Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board,

components or devices even before installing them in your system

unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components

without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra

care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its

anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of

the components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connec-

tors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor,

disk drive and other components. Perform the upgrade in-

struction procedures described at an ESD workstation

only. If such a station is not available, you can provide

some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap

and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a

wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact

with the system chassis throughout any procedures requir-

ing ESD protection.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.....

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis

cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,

cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Introduction

Features

The Watchdog Timer function allows your

application to regularly “clear” the system at

the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will

reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to

operate.

The system board supports Intel proces-

sors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Ena-

bling the functionality of Hyper-Threading

Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following

platforms.

Components:

• CPU - an Intel®Pentium®4 Processor with HT Technology

• Chipset - an Intel®chipset that supports HT Technology

• BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT

Technology

Please refer to Appendix A for information about enabling the func-

tionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology. For more information on

Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a

type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through

reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock.

This effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling

the speed of data transfer.

The Intel 865G northbridge chip comes integrated

with the Intel®Extreme Graphics 2 technology

providing 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth

motion and extreme detail. It supports the latest 2D and 3D APIs,

delivering real-life environment and character effects.

Introduction

The audio jacks at the rear panel will

support 5.1-channel audio only when the

audio utility is configured to support this function. The mic-in at the

rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that

transfers digital audio signals to a device without

having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as

a DAT machine or audio processing device.The S/PDIF connector on

the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-

puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like

CD recorders.

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant

with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to

1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the stand-

ard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

The Realtek RTL8110SC PCI Gigabit LAN con-

troller support up to 1Gbps data transmission.

AGP is an interface designed to support high per-

formance 3D graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated

pipeline to access system memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha

blending.The AGP slot supports AGP 8x (0.8V) with up to 2.13GB/

sec. bandwidth and AGP 4x (1.5V) with up to 1066MB/sec. band-

width for 3D graphics applications. It handles large amounts of

graphics data with the following features:

• Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide

memory access latency.

• Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly

100 percent efficiency.

AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better graphics to

your PC.

Introduction

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connec-

tor for wireless connectivity between your computer

and peripheral devices.The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specifi-

cation supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1

meter.

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1

ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth

while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a

marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-

puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug

and Play peripherals.

This feature allows the system that is in the

Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to

wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external mo-

dem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI

PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the

PC.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-

port

≥

720mA.

This feature allows the network to remotely

wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.

It is supported via the onboard LAN port, via a PCI LAN card that

uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal or via a LAN

card that uses the Wake-On-LAN connector. However, if your sys-

tem is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only

through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-

port

≥

720mA.

This function allows you to use the PS/2 key-

board or PS/2 mouse to power-on the sys-

tem.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-

port

≥

720mA.

Introduction

This function allows you to use a USB key-

board or USB mouse to wake up a system

from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

Important:

If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for

2 USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power sup-

ply must support

≥

1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the

5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥

2A.

The RTC installed on the system board allows your

system to automatically power-on on the set date

and time.

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI

(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) speci-

fication. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to imple-

ment Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems

that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Win-

dows®®

®®

®98/2000/ME/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when

enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the

Suspend to RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the

system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”

when you shut down Windows®®

®®

®98/2000/ME/XP without having to

go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applica-

tions and operating system. This is because the system is capable of

storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session

into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off.The oper-

ating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you

power-on the system.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-

port

≥

720mA.

When power returns after an AC power fail-

ure, you may choose to either power-on the

system manually or let the system power-on

automatically.

Warning:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, proces-

sor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the

upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.

If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protec-

tion by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal

part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish

and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any proce-

dures requiring ESD protection.

System Memory

Warning:

When the DRAM Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is

present on the DDR sockets. Power-off the PC then unplug the

power cord prior to installing any memory modules. Failure to do so

will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

The system board supports DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data

Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the

data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling

edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation

therefore doubling the speed of data transfer.
