Product Description
The MB898/MB898F LGA 775 Pentium®4 motherboard incorporates
the Intel Q965 chipset that can utilize a single LGA775 processor of up
to 4.0GHz or higher and supports FSB frequency of 533/800/1066Mhz
(133MHz(533MT/s), 200MHz(800MT/s) and 266MHz(1066MT/s)
HCLK respectively.
The Q965 chipset is designed for use with the Pentium®4 processor with
1M Level 2 (CPU integrated) cache. The integrated GMCH component
provides the CPU interface, DDR2 interface, Hub Interface and PCI
Express graphics interface.
Four DDR2 memory sockets supports DDR2 400/533/667/800 SDRAM
DIMM modules of up to 8GB in capacity.
The board is designed with one Intel 82566DC PCI Express Gigabit
PHY (MB898F/RF only) or 82562V 10/100 PHY (MB898 only) LAN
controllers. Serial ATA connectors offer 3Gb/s data throughput speed -
faster than the most advanced parallel ATA.
Expansion is provided by four PCI slots, two PCI Express x1 and one
PCI Express x16. Other advanced features include ten USB 2.0 ports,
IrDA interface, digital I/O, four serial ports, watchdog timer and audio
function. Dimensions of the board are 12” by 9.5” in an ATX form
factor.
Remarks: MB898/MB898F supports Intel Core 2 Duo Dual Core
CPU, Pentium® D Dual Core CPU and Pentium® 4 HT single core
CPU. It also supports EMT64 processors.
MB898RF supports six Serial ATA connectors (with RAID function).
MB898 and MB898F support four Serial ATA connectors only.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The MB898/MB898F motherboard supports an LGA 775 processor
socket for Intel® Pentium® 4 processors.
The LGA 775 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Refer to the pictures below, from left to right, on how to place
the processor into the CPU socket. Please note that the cover of the
LGA775 socket must always be installed during transport to avoid
damage to the socket.
ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATX1 and
ATX_12V power connectors. ATX1 is a 24-pin power connector and
ATX_12V is a 8-pin 12V power connector.
The 24-pin power connector can to be connected to a standard 20-pin
ATX power connector in a standard ATX power supply (Min. 400watt).
Note: The power supply 5VSB voltage must be at least 2A.

Installing the Memory
The MB886/MB898F motherboard supports four DDR2 memory
sockets for a maximum total memory of 8GB in DDR memory type. It
supports DDR2 533/667/800.
Basically, the system memory interface has the following features:
Supports two 64-bit wide DDR data channels
Available bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s (DDR2 800) for single-channel
mode and 12.8GB/s (DDR2 800) in dual-channel mode.
Supports 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb DDR2 technologies.
Supports only x8, x16, DDR2 devices with four banks
Supports only unbuffered DIMMs
Supports opportunistic refresh
Up to 32 simultaneously open pages (four per row, four rows
maximum)
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the
following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset
specifications.
1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDR II memory
module is installed.
2. To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules (it is
recommended to use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips,
and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets of the same color.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table:
