1. Introduction

WinFast P4I845D is a compelling Desktop solution as a Socket 478/Pentium 4
based ATX motherboard.

WinFast P4I845D, integrating Intel 845 chipset, supports the Intel Pentium 4
processor whose performance will exceed expectation of both consumer and
corporate users alike. The WinFast P4I845D also supports a 400 MHz system
bus, PC266 DDR memory, and the latest graphics devices through the 1.5
AGP4X interface; and allows a direct connection to the graphics and memory for
faster access to peripherals.

WinFast P4I845D also supports four USB ports for peripherals with 24Mbps of
bandwidth; the LAN Connect Interface (LCI); with The Intel SingleDriver™
Technology, all three network options; Communications and Network Riser (CNR)
card, and Dual Ultra ATA/100 controllers.

The Intel Application Accelerator software provides additional performance over
native ATA drivers. The Intel Application Accelerator improves system
performance by improving I/O transfer rates and enables faster O/S load time
resulting in accelerated boot times.

WinFast P4I845D offers innovative design, support for high-volume DDR memory,
and configuration options that optimize performance and provide a robust,
mainstream platform.

3. Hardware Setup

Static Precautions

Static discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent that, it is
important to handle it carefully. The following measures will suffice your
equipment from static.



Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.



Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board from the
anti-static bag.



Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules, or gold contacts. Do not touch pins on chips or
modules.



Put the system board and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not
in use.



For grounding purposes, be sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between its power supply, case, the mounting fasteners, and the
system board.

3.1 CPU Installation

Please refer to the instruction manual of the CPU for how to install the CPU.

3.2 Memory Installation

The motherboard provides two 184-pin DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module)
slots, DIM0 and DIM1. You can use DDR SDRAM modules of 8MB, 16MB, 32MB,
64MB, 128MB, 256MB, or 512MB per DIMM slot.

IF you choose DDR200 in the Memory Frequency option in BIOS, you must use
the qualified DDR SDRAM that meets PC200 specifications.

IF you choose DDR266 in the Memory Frequency option in BIOS, you must use
the qualified DDR SDRAM that meets PC266 specifications.

DIMM Installation Procedures

The DIMM slot has a key marked “VOLT”, thus making the module only fit in one
direction. Note that the module must
be a 3.3V unbuffered DIMM

Step 1:

Insert the module vertically
into the DIMM slot, and then

Step 2:

push it in.

The plastic clips at the side of
the DIMM slot will
automatically close.

7

3.3 AGP Display Adapter Installation

The AGP slot on WinFast P4I845D only supports 1.5V AGP4X devices. To install
an AGP display adapter, follow these steps:

Step 1:

Step 2:

Push the clip at the end of AGP slot.

Position the AGP card horizontally over the
AGP slot. Do not tilt the card. Insert the
bus connector in the slot and gently press the bus connector down.

Step 3:

Push the clip back to close it

.

3.4 Connecting Instructions

How each connector is connected and what it does is described here in detail.
See Chapter 2 to locate connectors.

Case Signal Connector (FP1 and FP2)

FP1:

 Pins [1 & 3] IDE-LED: IDE hard disk LED shows the activity

of a hard disk drive. Avoid turning the power off while the
HDD LED is lit.

 Pins [2 & 4] ACPI-LED: For ACPI LED connection on the

case.

 Pins [5 & 7] RESET: Connects to the reset button on the

system’s case. The reset button is used to “cold-boot” the
system without actually turning off the power, reducing wear
and tear on the power supply. Avoid rebooting the system
when the HDD LED is blinking.

 Pins [6 & 8] PW_SW: Allows connecting to the power button on the system’s

case.

8

FP2:

 Pins [1 & 3] KEYLOCK: Keyboard lock switch lead. It connects to the

case-mounted keylock switch, allowing you to disable the keyboard function for
security purpose.

 Pins [5 & 7 & 9] PW-LED: Power LED. It is always lit when the system power

is on.

