1.4.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboards both come with the Hardware Monitoring System utility
contained on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware
conditions such as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of
both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the
items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning
message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default
Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good
working condition.
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
1.4. System Health Monitor Functions
Note: Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.

1.4.2. Installation
To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run
screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hardware Monitoring
button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please
refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instructions.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By Power-Button field of the Power
Management Setup, this switch allows the system to enter the Soft-Off or
Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring-on (Optional)
The Modem Ring-on feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft Power
Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to incoming calls. This feature supports the
external modem only.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically
power-on at a set date and time.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft
Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support the remote wakeup
function. The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least
720mA.
ACPI Ready
The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support
OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) for round the clock PC operation.

2.4.2. Memory Modules
The P4M mainboards have two 184-pin DDR DIMM slots and are able to
support a maximum of 1GB of DDR200/266 memory. The DDR DIMM slots
are located on the right hand side of the board. To install the DIMM’s into
these slots, make sure the white lever at each side of the slot has been pulled
down to an angle of approximately 45°. Make sure that the DIMM is in the
correct orientation. Place the DIMM on the slot and push down firmly.The white
levers will come back up and lock the module in place.
Important: The DIMM’s can only be fitted into the slots in one orien-
tation. Make sure that the DIMM’s are in the correct orientation and
the pins are correctly aligned before you insert them.
2.4.1. Installation of the CPU
To install your processor, please complete the following set of instructions
1. Locate a small dot marked on the top of the CPU. This mark indicates
Pin 1 of the CPU.
2. Locate Pin 1 for the Socket on the mainboard.
3. There is a lever on the side of the socket. First push this lever side-
ways and then lift it to a 90-degree angle.
4. Insert the CPU into the Socket. Please make sure that Pin 1 for the
CPU is inserted into Pin 1 of the Socket.
5. When the CPU is installed correctly push the lever back into place.
6. Install a proper heat sink with cooling fan for proper heat dissi-
pation. Failing to install a heat sink with cooling fan may cause over-
heating which will burnout your CPU and damage your mainboard.
IMPORTANT: CPU COOLING FAN
Please ensure that you have an approved heat sink with cooling fan.
Without a proper heat sink with cooling fan you will damage both the
mainboard and the CPU.

2.4.3. PCI Slots
The P4M mainboards each come
with three PCI slots. They are lo-
cated on the left hand side of the
board. Both PCI and PCI expan-
sion cards may require IRQ’s. This
mainboard complies with Plug and
Play (PnP) specifications. When-
ever a PnP compliant card is
added the system will automati-
cally be configured and the IRQ’s
will be assigned automatically.
When you are inserting your PCI
card make sure that the pins are
correctly aligned. When the pins
are properly aligned with the
hole’s in the slot, push down gen-
tly. 3 2 1

NOTE: “Out Of Memory” Error Message
If you have installed more than 512 MB of RAM and are running Microsoft Windows Mil-
lennium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95 you may ex-
perience memory problems. Two symptoms of these problems are being unable to run
an MS-DOS session while you are running Windows or the computer may stop respond-
ing while Windows is starting.
There are three possible solutions to this problem:
1) Reduce the amount of memory Vcache uses to 512 MB or less by altering the Max-
FileCache setting in the System.ini file.
2) Use the System Configuration Utility to reduce the amount of memory Windows
uses to 512 MB or less.
3) Reduce the memory installed on your computer to 512 MB or less.
This problem can also occur if an Advanced Graphic Port (AGP) video adapter is used.

2.5.1. Floppy Disk Connector
(FDC)
Connector: CN 8
Type: 34 pin block
The FDD connector can support two
Floppy drives. It is located at the
front of the mainboard. To connect,
use the ribbon-cable that has been
provided. Make sure that the red
strip is connected to PIN 1 of the
connector.
2.5. Internal Connectors
2.5.2. Primary and Secondary IDE connectors
Connector: CN 9 (primary)/ CN 10 (secondary)
Type: 40 pin blocks
The P4M mainboards have two IDE connectors: a primary and secondary.
Each IDE connector can support two IDE drives. These mainboards can there-
fore support up to four IDE devices each. If you install two hard drives, you
need to configure the second drive to slave mode in the BIOS setup. Please
refer to your hard drive manual for the appropriate jumper settings.

Connector: CN 15-A/ CN15-B/ CN15-D
Type: 20 pin block/2x2 12V/1x4 AUX12V
The P4M mainboards each come with three onboard power supply connectors
labeled from CN15-A, CN15-B and CN-15D. CN15-A and CN15-B are regular
ATX12V power supply connectors. CN15A and CN15D are regular ATX power
supply connectors. The auxiliary power supply connector (CN15-D) is for a
+12V and +5V power supply. These increased power supplies are necessary to
provide extra power for the slot. The ATX 12V power supplies are all downward
compatible with standard ATX power supplies (see page 18 for diagram).
