Introduction
Intel® Pentium® 4 processors
The Intel Pentium 4 processor, Intel's most advanced, most powerful processor for
desktop PCs and entry-level workstations, is based on Intel NetBurst
TM
microarchitecture. The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance
across applications and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience
the performance. These applications include Internet audio and streaming video,
image processing, video content creation, speech, 3D, CAD, games, multimedia, and
multi-tasking user environments. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class
performance for consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users
as well as for entry-level workstation users.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor
family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function as
two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.
For more information about all the new features the Pentium 4 delivers check out
the Intel website at http://www.intel.com
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. This
new specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification by
allowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock) resulting in maximum band-
width of 2.1GB/s. In addition, it defines 1.5 volt power supply operation. Complying
with this specification, this board supports external AGP-8X/4X cards with Fast
Write Transactions. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.
Ultra ATA/66/100/133
This board provides an Ultra ATA100/133 Bus Master IDE controller. This controller
supports Ultra ATA100/133 protocols which are ideal to support demanding applica-
tions such as real-time video, multimedia, and a high performance operating system.
A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA100/133; this cable is an 80-pin conductor
cable which is backward compatible with ATA/33 connectors.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation
and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
Page 1-2
Introduction
LAN
This mainboard is optionally mounted with a LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to
connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
Serial ATA
Support Serial ATA ,an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE storage
interface .Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows future
enhancements to the computing platform.
Page 1-3
Introduction
Mainboard Form-Factor
This board is designed with ATX form factor - the latest industry standard for
chassis design. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated
90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for
the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the
expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a
double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a
wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined,
allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output,
joystick, modem, LAN, audio, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators
differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.
• By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard
drive and floppy connectors material cost of cables and add-in cards is
reduced.
• By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufacturing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will
increase.
• By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs
and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a sidemounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making
a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)
This board has a 20-pin ATX and a 4-pin ATX12V power supply connector (Figure 4).
For power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected
to the mainboard front panel PW_ON connector for the computer power On/Off button.
This board has been designed with “Soft Off" function. You can turn off the system
in two ways: by pressing the front panel power On/Off button or using the "Soft
Off" function that can be controlled by an operating system such as Windows®XP/
ME/2000/98.
Note: For ma intai ning the DDR SDRAM power during STR (ACPI S3) function, it is strongly
recommended to use power supplies that have a +5VSB current of (>=) 2A. Please check the
5VSB’s specification printed on the power supply’s outer case.
Note: The board requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your system configura-
tion (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed this minimum power
requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, use a 300 Watt (or higher) power
supply.
