Introducing the Mainboard

Thank you for choosing this mainboard. This mainboard has a Socket-478

processor socket for Intel Pentium 4 type of processors supporting front side

bus (FSB) speeds up to 533 MHz.

This mainboard incorporates the VIA P4X333 Northbridge and

VT8235/8233A(CE) Southbridge chipsets that support AC 97 audio codec,

and provide Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 function. If the VT8235 SB is installed,

the mainboard supports built-in USB 2.0 providing higher bandwidth, imple-

ments Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 and is compliant with

UHCI 1.1 and EHCI 0.95; if the VT8233A(CE) SB, it doesn’t support USB2.0

and without LAN. This mainboard has four 32-bit PCI slots, one 4xAGP slot,

one CNR (Communications and Networking Riser) slot, and an onboard

10BaseT/100BaseTX Network interface (optional).

There is a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and key-

board, two serial ports, one parallel port, one MIDI/game port and maximum

six USB ports --two back-panel ports and onboard USB headers make four

extra USB ports by connecting the Extended USB Module to the mainboard.

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

Standard Items

• One mainboard

• This User’s Manual

• One diskette drive ribbon cable

• One IDE drive ribbon cable

• Software support CD

• One Retention Module

Processor • The PGA Socket 478

• Supports Intel Pentium 4 series CPUs

• Supports up to 533 MHz Front-Side Bus

Chipset The P4X333 Northbridge and VT8235 / 8233A(CE)

Southbridge in this chipset are in accordance with an innova-

tive and scalable architecture with proven reliability and

performance. Refer below for the combination and respective

details:

NB SB Function

P4X333 VT8235 Support 533 MHz FSB, Ultra

DMA ATA 133 and DDR333

P4X333 VT8233A(CE) Support 533 MHz FSB, Ultra

DMA ATA 133 and DDR333.

Without LAN and USB 2.0

• An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture

that provides the bandwidth up to 533 MB/s and per-

formance necessary for even the most demanding

Internet and 3D graphics

• Support for an 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D

graphics and video performance

• An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps

boost system performance by providing a high-speed

connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering

maximum sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec

Additional key features include support for six USB ports,

an AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring,

and ACPI/OnNow power management.

BIOS

Firmware This mainboard uses AMI BIOS that enables users to config-

ure 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.

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 x 244 mm. Choose a case that

accommodates this form factor.

Note: Any jumpers or connectors on your mainboard that cannot be found on

the layout are for manufacturing test only.

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.

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the mainboard

in a case:

This illustration shows an ex-

ample of a mainboard being

installed in a tower-type case:

Note: Do not overtighten

the screws as this

can stress the main-

board.

Most system cases have

mounting brackets installed in

the case, which correspond to

the holes in the mainboard.

Place the mainboard over the

mounting brackets and secure

the mainboard onto the mount-

ing brackets with screws.

2. Secure the mainboard with

screws where appropriate.

1. Place the mainboard

over the mounting brackets.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and

expansion slots on your mainboard.

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the main-

board.

Setting Jumpers

Use the mainboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with

more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the

jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations below show a 2-pin jumper.

When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,

the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the

jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just

one pin, the jumper is OPEN.

This illustration shows a 3-pin

jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

Short Open
