Installation
This chapter provides you with information about
hardware setup procedures. While installing the
mainboard, carefully hold the components and
closely follow the installation procedures. Some
components may be damaged if they are installed
incorrectly.
It is recommended to use a grounded wrist strap
before handling computer components. Static elec-
tricity can damage some components.

CPU Installation
The mainboard supports the Intel®Pentium®4 Willamette/Northwood and
Celeron®processors in the 478 pin package (PGA478). When installing the
CPU, ensure the CPU has a large-size heatsink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If the heatsink and cooling
fan are not included with the CPU, contact your dealer to purchase and
install them before turning on the computer.
CPU Installation
1. Pull the lever sideways away from
the socket. Then raise the lever up
to a 90-degree angle.
2. Look for the dot/cut edge. The dot/
cut edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU will only fit
in the correct orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly, then
close the lever shut to complete the
installation.

Installation
2-3
CPU Fan Installation
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you
MUST attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU.
Overheating will cause serious damage to the CPU and system. Ensure the
cooling fan and heatsink work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the mainboard.
2. Position the heatsink and fan
onto the retention mechanism.
3. Mount the fan on top of the
heatsink. Press down the fan
firmly until its four clips become
wedged in the holes of the reten-
tion mechanism.

Chapter 2
2-4
4. Press the two levers down to
secure the fan. Each lever can
be pressed down in only ONE
direction.
5. Connect the fan power cable
from the mounted fan to the 3-
pin fan power connector on the
mainboard.

Memory Module Installation
The Insight Solutions P4-ITX Mini-ITX Mainboard provides one DIMM
slot for DDR SDRAM memory modules.
You can install either single sided or double sided 184-pin DDR DIMM
modules into the DDR DIMM sockets, depending on your requirements.
Differing from SDR DIMM, DDR DIMM modules have only one notch on
the center of the module. The number of pins on either side of the breaks are
also different. The memory modules will only fit if placed in the correct ori-
entation.

SDRAM Module Installation Procedures.
1. The DDR DIMM module has only one
notch on the center.
2. Align the SDRAM module with the
corresponding notches on the DIMM
slot. The modules will only fit if placed
in the correct position.
3. With both hands, press the SDRAM
module down into the DIMM slot so that
the white retaining latches rotate up and
secure the module in place (see picture
below).
Available SDRAM Configurations
Refer to the table below for available SDRAM configurations on the main-
board.

Connecting the Power Supply
The mainboard requires an ATX power supply for powering the system.
Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all com-
ponents are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATXPWR
This connector is for the ATX power supply. To connect to the ATX power
supply, make sure the plugs of the power supply are inserted in the correct
orientation and the pins are properly aligned. Then, push down the plugs
firmly into the connector.
AUX 12-Volt Power Connector: AUX12V
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
