* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 8 for proper installation.
4. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
5. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!

Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-
board components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet
or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch
a safety grounded object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner
matches the base of the socket lever.
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU
into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down
the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.
Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to
the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
P4i65PE motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you
always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR
DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical
DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.2 No. 5) or
identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots; see p.2
No. 6), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard
also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please
install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel
Memory Configuration Table below.

If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility
and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the
same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots
(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4).
If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed
in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate
the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1
and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory
Technology.
