cessor Intel Pentium 4 and the single-chip North Bridge Intel 845GE.
The Intel P4 processor is a rapid execution engine supporting 800/
533/400MHz system bus, while North Bridge Intel 845GE is a high per-
formance integrated chipset providing DDR 333/266 SDRAM memory
interface, Hub interface, AGP interface as well as an integrated Graph-
ics Port for VGA display.
Integrated with 845GE, South Bridge Intel ICH4 supports LPC I/O,
upstream Hub interface, PCI interface, IDE interface, USB 2.0 interface,
AC’97 2.2 (6-channel) Audio interface and the interrupt control. This
chapter is to introduce to users every advanced function of this high
performance integration.
** If any difference is found between the mainboard description
and the Mainboard you are using, please look up the Errata/

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
1. We recommend to install your CPU before any other components.
For detailed installation instructions of processor, you can also refer
to the pamphlet enclosed in your CPU package.
2. Installing a cooling fan with a good heat sink is a must for proper
heat dissipation for your CPU. Get ready an appropriate fan with
heat sink for proper installation. Improper fan and installation will
damage your CPU.
3. In case CPU Vcore, CPU clock or Frequency Ratio is adjustable on
board, please follow the instructions described in the User’s manual
for proper setup. Incorrect setting will cause damage to your CPU.
The following topics are included in this chapter:

Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
2-1 CPU Installation with Socket 478B
1) CPU Working Frequency
On the heatsink side of a Pentium 4 CPU, there printed a line of figures
to identify its specifications. The line consists of 4 parts:
1. CPU Working Frequency: this part depicts the working frequency of
the CPU. The Intel P4 processor with three differeent System Bus
mode provides a variety of speeds ranging from 2A Ghz to 3.2Ghz.
400MHz System Bus: 2.60, 2.50, 2.40, 2.20, 2A GHz
533MHz System Bus: 3.06, 2.80, 2.66, 2.53, 2.40, 2.26 GHz
800MHz System Bus: 3.20, 3, 2.80C, 2.60C, 2.40C GHz
2. CPU L2 Cache: this part depicts the L2 Cache size. For example,
512 stands for 512 KB L2 Cache; 256 stands for 256 KB L2 Cache
3. System Bus: this part depicts the System Bus (Front Side Bus) is
provided by CPU clock x 4. For example,
800MHz = 200MHz(CPU clock) x 4; 533MHz = 133MHz x 4
400MHz = 100MHz x 4
Note: System Bus vs CPU Clock
P4 CPU is a quad-pumped CPU. The system bus is provided by the
CPU clock x 4. Therefore, users can figure out the P4 CPU clock by the
System Bus divided by 4.

Pin 1
This mainboard is built with CPU
Socket 478B (478-pin) supporting the
Intel Pentium 4 CPU:
• Follow the steps described in this
section to install the 478-pin Pen-
tium 4 CPU into the on board
Socket 478.
• After installation of Pentium 4 CPU,
you must also install the specific
Pentium 4 CPU fan designed in
tandem with this CPU. This CPU
Fan installation is described in next
section.
• This mainboard supports Hyper-
threading dual-in-one CPU, the
function of which can be enabled
by Windows XP. (See illustration
on the right.)
1. First pull sideways the lever of
Socket 478, and then turn it up
900so as to raise the upper layer
of the socket from the lower
platform.
3. Make sure that all CPU pins have
completely entered the socket
and then lower down the lever
to lock up CPU to socket.
2. Configure Pin 1 of CPU to Pin 1
of the Socket, just as the way
shown in the diagram on the
right. Adjust the position of CPU
until you can feel all CPU pins
get into the socket with ease.

( If Hyper Threading CPU is
installed successfully with O/S

2-3 Memory Installation
How to tackle the memory Modules:
• Make sure to unplug your power supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.
• This mainboard supports up to 2GB unbuffered DDR 333/266/200
SDRAM, with 2 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert other type of
modules into these slots.
• DDR DIMM slot has 184-pins and one notch. Insert a DDR SDRAM
vertically into the 184-pin slot with the notch-to-rib matching. Press
the Module down in a gradual way until it surely reaches the bottom
and clicks straight up the two latches on the left and right of the slot.
If any one of the latches has not turned up completely, you should
unplug the module and press it down a bit more firmly.
2-3.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module
2-3.2 To Remove a DIMM
First power off system and then press down the holding latches on
both sides of slot to release the module from the DIMM slot.

you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its
jumpers correctly. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for
the jumper settings.
