1. Introduction

WinFast P4I845G/GL is a compelling Desktop solution as a Socket 478/Pentium
4 based ATX motherboard.

WinFast P4I845G/GL uses Intel 845G/GL chipset, which has integrated Intel
830M 2D/3D graphics chip that delivers excellent performance in all applications.
WinFast P4I845G also supports a 533 MHz system bus, PC266 DDR memory,
and the latest graphics devices through the 1.5V AGP4X interface (WinFast
P4I845GL supports a 400 MHz system bus and the AGP slot can only be used for
Intel ADD adapters); and allows a direct connection to the graphics and memory
for faster access to peripherals.

WinFast P4I845G/GL also supports six USB 2.0 ports for peripherals with 480
Mbps 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 P4I845G/GL 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.

y Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.
y Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board from the

anti-static bag.

y 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.

y Put the system board and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not

in use.

y 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 PC2100 specifications.

IF you choose DDR266 in the Memory Frequency option in BIOS, you must use
the qualified DDR SDRAM that meets PC2700 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 2.5V unbuffered DIMM

Step 1: Insert the module vertically

into the DIMM slot, and then
push it in.

Step 2: 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 P4I845G only supports 1.5V AGP4X devices. To install
an AGP display adapter, follow these steps:

Step 1: Push the clip at the end of AGP slot.

Step 2: 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.

NOTE: The AGP slot on P4I845GL is not for AGP cards. Only Intel ADD

adapters can be installed.

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 FP3)

FP3:

y 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.

y Pins [2 & 4] ACPI-LED: For ACPI LED connection

on the case.

y 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.

y Pins [6 & 8] PW_SW: Allows connecting to the

power button on the system’s case.

8

FP1:

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

is on.

y 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

MainboardIDE 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 IDE1 (the blue
connector).

Floppy Disk Connector (FDC1)

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 (J3)

RJ45 LAN connector and two USB peripheral devices
connectors.

Cooling Fans (FAN1, FAN2, FAN3)

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

NOTE: The speed of the chipset fan (FAN2) is not monitored in the BIOS.

Stereo Audio/Video In Connectors (J10, J14, J15)

J14 and J15 allow you to receive stereo audio input
from internal CD ROM drives. J10 is for connecting
other auxiliary audio sources.

Power Supply Connector (J2)

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 (J1)

J1 connects the 12V power input.

Serial, Parallel, and VGA Ports (COM1, LPT1,
VGA)

A 25-pin D-Sub header is provided on the back
panel for a multi-mode bi-directional parallel port.
A 9-pin D-Sub header is provided on the back
panel for serial port COM1. The 15-pin D-sub is
the VGA connector that connects the monitor.

10

IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (IR,
CIR1)

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

MS or SD and Smart Card connectors (JP15, JP16, J20)

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

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

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

y Mic: Allows microphones to be connected for inputting

sound.

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

recorded by your computer or played through the Line Out.

y Line Out: Connected to headphones or speakers with

amplifier.

PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (KB1)

These two connectors are located on the back panel of the
motherboard.