 Pins [2 & 4 & 6 & 8] SPEAKER: Connects to the speaker on the system’s

case.

Hard Disk Connector

The on-board Enhanced IDE controller can support up to 4 IDE hard
drives or other ATAPI devices, such as CD-ROMs. This controller, as
with all Enhanced IDE controllers, consists of both Primary (IDE 1)
and Secondary (IDE 2) ports. Each port has an associated connector
and cable, which can support up to 2 ATAPI devices each.

All IDE devices have jumpers, which allow the user to configure the
device as either “Master” or “Slave”. A Master device is one that is
ALONE on the IDE cable, whereas a Slave device is installed as a
SECOND device on the same cable. Keep in mind that the Master
device will appear before the Slave device in the CMOS Setup, as
well as the Operating System software. *Refer to the device
documentation for jumper settings.

The Secondary IDE
port can be used for

Mainboard IDE Port

Slave Drive

Master Drive

up to 2 additional
ATAPI devices.

Make sure to align
the RED stripe on the
ribbon cable with

Blue
Connector

Gray
Connector

Black
Connector

Pin-1 on the
motherboard IDE connector. On most hard drives and CD-ROMs, the RED stripe
should be oriented towards the power connector of the device.

When using Ultra ATA 66/100 IDE cable (as shown above), the black color
connector on the cable is for Master drive, gray color is for Slave drive and blue
color is for connecting to IDE port onboard.

Note that Ultra ATA 66/100 devices must be connected to IDE2 (the blue
connector).

Floppy Disk Connector (FDD)

The on-board floppy controller supports 2 floppy disk drives. Make sure
the RED stripe on the ribbon cable is oriented towards Pin-1. Notice the
“twist” between the sets of connectors on the floppy cable. The floppy
drive “A” position is at the END of the cable, whereas floppy drive “B” is
hooked to one of the connectors on the other side of the twist.

9

RJ45 Ethernet Connector and USB Connectors (J1)

RJ45 LAN connector and two USB peripheral devices
connectors.

Cooling Fans (FAN1, FAN2, FAN3)

CPU fan (FAN1), power fan (FAN2), and system fan
(FAN3) are small 3-pin Header Connectors that
provide 12-Volt power for CPU fan, power fan, and
system fan. Plug in the fan cable to the connector.

NOTE:

Stereo Audio/Video In Connectors (J10, J12, J15)

J10 and J12 allow you to receive stereo audio input
from internal CD ROM drives. J15 is for connecting
other auxiliary audio sources.

Power Supply Connector (J5)

This motherboard features an ATX-style Power Supply
Connector. This connector is keyed to prevent connection in the
wrong direction. Line up the locking mechanism on the connector
from the Power Supply with the tab on the motherboard
connector. Press down until the two connectors are locked.

12V Power Connector (J8)

J8 connects the 12V power input.

AUX Power Connector (J4)

J4 connects AUX power.

The power fan speed is not monitored in the BIOS.

Serial and Parallel Ports

A 25-pin D-Sub header is provided on the back panel for
a multi-mode bi-directional parallel port. Two 9-pin D-Sub
headers are provided on the back panel for serial port
COM1 and COM2.

10

IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (CIR1)

(

)

(Lig

)

The IrDA connector brackets hook directly to this connector on the
motherboard. This connector provides support for the optional
wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module.

MS or SD and Smart Card connectors
(JP12, JP13, J51)

These two connectors are for connecting the
optional reader that can accommodate an MS
(Memory Stick) or an SD (Secure Digital) as
well as a Smart Card.

Midi/Joystick, MIC, Line In, Line Out

 Midi/Joystick: Allow you to connect game joystick or

game pad for playing games or connect Midi devices for
playing or editing audio.

 Mic: Allows microphones to be connected for inputting

sound.

 Line In: Allows tape players or other audio sources to be

recorded by your computer or played through the Line Out.

 Line Out: Connected to headphones or speakers with

amplifier.
