Introduction
P4I865G/P/PEA series of mainboards utilize ( Intel®865G/P/PE
+ICH5/5R)chipset, providing a fully compatible, high performance
and cost-effective ATX platform. The new integrated technologies,
together with AC’97 audio, onboard VGA connector(supported on
P4I865GA only), integrated LAN(optional), 4 USB 2.0 ports
(Expanded capabilities for eight USB 2.0 ports), ATA100/66/33
and SATA, give customers an advanced, multimedia solution at
reasonable price. It provides 400/533/800MHz(supported on
P4I865G/PEA only) host bus speed to support Intel®Pentium®4
socket 478 processors and the largest DDR memory capacity is
up to 4GB. It also provides advanced features such as Wake up
by USB devices, Wake-on-LAN, ACPI function. Suspend to RAM,
the optimal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PC’s power con-
sumption drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick wake
up.

This mainboard utilizes ALC650 chip providing 5.1-Channel Audio. 5.1-Channel
Audio consists of Front Left, Front Right,Rear Left,Rear Right,Center and Woofer
for a complete surround sound effect .when 5.1-channel audio is available, the
front Left&Right jack can be connected to the Front speakers, the Rear Left &
Right jack can be connected to the rear speakers and the center & Woofer jack
can be connected to the center speaker and woofer.
Microphone function is offered by FP_AUDIO Connector on the mainboard now.
If you set 2-channel audio mode on -6A or -6AL mainboard, you can connect two
speakers to the front Left&Right jack , at the same time use the Rear Left&Right
jack as Line-in jack, and use the Center&Woofer jack as Microphone-in jack.

ATX12V Power Supply Connector & Power Switch (POWER SW)
P4I865G/P/PEA serial mainboard must use ATX 12V power supply. Be sure to
connect the power supply plug to this connector in its proper orientation. 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 sup-
ply (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.
If you change “Soft-off by PWR-BTTN” from default “Instant-off”
to“Delay4Sec”in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP” section
of the BIOS, the power switch should be pressed for morethan
4 seconds before the system powers down.
