Motherboard Description
This chapter describes the major features of your motherboard.
Your motherboard offers the following features:
●Micro ATX form factor
●Intel®Pentium®4 processor in the mPGA 478 pin package
●Two DIMM sockets, expandable up to 2 GB using 1 GB DDR SDRAM modules
●Two built-in Enhanced IDE controllers
●Intel®82845GL Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
●Intel®82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
●Built-in high performance audio CODEC and PCI audio controller in Intel®82845GL GMCH
●SMSC LPC47M192 super I/O controller
●Realtek RTL8100B LAN controller
●Advanced Power Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI)
●Three 32-bit PCI expansion card connectors
●System BIOS and video BIOS shadow RAM

●Two PS/2 style connectors for keyboard and mouse
●One video connector
●Four USB 2.0 connectors
●One LAN connector
●One serial port connector
●One parallel port connector
●Three audio jacks
NOTE
The internal graphics device on Intel 82845GL supports Intel Dynamic Video Memory
Technology (D.V.M.T). D.V.M.T. dynamically responds to application requirements by
allocating the proper amount of display and texturing memory.
As your system has sharing memory architecture using the main memory for video memory,
the usable main memory size is less than real size when the computer is running.
●Video memory using main memory

Using the BIOS Setup Program 2-1
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This chapter explains how to use the BIOS Setup program. You can use the Setup program to
change the computer’s configuration information and boot-up sequence, etc.
About the Setup Program
Your system uses a Phoenix BIOS, which is stored in flash memory on the motherboard. This
enables you to run the program at any time when you turn on or reset your computer.
The configuration you define through the Setup program is stored in a special area of memory
called CMOS RAM. The battery on the motherboard backs up this memory, so the memory is not
erased when you turn off or reset the computer. Whenever you reboot the computer, it checks the
settings, and if it discovers a difference between the information in the CMOS RAM and its actual
hardware configuration, it prompts you to run the Setup program.

the menu displays function keys used in Setup.
Entering the Setup Program
To enter the Setup program, turn the computer on and press DEL as soon as you see the
“emachines” logo.
If you do not press the key quickly, the computer starts loading the operating system.
NOTE
For reference purposes, write down the current Setup settings. When you make changes to the
settings, update this record.
NOTE
The actual menus displayed on your system may differ depending on the hardware and features
installed in your computer.

Installing Board Options 3-1
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This chapter describes how to install board options in your computer. You can use these
instructions to install a variety of devices and board options. Although your board options may
look a bit different from the ones illustrated herein, you can install and remove it the same way.
Before You Begin
WARNINGS
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with
personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using
and modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks,
or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this chapter. Failure to
disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the computer or
perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the
motherboard can continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures described in this
chapter only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer
chassis.
