    400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); and dual channel RDRAM. • Intel ICH2: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) features support for UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/ sec; and two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports.
  • Page 7 2. FEATURES • Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98/2000/Millenium compat- ibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most de- vices for virtually automatic setup. • Smart BIOS: 4Mbit firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides more control and protection over the motherboard.
  • Page 8 2. FEATURES 2.1.2 Performance • High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Onboard IDE Bus Master controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels. Supports UltraDMA/100/66, UltraDMA/33 (IDE DMA Mode 2), PIO Modes 3 & 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
  • Page 9 2. FEATURES 2.1.3 Intelligence • Auto CPU Throttling Function: Incorporated into this motherboard is a new technology to enable Pentium 4 processors auto throttling function. When auto throttling is enabled, the CPU with throttle down to 50% of its duty cycle when the CPU temperature reaches the threshold and return to 100% of its duty cycle when temperature lowers to normal level.

    3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.2 Getting Started IMPORTANT: Due to Pentium 4 CPU’s power consumption requirement, an ATX12V power supply is recommended for this motherboard. For typical system configurations, an ATX12V power supply that can supply at least 230W and at least 8.5A on the +12V lead is required.
  • Page 12 3. HARDWARE SETUP WARNING! Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to your motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. The onboard LED when lit acts as a reminder that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode and not powered OFF.

    3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket for the supported CPUs listed in section 2.1.1 Specifications. The CPU that came with the motherboard should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

  • Page 16: Cpu Installation

    3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.5.1 CPU Installation Step 1: Install the Baseboard A metal baseboard is required to install the heatsink to the motherboard. A rubber pad is placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to prevent shorting. Align the rubber pad over the metal baseboard so that the holes match.
  • Page 17 3. HARDWARE SETUP Step 2: Install the CPU A. Locate the ZIF socket on the motherboard. B. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sidesways and then lifting it up to a 90˚–100˚ angle. C. Align the CPU over the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket’s corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket.
  • Page 18 3. HARDWARE SETUP Step 3: Install the Heatsink Support Base Place the two heatsink support base as shown and screw in the four pan head screws. Step 4: Install the Heatsink Carefully place the fan heatsink on top of the heatsink support base and connect the fan power cable to the CPU fan connector.
  • Page 19 3. HARDWARE SETUP Step 5: Install the Heatsink Retaining Clips Latch one end of the heatsink retaining clip to one of the tabs on the heatsink support base. Latch the large slotted tab on the clip to the protrud- ing tab on the side of the heatsink support base.

    3. HARDWARE SETUP 3.7 External Connectors WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard. IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors.
  • Page 24 3. HARDWARE SETUP 3) Parallel Port Connector (Burgundy 25-pin PRINTER) You can enable the parallel port and choose the IRQ through Onboard Parallel Port in the BIOS. NOTE: Serial printers must be connected to the serial port. Parallel Port (25-pin Female) 4) Serial Port Connectors (Teal/Turquoise 9-pin COM1, 10-1 pin COM2) Two serial ports are ready for a mouse or other serial devices.
  • Page 25 3. HARDWARE SETUP 6) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1pin IDE) These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the motherboard’s primary (recommended) or second- ary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector to your UltraDMA/100 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraDMA/100 master device.
  • Page 26 3. HARDWARE SETUP 7) Floppy Disk Drive Connector (34-1pin FLOPPY) This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connect- ing the single end to the board, connect the two plugs on the other end to the floppy drives. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orienta- tion when using ribbon cables with pin 5 plugged).
  • Page 27 3. HARDWARE SETUP 9) USB Headers (10-1 pin USB2) If the USB Ports on the back panels are inadequate, a USB header is available for two additional USB ports. Connect the 10-1 pin ribbon cable from the pro- vided 2-port USB connector set to the midboard 10-1 pin USB header and mount the USB connector set to an open slot on your chassis.
  • Page 28 3. HARDWARE SETUP 11) Power Supply Connectors (20-pin block ATXPWR) (4-pin ATX12V) These connectors connect to an ATX 12V power supply. Each plug from the power supply will only insert in one orientation because of the different hole sizes. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that the pins are aligned.
