Introducing the Mainboard

Congratulations on purchasing this mainboard. This mainboard is an ATX

mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures 305 mm x

220 mm. The mainboard is designed to support the mPGA Socket 478 Intel

P4 Celeron/Northwood/Prescott processors.

Based on the 848P (MCH) and 82801EB (ICH5) chipsets. This mainboard

offers up to 400/533/800MHz system bus speeds, AGP8X graphics interface,

Hyper-Threading technology, 200/266/333/400 MHz DDR memory controller,

10/100 LAN, dual independent Serial ATA ports and high-speed USB 2.0

connectivity.

This mainboard represents the most powerful desktop and cost-effective

available today. It provides advanced set of I/O ports, such as dual channel

IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, one high-speed serial port, an EPP/ECP

capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal Serial Bus)

connector, a PS/2 keyboard connector, mouse connector and audio jacks for

microphone, line-in and line-out. One AGP slot, five PCI local bus slots and one

CNR slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.

In addition to its excellent performance and stability, the mainboard is highly

suited for Internet and rich multimedia applications, including streaming video

download and are ideal for workstations and high-end home use.

Compare the mainboard’s package contents with the following checklist:

Standard Items

• One mainboard

• One diskette drive ribbon cable

• One IDE drive ribbon cable

• One auto-install software support CD

• One I/O panel

• Retention module

• One SATA cable (optional)

• This user’s manual

Processor The mainboard uses a mPGA 478-pin socket that has the

following features:

• Accommodates Intel/P4 Celeron/Northwood/Prescott

478-pins CPU (compliant with Intel VRM 10.0 spec.

0.8375V ~ 1.6V)

• Supports a system bus (FSB) of 400/533/800 MHz

• Supports System Bus Dynamic Bus Inversion (DBI)

Chipset Intel’s innovative 848P (MCH) and 82801EB (ICH5) chipsets

are based on an innovative and scalable architecture with

proven reliability and performance. A few of the advanced

features of the chipsets are:

• Support a single processor with a data transfer-rate of

400/533/800MHz

• Support DDR-SDRAM at 200/266/333/400MHz operation

• 1.5V AGP Interface With 8X SBA/Data Transfer and

1X/4X/8X Fast Write Capability

• USB Controller 2.0 (expanded capabilities for 8 Ports)

• 2 Channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE controllers

• 2 serial ATA host controllers

• Eight USB 2.0 Ports for serial transfers at 480Mbits/sec

Max

• PCI Rev. 2.3, 3.3V (5V Tolerant), 33 MHz interface Com-

pliant

• PCI to System Memory Data Streaming up to 132 MB/sec

Additional key features include support for an AC’97 (2.3) interface

for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and ACPI/OnNow

power management.

Memory The mainboard can accommodate 2.5V DDR SDRAM. It ac-

commodates two unbuffered 2.5V 184 pin slots with a total

maximum capacity of 2 GB.

AC’ 97 Audio

Codec The ALC655 is compliant with the AC’97 (REV 2.3) Codec and

supports six channels audio CODEC designed for PC multi-

media systems. It provides three analog line-level stereo inputs

with 5-bit volume control: Line_IN, CD, AUX. It also supports

S/PDIF output function and operates from a 3.3V power sup-

ply.

AGP This motherboard includes an AGP slot that provides eight

times the bandwidth of the original AGP specification to 2.1

gigabytes per second (GB/s). AGP technology provides a di-

rect connection between the graphics sub-system and the

processor so that the graphics do not have to compete for

processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.

Expansion

Options The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

• Five 32-bit PCI slots

• One AGP slot (support 1.5V only)

• One Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot (AC97

interface only)

• Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and

a floppy disk drive interface

The mainboard su

orts Ultra DMA bus masterin

with trans-

fer rates of 33/66/100 MB/sec.

Integrated I/O The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:

• Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

• One serial port

• One parallel port

• Four USB ports

• One LAN port (optional)

• Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out

Onboard LAN

(optional) The Realtek RTL8100C LAN chip is incorporated in the chipset

providing the mainboard with 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet con-

troller and integrated Ethernet PCI LAN capabilities.

BIOS

Firmware This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to con-

figure many system features including the following:

• Power management

• Wake-up alarms

• CPU parameters and memory timing

• CPU and memory timing

The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different

processor clock speeds.

Some hardware specifications and software items are subject to change

without prior notice.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com-

plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the

mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-

cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all

the features required. The mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette

drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient

power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that

the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge

of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 305 mm x 220 mm. Choose a case

that accommodates this form factor.

This concludes Chapter 1. The next chapter explains how to install the main-

board.

Installing the Mainboard

Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:

• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid

damage from static electricity.

• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely

grounded object before working on the mainboard.

• Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in.

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards.

This Quick Guide suggests the steps you can take to assemble your system

with the mainboards.
