Note:
This manual is suitable for P2S series of mainboards. Each
mainboard is carefully designed for the PC user who wants
different features.
P2S: without onboard audio onboard LAN onboard VGA
onboard RAID
-A: with onboard audio
-L: with onboard LAN
-G: with onboard VGA
-R: with IDE RAID
Caution
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing
expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the memory
devices, otherwise your mainboard or the system memory might be
seriously damaged.
Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the CPU and the heatsink
to keep them fully contacted to meet the heat sink requirement.

Chapter 1
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.
