Introduction

This mainboard has a Socket-478 processor socket for Intel
Pentium 4/Hyper Threading Technology processors with front -

side bus (FSB) speeds up to 533 MHz. Hyper Threading
Technology, designed to take advantage of the multitasking
features in Windows XP, gives you the power to do more things at
once.

This mainboard integrates the SiS651 Northbridge along with

SiS962L Southbridge chipsets that supports built-in AC97 Codec ,
2 DDR modules up to 2GB system memory, and provides Ultra
DMA 33/ 66/100/133 function. These chipsets’ function is detailed

as the Chipset description in next section. This mainboard
integrates a 256-bit 3D/2D Graphics Engine , Video Accelerator
and Advanced Hardware Acceleration MPEGI/MPEGII Video
Decoder for the Intel Pentium 4 series based PC systems. It has the
external AGP slot with AGP 4X 266MHz capability, one CNR
(Communications and Networking Riser) slot, and built-in
10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface(optional). In addition,
there is a full set of I/O Ports including PS/2 keyboard and mouse
ports, one serial port, one VGA port, one parallel port, and
maximum six USB2.0 ports – four back-panel ports and onboard
USB header JUSB1 providing two extra ports by connecting the
Extended USB Module to the mainboard.

This mainboard is ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX
power supply and measures 305 x 190mm.

Note: You must initiate the HT CPU function through

BIOS setup. It is strongly recommended you refer
to the Appendix (page 34) for relative details.

Static Electricity Precautions

Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static
electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the
mainboard and installing it in a system.

1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original

static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.

2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If

you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by
touching the bare metal of the system chassis.

3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching

the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During
installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection
packaging it came in with the component side facing up.

Pre-Installation Inspection

1. Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and

connectors on the board.

2. If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not

connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor
and report the damage.

Chapter 2

Mainboard Installation
