P4VTG CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. Step 2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point wards the lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation. Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation. Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it.
P4VTG 2.2 MEMORY MODULES Supports up to 2 DDR devices. Supports 266/333/400 MHz DDR devices. Maximum memory size is up to 2 GB. DIMM Socket Location DIMM1 DIMM2 DDR Module Total Memory Size (MB) 128MB/256MB/512MB/1GB *1 128MB/256MB/512MB/1GB *1 Max is 2 GB. DDR Module installation 1. 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. 2.
P4VTG expansion cards. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits. Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1 Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.
P4VTG Front Panel Audio Out Header: JAUDIO1 This connector allows user to connect the front audio out put headers on the PC front panel. It will disable the output on back panel audio connectors.
P4VTG Front Panel Connector: JPANEL1 This 24-pin connector includes Power-on, Reset, HDD LED, Power LED, Sleep button, speaker and IrDA Connection. It allows user to connect the PC case’s front panel switch functions.
P4VTG Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1 By placing the jumper on pin2-3, it allows user to restore the BIOS safe setting and the CMOS data, please carefully follow the procedures to avoid damaging the motherboard. JCMOS1 Assignment 3 1 Pin 1-2 close 3 1 Pin 2-3 close Normal Operation (Default). Clear CMOS data. ※ Clear CMOS Procedures: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remove AC power line. Set the jumper to “Pin 2-3 close”. Wait for five seconds. Set the jumper to “Pin 1-2 close”. Power on the AC.
P4VTG COM2 Header: JCOM2-Header (Optional) This header allows user to connect additional serial cable on the PC back panel. It can be used to connect serial devices, for example, mouse or modem.

No power to the system at all Power light don’t illuminate, fan inside power supply does not turn on. 2.
P4VTG CHAPTER 3: WARPSPEEDER™ 3.1 INTRODUCTION [WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor. With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage.
P4VTG 2. When you see the following dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is completed. If the “Launch the WarpSpeeder Tray Utility” checkbox is checked, the Tray Icon utility and [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be automatically and immediately launched after you click “Finish” button. Usage: The following figures are just only for reference, the screen printed in this user manual will change according to your motherboard on hand.
P4VTG [WarpSpeeder™] includes 1 tray icon and 5 panels: 1. Tray Icon: Whenever the Tray Icon utility is launched, it will display a little tray icon on the right side of Windows Taskbar. This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™] Utility. You can use the mouse by clicking the left button in order to invoke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following figure.
P4VTG 3. Voltage Panel Click the Voltage button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Voltage Panel will slide out to up as the following figure. In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not. The default setting is “No”. If you want to get the best performance of overclocking, we recommend you click the option “Yes”.
P4VTG 4. Overclock Panel Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock Panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
P4VTG Overclock Panel contains the these features: a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “+1MHz button”, and “+3MHz button”: provide user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment. Warning: Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you verify every speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just click Auto overclock button and let [WarpSpeeder™] automatically gets the best result for you. b.
P4VTG d. execute a series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the [WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™] will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current frequency will be saved into system registry.
P4VTG hints of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of [WarpSpeeder™] utility. Note: Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere other panels’ functions.
