2. Installation P4 Combo is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 9.6-in, 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.
2.1 CPU Sockets This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to install either Intel 775-Pin CPU or Intel 478-Pin CPU into this motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not install both of them into this motherboard. Important: If you install a 775-Pin CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to adjust the setting of J1--J6, J8--J14, J17, J18, and J21 Jumpers by shorting pin1 and pin2 of all these 16 sets of jumpers.
2.2 CPU Installation This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to install either Intel 775-Pin CPU or Intel 478-Pin CPU into this motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not install both of them into this motherboard. I. For the installation of Intel 775-Pin CPU, please follow the steps below.
black line black line Step 2. Insert the 775-Pin CPU: Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are marked with black lines. Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches. Pin1 orientation key notch Pin1 alignment key orientation key notch alignment key 775-Pin Socket 775-Pin CPU For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket. Step 2-3.
II. For the installation of Intel 478-Pin CPU, please follow the steps below. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. 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.
2.3 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to install either Intel 775-Pin CPU or Intel 478-Pin CPU into this motherboard. It requires different types of heatsinks and cooling fans to fit with the installed CPU to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) P4 Combo motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. Step 1. Step 2. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. notch break notch break The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation.
2.5 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots) There are 4 PCI slots and 1 AGP slot on P4 Combo motherboard. PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. AGP slot: The AGP slot is used to install a graphics card. The ASRock AGP slot has a special locking mechanism which can securely fasten the graphics card inserted. Please do NOT use a 3.
2.6 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins. Jumper PS2_USB_PWR1 Setting 1_2 2_3 Description Short pin2, pin3 to enable +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 or USB wake up events.
2.7 Onboard Headers and Connectors Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the motherboard!
