Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity could damage components on this motherboard.
Take the following precautions while unpacking this motherboard
and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their
original static-proof package until you are ready to install
them.
2. While installing, please 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. Carefully hold this motherboard by its edges. Do not touch
those components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this
motherboard on the top of static-protection package with
component side facing up while installing.
Pre-Installation Inspection
1.
Inspect this motherboard whether there are any damages to
components and connectors on the board.
If you suspect this motherboard has been damaged, do not
connect power to the system. Contact your motherboard
vendor about those damages.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
This motherboard has a Socket-478 to support Intel Pentium 4/
Prescott processors with Hyper-Threading Technology and
Front-Side Bus (FSB) speeds up to 800 MHz. The Prescott CPU
provides higher power, better voltage regulator tolerance and
thermal solution, performing better graphics and audio, speeding
up the processor. Hyper-Threading Technology, designed to take
advantage of the multitasking features in Windows XP, gives you
the power to do more things at once.
This motherboard integrates the Intel 865GV Northbridge along
with Intel 82801EB I/O Controller Hub (ICH5) that supports
the Serial ATA — a new interface for high-performance and
mainstream desktop PCs; the built-in USB 2.0 providing higher
bandwidth, implementing Universal Serial Bus Specification
Revision 2.0 and is compliant with UHCI 1.1 and EHCI 0.95.
This motherboard supports 6-channel AC’97 Audio Codec,
Ultra DMA 100/66 function, one AGP Express slot, one CNR
slot and three 32-bit PCI slots. There is a full set of I/O ports
including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, one VGA port,
one serial port, one parallel port, three audio jacks for micropone,
line-in and line-out, four back-panel USB2.0 ports and onboard
USB headers USB3/USB2 providing four extra USB2.0 ports by
connecting the Extended USB Module to the motherboard.
This motherboard is a Micro ATX motherboard and has power
connectors for an ATX power supply.
