Chapter 1. Getting Started
Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the PX865PE PRO II mainboard! It is based on the 82865PE
Northbridge chipset and the ICH5R Southbridge chipset. It supports Intel®Pentium®4 Processors
with a FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency of 400/ 533/ 800 MHz.
The PX865PE PRO II provides 4 DIMM sockets using 184 pin DDR SDRAM with a total capacity
of up to 4GB. You can install unbuffered & non-ECC DDR400/ 333/ 266 (PC3200/ 2700/ 2100)
SDRAM. It also supports dual channels for the DIMM sockets.
The PX865PE PRO II provides one 8X/ 4X (AGP 3.0) AGP slot for use with 0.8V or 1.5V AGP
cards.
The PX865PE PRO II includes built in IDE facilities that support Ultra DMA 66/100 BMIDE and
PIO Modes. It also includes built in Serial ATA facilities that support SATA RAID 0 and SATA 150.
The PX865PE PRO II also includes a Promise 20276 chip that supports two RAID IDE connectors. It
supports Ultra 133 and RAID 0/ 1 functionality.
The PX865PE PRO II also comes with a PCI multi channel audio controller (VT1720) which
supports high quality 8 channel audio (7.1 channel audio effect) audio. It also supports Sony/ Philips
Digital Interface.
The PX865PE PRO II also comes with eight USB 2.0 ports. It also includes a IEEE 1394 controller
(VT 6307) that supports two IEEE 1394 ports. The PX865PE PRO II also includes an infrared
header.

Hardware Installation
This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.
CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports Intel®Pentium®4 processors using a Socket 478. Before building your
system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures.
http://www.intel.com
CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift
the lever to a 90-degree angle.
2. On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will be near to the end of
the lever. Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto the
socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.
3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.
4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the clasps on
the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it onto the
CPUFAN adapter.
Pin1 Receptor
Dot
Attention: Before starting the system
Please recheck the installation procedures completely before
starting the system. Verify that the heatsink is properly installe
d
and make sure the CPU fan is working. Overheating ca
n
damage the CPU and other sensitive components.

PX865PE PRO II

FAN Headers
Three power headers are available for cooling fans, which play an important role in maintaining the
ambient temperature in your system.
Memory Installation
This mainboard contains 4 memory slots which use 184 pin DDR SDRAM with a total memory
capacity of up to 4 GB. You can install unbuffered & non-ECC DDR DIMMs. It supports DDR266
when installed with CPUs that have clock speeds of 100 MHz. It supports DDR266/333 when
installed with CPUs that have clock speeds of 133 MHz. It supports DDR266/320/400 when installed
with CPUs that have CPU clock speeds of 200 MHz.
The PX865PE Pro II provides Dual-Channel functionality for its DIMM slots. DIMM1 and DIMM2
share one channel, while DIMM3 and DIMM4 share the other channel. Enabling dual channels can
increase your data access rates.

Serial and Parallel Interface Ports
The mainboard comes equipped with one serial port and one parallel port on the back panel. These
interface ports will be explained below.
Parallel Interface Port: PRT
The parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB25 connector and is used to interface with parallel
printers and other devices using a parallel interface.
The Serial Interface: COM1
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an asynchronous
communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other peripheral devices can be connected to a
serial port.
Audio Port Connectors: Sound1/ Sound2
This mainboard comes equipped with six Audio Ports. The three ports, Mic-in, Line-in and Front
Speaker-out are standard audio ports that provides basic audio functionality. The other three surround
sound ports are disabled until you install the 7.1 Channel Audio Effects driver which provide eight
channel (eight speaker) sound functionality. After you install these drivers and setup 7.1 channel
Audio effect, the three additional audio ports are enabled and added to the Front Speaker-out port,
giving you a total of four ports supporting two speakers each.
Front Speaker-Out Connects to standard audio speakers. This port becomes the front speakers
when 7.1 Channel Audio Effects driver is installed and enabled. Also note that this port provides the
most amperage of all the ports making it suitable for headphones and speakers without power cables.
Line In Connects to an external audio device such as a CD player, tape player or other audio
devices that provide audio out.
Mic In Connects to a microphone.
Surround Back Speaker-out This port represents the surround sound back speakers and is
only functional when the 7.1 Channel Audio Effects driver is installed and enabled.
Surround Speaker-out This port represents an auxiliary port and is only functional when 7.1
Channel Audio Effects driver is installed and enabled.
Center/Subwoofer This port represents the Center/Subwoofer speakers and is only functional
when the 7.1 Channel Audio Effects driver is installed and enabled.

Front Panel Indicator: SW/LED、JP2
The SW/LED and JP2 headers are used to attach to indicators on the front panel of your computer.
HD LED (Hard Drive LED Connector)
This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will
flicker during disk activity. This disk activity only applies to those IDE drives directly attached to the
system board.
RST (Reset Button)
This connector can be attached to a momentary SPST switch. This switch is normally left open.
When closed it will cause the mainboard to reset and run the POST (Power On Self Test).
PWR-LED (2-pin Power LED Connector)
The mainboard provides two power LED connector.If there is a 2-pin power LED cable on the front
panel of a computer case. You can attach it to the 2-pin power LED connector. The LED will
illuminate while the computer is powered on.
PWR ON (Power Button)
This connector can be attached to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the Power Button
pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off (the time required is
due to internal debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass before the
power supply will recognize another on/off signal.
JP2 (3-Pin Power LED Connector)
The mainboard provides two power LED connector. If there is a 3-pin power LED cable on the front
panel of a computer case. You can attach it to the 3-pin power LED connector.
