Introduction
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 systems 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.
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.
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.
Note: Only use this utility in Windows ® operating systems.

2.3.1. 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.
The P4 Mainboard Series Page 13
2.3.2. Memory Modules
The P4 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 DIMMs 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 orienta-
tion. Make sure that the DIMM’s are in the correct orientation and the
pins are correctly aligned before you insert them.
Hardware Installation
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.

2.3.3. PCI Slots
The P4 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

AGP is a dedicated bus slot. It oper-
ates at 66 MHz and transfers data at
a rate up to 106 MB/s. This allows 3D
applications to run more smoothly.
The 366 mainboards each come with
one AGP slot. These slots are able to
support 2x and 4x AGP cards.

2.4.2. Primary and Secondary IDE connectors
Connector: CN 9 (primary)/ CN 10 (secondary)
Type: 40 pin blocks
The P4 mainboards have two IDE connectors: a primary and secondary. Each
IDE connector can support two IDE drives. These mainboards can therefore
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.
2.4.1. 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.

The P4 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 next page for diagram).

2.5.1 PW: Power On/Off and External Suspend Switch Connector
The Power On/Off connector has two functions. It can be the Power Switch or
Suspend Switch of your PC system. You can either choose “Delay 4 Sec” or
“Instant OFF” (Please refer to the Award BIOS setup instructions in Chapter
3).
Option 1: If you choose “Delay 4 Sec.” In the BIOS CMOS Setup, the func-
tion of “PW” will be:
A. When the system power is "OFF", press this switch, the system will
power on.
B. When system power is "ON”, you can select two different modes: -
Mode 1: Press and hold the Power ON button for less than 4 seconds and then
release it. The system will be turned into Suspend mode (turned into the
GREEN mode) When the system is in the Suspend mode:-
Press the Power on button (less than 4 seconds), the system will return
to Full-ON mode.
Press and hold the Power On Button for more than 4 seconds, the sys-
tem will be powered off.
Mode 2: Press and hold the Power ON button for more than 4 seconds, the
system will be completely powered off.
Option 2: If you choose “Instant OFF.” In the BIOS CMOS Setup, the power
switch will operate like a normal ON / OFF Power button.
2.5.2. SL LED Connector
When the AC power is “ON” the mainboard will always have a standby voltage
of +5V and the SL LED will be on. If this LED is off it means that the AC power
is “OFF” or has been disconnected.
2.5.3. IDE HDD LED Connector
Any read and write activity by the HDD will turn this LED on.
