mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and me asures 244 mm x
244 mm. The mainboard is design to support the mPGA Socket 478 Intel P4
Willamette/Northwood processors and the new Intel 845GL chipset.

With system bus speeds up to 400MHz, this mainboard represents the most
powerful desktop and cost-effective integrated solution available today.

The mainboard incorporates the 845-GL (GMCH) and 82801DB (ICH4) chip­sets which combines support for PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors, four
USB ports, a LAN connector, a high-speed serial port, a VGA port, an
EPP/ECP parallel port, audio jacks for microphone, line-in, line-out and CD-in ,
as well as supporting Plug and Play.

In addition to its excellent performance and stability, the mainboard is highly
suited for Internet and rich multimedia applications, including streaming video
download and are ideal for workstations and high-end home use.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com­plies with the specifications for the Micro-ATX system case. Some features on
the mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboar d to
indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports
all the features required. The mainboard can support one o r two floppy disk­ette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient
power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that
the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge
of the mainboard.

This mainboard has a Micro-ATX form factor of 244 mm x 244 mm. Choose a
case that accommodates this form factor.

Installing the Mainboard

SSaaffeettyy PPrreeccaauuttiioonnss

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid
damage from static electricity.

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely
grounded object before working on the mainboard.

• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard
in a case:

This illustration shows an ex­ample of a mainboard being
installed in a tower-type case:

Note: Do not overtighten

the screws as this
can stress the main­board.

Most system cases have
mounting brackets installed in
the case, which correspond to
the holes in the mainboard.
Place the mainboard over the
mounting brackets and secure
the mainboard onto the mount­ing brackets with screws.

2. Secure the mainboard with
screws where appropriate.

1. Place the mainboard
over the mounting brackets.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and
expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the main­board.

Setting Jumpers

Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with
more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the
jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.
When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the
jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just
one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

Short Open

This illustration shows a 3-pin
jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

JP1 – Enables you to clear the BIOS. Refer to the following in-

structions:

1. Turn the system off.

2. Remove all ATX power connectors (including ATX1 and
ATX12V).

3. Short pins 2 and 3 on JP1.

4. Return the jumper to the normal setting.

5. Plug in all ATX power connectors.

JP3 – Enables you to prevent the BIOS from being updated

(flashed). Open the jumper if you are going to update your
BIOS. After updating the BIOS, short the jumper to protect
the BIOS from being flashed.

JP4 – Use this jumper to enable or disable built-in LAN network

adapter.

VID4 ~ VID0 – Use this jumper to set the CPU voltage manually to improve

the CPU performance. However, do not change the
VID4~VID0 setting if you are not familiar with the CPU. This
may cause the system to become unstable or hang-up.
