Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the P4ITA2 mainboard. The P4ITA2

mainboard is an ATX mainboard that uses a 6-layer printed circuit

board and measures 305 x 244mm. The mainboard features a Socket

423 that accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting front

side bus (FSB) speeds up to 400 MHz and data bus bandwidths up to

3.2 GB/s.

The P4ITA2 incorporates the Intel Tehama 850 Northbridge and Intel

82801BA (ICH2) Southbridge chipsets, combining support for dual-

channel RAMBUS DRAM (RDRAM), 2X/4X AGP (1.5V only), and

the AC 97 codec.

The Intel 82801I/O controller hub includes an integrated audio-codec

controller that lets the processor efficiently decode sound generated by

the integrated audio system.

Key Features

This mainboard has these key features:

Socket 423 Processor

♦The PGA Socket 423

♦Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 CPUs

♦Supports a front-side bus (FSB) of 400 MHz

♦Supports 3.2 GB/s data bus bandwidth

Chipset

Intel’s innovative Tehama 850 Northbridge and 82801 Southbridge

chipsets are based on an innovative and scaleable architecture with

proven reliability and performance. A few of the advanced features of

the chipsets are:

♦Host interface controller supports 400 MHz frontside (system)

bus frequency

♦Supports up to 2 GB of Rambus DRAM

♦Supports a maximum memory bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s

♦AGP controller is AGP 2.0 compliant and supports 2x/4x Fast

Write Protocol (1.5V only)

♦PCI IDE controller supports PCI bus mastering, PIO modes

0~4, and UDMA 33/66/100

♦Two USB controllers double the bandwidth to 24 Mbps across

four ports

♦Integrated AC 97 audio that supports full surround sound with

up to 2 channels

Additional key features include support for four USB ports, an AC 97

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

power management.

Memory Support

♦The mainboard accommodates Rambus DRAM up to 2 GB

using 2.5V unbuffered Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) memory

modules.

VGA

♦The P4ITA2 includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times

the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP tech-

nology provides a direct 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.

AC 97 Audio Codec

♦The AC 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.1

specification, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Con-

verter) and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as

well as 18-bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent and

variable sampling rates.

Expansion Options

The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

♦Five 32-bit PCI slots

♦A 4xAGP slot (AGP Pro slot optional)

♦A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot

♦Two IDE channels and a floppy disk drive interface

The P4ITA2 supports Ultra DMA bus mastering with transfer rates of

33/66/100 MB/sec.

Onboard I/O Ports

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

♦Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

♦Two serial ports

♦One parallel port

♦One MIDI/game port

♦Two USB ports

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

BIOS Firmware

This mainboard uses AMI BIOS that enables users to configure 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 proces-

sor clock speeds.

Bundled Software

♦PC-Cillin 2000 provides automatic virus protection under

Windows 95/98/NT/2000

♦MediaRing Talk provides PC to PC or PC to Phone internet

phone communication

♦3Deepdelivers the precise imagery and displays accurate

color in your monitor

♦WinDVD2000 is a DVD playback application (optional)

Dimensions

♦ATX form factor of 305 x 244 mm

Static Electricity Precautions

Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static electricity.

Take the following precautions when unpacking the mainboard and

installing it in a system.

1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original static-

proof packaging until you are ready to install them.

2. During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you

don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the

bare metal of the system chassis.

3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching the

components unless it is absolutely necessary. During installation

put the mainboard on top of the static-protection packaging it came

in with the component side facing up.

Pre-Installation Inspection

Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and

connectors on the board.

If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not

connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor and

report the damage.
