Introduction
Overview
P2S series mainboards utilize Intel® 845DDR chipset which consist of two components:
the Intel® i845DDR Memory Controller Hub(Brookdale MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Con-
troller Hub2(ICH2), providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective
desktop PC or workstation. The new integrated technologies, together with VGA or AGP
4X support , AC’97 audio, integrated LAN(optional), 4 USB ports, ATA33/66/100 and IDE
RAID, give customers an advanced, multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides
400MHz host bus speed to support Intel®Pentium 4 socket 478 processors and the
largest DDR memory capacity is up to 2GB. It also provides advanced features such as
Wake up by USB devices, Wake-on-LAN, Wake-on-Modem and Keyboard Password
Power-on functions. Suspend to RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PC’s power consumption
drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup. BootEasy, QDI innovation,
lets the PC boot freely and rapidly. StepEasy, our new innovation is also supplied to
enable you to adjust CPU frequency step by step easily to utilize CPU’s potential ability.

layout chart for locations of all jumpers, external connectors, slots and I/O ports.
Furthermore, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your refer-
ence. The particular state of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the
following figures. Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please
pay attention to the direction.

ATX12V Power Supply Connectors & Power Switch (POWER SW)
The P2S series mainboards prefer an ATX12V power supply. Be sure to connect the ATX
12V power supply plugs to the connectors in their proper orientation. The difference
between ATX12V power supply and ATX power supply is that ATX12V power supply
provides two additional power connectors: AUX power connector and +12V power
connector.However,the P2S series mainboard provide an unique design especially for
those who still use legacy ATX power supply(without AUX and +12V connector) as
long as their ATX power supplies can provide enough current on +12V rail(at least 8
Amperes). System stability with an ATX power supply is not guaranteed and we are not
responsible for any damage caused.
The power switch (POWER SW) should be connected to a momentary switch. When
powering up your system, first turn on the mechanical switch of the power supply (if one
is provided), then push once the power switch. When powering off the system, you
needn’t turn off the mechanical switch, just Push once*the power switch.
Note: * If you change “soft-off by PWR-BTTN” from default “Instant-off” to “Delay
4 Sec” in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP” section of the CMOS SETUP, the
power button should be pressed for more than 4 seconds before the system
powers down.
Hard Disk LED Connector (HD_LED)
The connector connects to the case’s IDE indicator LED indicating the activity status of
IDE hard disk. The connector has an orientation. If one way doesn’t work, try the other
way.
Reset Switch (RESET)
The connector connects to the case’s reset switch. Press the switch once, the system
resets.

Wake-Up On Internal Modem (WOM)
Through this function, the system which is in the suspend or soft-off status can be
waked up by a ring signal received from the internal modem. When this function is
used, be sure an internal modem card which supports this function is used. Then
connect this header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set “Wake-Up by
Ring/LAN” as Enabled in the “Power Management Setup” section of the CMOS SETUP.
Save and exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes
effect.
Wake-Up On LAN (WOL)
Through the Wake-Up On LAN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wake up the system. If this function is to be used, please be sure an ATX12V power
supply of which 5VSB line is capable of delivering current at least720mA, and a LAN
adapter which supports this function is used. Then connect this header to the relevant
connector on the LAN adapter, set “Wake-Up by Ring/LAN” as Enabled in the “POWER
