT P35-T2R and LP LT P35-T2R support high performance DDR2 technology whose data transfer rate
delivers bandwidth of 12.8 Gb/s and beyond. That is
twice the speed of the conventional DDR without in-
creasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at
1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules.
DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which
fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
LP UT P35-T3R and LP LT P35-T3R support DDR3
memory that delivers increased system bandwidth and
improved performance. DDR3 offers peak data transfer
rate of up to 17 Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of
DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a
lower power than DDR2.
The Realtek ALC885 on the Bernstein audio module
supports 6 audio jacks that provide 8-channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel super surround sound au-
dio system. It is also equipped with a CD-in connector,
front audio connector and S/PDIF output allowing digital connections
with DVD systems or other audio/video multimedia.
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that
transfers digital audio signals to a device without having
to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents
the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever
it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found oyn digital audio
equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The
S/PDIF interface on the system board sends surround sound and
3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital
recording devices like CD recorders.

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
Cover
Lever
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the
CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
•Use only certified fan and heat sink.
•The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and
heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one
in this section, please follow the installation guide in the
package.
1.Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal
paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually
supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly.
Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later
place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
36
Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch
of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the
paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.

2.Place the heat sink on
top of the CPU. The 4
studs around the heat
sink which are used to
secure the heat sink
onto the system board
must match the 4
mounting holes around
the socket.
Position each stud so
that the groove faces
the heat sink then push
it down firmly until it
clicks into place.

Note:
You will not be able to secure the fan and heat sink assembly in place
if the groove is facing outward.
3.Connect the CPU fan’s cable connector to the CPU fan connector on
the system board.
Note:
The LP UT P35 Series provides the option of using the provided
Transpiper heat sink. However, instead of using the push-pin type of
CPU heat sink / fan assembly, opt for an assembly that uses mounting screws. Refer to the Transpiper Heat Sink section for details.
Please refer to the link below for a list of the Intel® Pentium® D and Intel
Pentium® 4 CPUs supported by the system board.
Due to space restrictions, the heat dissipating effect of a heat sink
mounted directly at the place where the heat is produced is usually
limited. To overcome this problem, the system board uses the heat
pipe design. Heat pipe is an extremely high thermal conductor that
can quickly transfer heat from one point to another.
The heat pipe will transport heat generated by the chipsets or CPU
to a place where more space for the Transpiper heat sink is available. By means of the airflow from the CPU fan and system fan,
heat can be carried away and disspated effectively.

power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we
strongly recommend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or
greater) power supply.
Important:
Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s

Restarting the PC
Normally, you can power-off the PC by:
1.Pressing the power button at the front panel of the chassis.
or
2.Pressing the power switch that is on the system board (note: not
all system boards come with this switch).
If for some reasons you need to totally cut off the power supplied
to the PC, switch off the power supply or unplug the power cord.
Take note though that if you intend to restart it at once, please
strictly follow the steps below.
1.The time where power is totally discharged varies among power
supplies. It's discharge time is highly dependent on the system's
configuration such as the wattage of the power supply, the sequence of the supplied power as well as the number of peripheral devices connected to the system. Due to this reason, we
strongly recommend that you wait for the Standby Power LED
(refer to the “LEDs” section in this chapter for the location of the
Standby Power LED) to lit off.
2.After the Standby Power LED has lit off, wait for 6 seconds
before powering on the PC.
If the system board is already enclosed in a chassis which apparently will not make the Standby Power LED visible, wait for 15
seconds before you restore power connections. 15 seconds is
approximately the time that will take the LED to lit off and the
time needed before restoring power.
The above will ensure protection and prevent damage to the
motherboard and components.

Virus Warning
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard
disk drive. When this field is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor
the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive. If an
attempt is made to write to the boot sector or partition table of
the hard disk drive, the BIOS will halt the system and an error
message will appear.
After seeing the error message, if necessary, you will be able to run
an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any
damage is done.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot
sector table will cause the warning message to appear. If you are
running such a program, we recommend that you first disable this
field. Also, disable this field if you are installing or running certain
operating systems like Windows

This section gives you functions to configure the system based on
the specific features of the chipset. The chipset manages bus speeds
and access to system memory resources. These items should not
be altered unless necessary. The default settings have been chosen
because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.
The only time you might consider making any changes would be if
you discovered some incompatibility or that data was being lost
while using your system.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
In order to improve system performance, certain space in memory
can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into
the memory space below 16MB. When enabled, the CPU assumes
the 15-16MB memory range is allocated to the hidden ISA address
range instead of the actual system DRAM. When disabled, the CPU
assumes the 15-16MB address range actually contains DRAM
memory. If more than 16MB of system memory is installed, this field
must be disabled to provide contiguous system memory.
