CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency
800 DDR266, DDR320*, DDR400
533 DDR266, DDR333
400 DDR266
*When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
3. This motherboard supportsDual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 14 for proper installation.
4. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
5. Because the installedAMR card will occupy the same external connecting
position with the PCI card that are installed in “PCI3” slot, you will not be
able to install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card has already been
installed in the AMR slot.
6. The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only
supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the
compatible AGP VGA cards, please refer to the “Supported AGP VGA

Chapter 2 Installation
P4i65GV is a MicroATX form factor (9.6-in x 7.8-in, 24.4 cm x 19.8 cm) motherboard.
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-
sure that the motherboard fits into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com-
ponents 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.

13
2.1 CPU Installation
Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner
matches the base of the socket lever.
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down
the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.
2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
This motherboard adopts 478-pin CPU socket to support Intel®Pentium®4
CPU. It requires larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also
need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to
improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are
securely fastened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the
CPU fan to the CPU_FANconnector (CPU_FAN1, see page 10,No. 4). For
proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the
CPU fan and the heatsink.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
P4i65GV motherboard provides two 184-pinDDR (DoubleData Rate)DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration,
you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and
chip-type) memory modules in the DDR DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel
Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.
If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory
modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
Installing a DIMM
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align aDIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break
on the slot.
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and theDIMM if you force theDIMM into the
slot at incorrect orientation.
Step 3. Firmly insert theDIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

15
2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI, AMR, and AGI Slots)
There are 3 PCI slots, 1 AMR slot, and 1 AGI slot on this motherboard.
PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI
interface.
Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external
connecting position with the PCI card installed in “PCI3” slot, you
will no be able to install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card
has already been installed in the AMR slot.
AMR slot: AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with v.92
Modem functionality.
AGI slot: The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only
supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the compat-
ibleAGP VGAcards, please refer to the “Supported AGP VGA Cards List”
on page 8 and page 9.
To install the system with an add-on AGP VGA card, you must make
sure to install the driver of add-on AGP VGA card before you install
the onboard VGA driver. If the onboard VGA driver has already been
installed before you install the add-onAGP VGAcard, the system will
automatically set the onboard VGAas the primary graphics adapter. In
that case, if you want to install the add-on AGP VGA card, you need
to remove the onboard VGA driver first, and then install the add-on
AGPVGAcard and its driver. For the detailed instruction, please refer
to the documents in the Support CD, “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for
Windows 2000)” and “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for Windows XP)”,
which are located in the folder at the following path:
..\ Easy Dual Monitor
Installing an expansion card
Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power
supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware
settings for the card before you start the installation.
Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a
chassis).
Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws
for later use.
Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

16
2.5 Easy Dual Monitor Feature
Thanks to ASRock patented AGI8X Technology, this motherboard supports Easy
Dual Monitor upgrade. With the internal onboard VGA and the external add-on AGP
VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits of Dual Monitor feature. For the
detailed instruction, please refer to the document at the following path in the
Support CD: ..\ Easy Dual Monitor
2.6 Jumpers Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1
and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is
placed on these 2 pins.
Jumper Setting Description
PS2_USB_PWR1 Short pin2, pin3 to enable
(see p.10 No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2
or USB wake up events.
Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by
power supply.
JR1(see p.10 No.26)
JL1(see p.10 No. 25)
Note: If the jumpers JL1 and JR1 are short, both the front panel and the rear panel
audio connectors can work.
ClearCMOS
(CLRCMOS0, 2-pin jumper)
(seep.10 No.12)
Note: CLRCMOS0 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system
setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,
please turn off the computer andunplug the power cord, then use a jumper
cap to short the pins on CLRCMOS0 for 3 seconds. Please remember to
remove the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS
when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and
then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.
