IntroductionChapter 1
1: Introduction
The mP4G2 Series motherboard is a high-performance
personal computer motherboard that supports the Intel®
Pentium® 4 processor. The motherboard accommodates
200/266 MHz DDR SDRAM (mP4G2) or 100 MHz
SDRAM (mP4G2S) using two DIMM memory sockets.
Two 32-bit PCI slots provide expansion flexibility.
The mP4G2 Series motherboard uses the latest Intel
845GV chipset (mP4G2) or 845GL chipset (mP4G2S) to
integrate all system control functions.
Features of this motherboard include support for:
•Intel® Pentium® 4 processors
•Front Side Bus (FSB)
— 100/133 MHz system bus (mP4G2)
— 100 MHz system bus (mP4G2S)
•up to 2GB of PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM
(mP4G2) or PC133 SDRAM (mP4G2S)
•two 32-bit PCI/33 MHz slots
•on board Graphics
•two USB 2.0 external ports on rear panel and four
USB 2.0 internal ports for the front panel
For a complete list of specifications, see Chapter 6,
Specifications.

JP1: Clear CMOS Jumper
This jumper switch, JP1, clears the CMOS Setup con-
figuration that is stored in the real-time clock’s CMOS
memory. If configuration becomes corrupted, or if the
CMOS settings are changed to an unsuitable configura-
tion, the motherboard may not work properly. JP1 lets you
delete the configuration data stored in CMOS memory
and reset the CMOS to the Optimized Defaults.
Follow the procedure below to clear CMOS memory.
1 Turn off and unplug the system and remove the system
housing cover.
2 Set JP1 to the Clear CMOS position by placing the
jumper cap over pins 2 and 3 for one minute.
3 Return the jumper cap to the Normal setting, pins 1
and 2.
4 Replace the system housing cover, plug in the system
and power on.
5 Run the CMOS Setup Utility and load the Optimized
Defaults. Make any custom settings you require. (See
Chapter 4, BIOS Settings.)
6 Save the settings as you exit the program and restart
your computer.

CPU Socket & Cooling Fan / Heatsink Frame
The mPGA478B CPU socket supports a 478-pin Intel
Pentium 4 processor. The Pentium 4 CPU requires a
cooling fan/heatsink, which attaches to the board using a
retention mechanism mounting frame. See the section on
installing the CPU in Chapter 3.
