CAUTION!
1. P4i45PE-C motherboard may be fine tuned to support higher CPU bus
frequencies on certain condition (over-clocking mode). Please refer
to the NOTE on page 7 for the details.
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check
page 22.
3. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency
800 DDR400
533 DDR266, DDR333
400 DDR266
4. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly
before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to
spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install
the PC system.
5. Do NOT plug a 3.3V AGP card in the AGP slot on P4i45PE-C motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
6. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®
XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft®Windows®
98 / ME. Please refer to Microsoft®official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
7. Although P4i45PE-C offers stepless control, it is not recommended to
perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of P4i45PE-C is set to
perform over clocking, other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and
Memory clock will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other
than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of
the system or damage the CPU and the motherboard.

7
NOTE
P4i45PE-C may be fine tuned to support higher CPU front side bus frequencies on certain
condition at over-clocking mode. Please refer to the tables below for the details.
CPU FSB Configuration Note
P4i45PE-C 800 MHz 1. Set the “FSB” jumper to “800” mode (see page 14).
2. Only support one DDR 400 memory module on DDR1
DIMM. (If it is set to DDR 400 mode, then it does not
support CL3 module.)

Chapter 2 Installation
P4i45PE-C is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 7.0-in, 30.5 cm x 17.8 cm) motherboard.
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-
sure that the motherboard fits into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you
and damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the
motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power
is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
