1. Please read the users guide before proceeding with your
installations. Serious damage may occur if the
procedure is not followed properly.
2. This motherboard does not support CPUs with a Vcore
higher than 1.6 volts. Please make sure the CPU you are
using 1.6 volts or is below. Check the CPU specification
before you insert it in the CPU socket.
3. AGP cards running at 3.3v are not supported. Only AGP
cards running at 1.5v (most 4x or 8x AGP cards) are
supported on this motherboard.
4. Please make sure that your memory modules are inserted
correctly. They can go in only one way, and should fit
completely in the socket without sticking out. Failure to do
so will damage your motherboard and memory module.
5. An ATX12V power supply (Power supply for Pentium 4
system) is required for the system to operate normally.
(Preferably 350 watts for minimal loading or 400 watts for
fully loaded system).
6. If you have any problem getting your system to work,
please follow the troubleshooting tips in your user manual.
7. On some motherboards, the actual chipset cooler may differ
from the chipset cooler as shown on the picture or on the
box. However, the chipset fan on the motherboard is of the
same quality and will work just as well as the one shown in
the picture. (The chipset cooler is as sufficient as the chipset
fan based on a different design.)

2-2 INSTALLATION GUIDE
We will now begin the installation of the Motherboard. Please follow the
step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct
installation.
Step1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
Step2- Install memory modules.
Step3- Install expansion cards.
Step4- Connect cables, case wires, and power supply.
Step5- Power on and enter BIOS setup.
Step6- Install supporting software tools. See Chapter 4 for more info.
Warning: Turn off the power to the Motherboard, system chassis,
and peripheral devices before performing any work on the
Motherboard or system.
BEGIN THE INSTALLA TION
Step 1 Install the CPU
CPU Mount Procedure:
processor that you have purchased separately, follow these instructions.
To mount the Pentium® 4 Socket mPGA478
1. Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.
15
Hardware Installation SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 V1.0
2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole distinctive edge
on the socket.
3. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing.
16
Hardware Installation SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 V1.0
4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place.
Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate
power connector on the Motherboard. The fan is a key
component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents
overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
CPU Fan Installation
Your Socket 478 processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on the
processor according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The fan
is a key component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents
overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
Note: Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power source.
17
Hardware Installation SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 V1.0
Step 2 Install Memory Module
This motherboard supports two Dual Channels to your memory. Note that
you can use normal DDR memory for Dual Channel to work. Also note that
for Dual Channel to work 2 or 4 modules of equal size and specifications
have to be installed.
The largest memory capacity possible is 4GB. On this motherboard,
DRAM speed can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed.
Note that when installing 4GB of memory, your total memory will be less
than 4GB. The reason for this is that the BIOS, PCI and AGP cards claim part
of your CPUs address space.
Memory Configuration Table
If you want to use the Dual Channel feature, please follow the memory
configuration table below:

Installing your memory in a combination different from the table above will
still allow your system to work. The Dual Channel feature will not work then
however. This motherboard also supports ECC (error correcting code)
memory DDR modules.
Memory frequency Table
Depending on the front side bus (FSB) frequency of the CPU, you can run
memory of different speeds. Please look at the table below for details:
CPU FSB
(MHz)
Memory Frequency

DDR DIMM Type
400 266 PC2100
533 266 or 333 PC2100 or PC2700
800 400 or 320* PC3200 or PC2700
* When using a 800 MHz FSB CPU and PC2700 DDR DIMMs, the memory
frequency runs at 320 MHz (instead of 333 MHz) due to chipset limitations.
Step 3 Installation of Expansion Cards
The motherboard has 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before inserting
the expansion card into the computer.
2. Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion slot on the motherboard.
3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are seated in the slot.
4. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
5. Install required driver for the operating system you use.

AGP Slot
This motherboard only support 1.5V AGP cards (4X/8X cards). If 3.3V
AGP card is used, the system will not power-on and the AGPDET LED
will lit.

This motherboard provides 3 IEEE 1394 ports for your Firewire devices.
Standard drivers are supplied with the operating system for commonly used
Firewire devices.
FW1 and FW2 are available. You can connect them to a 1394 bracket or Σ

F. ATX12V Power Supply
The power supply connector is the last connection to be made when installing
a motherboard. This motherboard requires an ATX 12V power supply. AT or
ATX power supplies cannot be used. We recommend a power supply of at
least 350W, or 400W under full loading.
Steps:
1. Connect the 20 pin connector to the ATX power connector. See FIG. 1.
2. Connect the 4 pin connector to the +12V power connector. See FIG. 2.
ATX Power
+12V Power Connector
Note 1: The presence of the +12V power connector indicates
that a power supply is ATX12V; the absence of the +12V
power connector indicates that a supply is ATX.
39
Hardware Installation SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 V1.0
Note 2: When using the Power-On by Keyboard function,
please make sure the ATX 12V power supply is able to provide
at least 1220mA on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB).
Note 3: The minimum recommended wattage is 400W for a
fully loaded system or 350W for a minimally loaded system,
the system might become unstable if power supply is not
enough
Note 4: The 4 pin ATX 12V must be connected to the motherboard.
Without this connector, the system cannot boot.
Please install the ATX 12V power according to the following pin assignment:
