P3 Series User's Manual Chapter 2 Hardware Setup 2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis The mainboard and its component layouts illustrated in this chapter were based mainly on model “IP35-PRO”, unless specifically stated. • Choose a chassis big enough to install this mainboard. • As some features for this mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the features required.
P3 Series User's Manual 2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions: 1. Please make sure that the mainboard supports the CPU. 2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU. 3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and CPU cooler. 4.
P3 Series User's Manual 2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler. 2.4 Installation of Memory Modules This mainboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRII DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology.
P3 Series User's Manual 2.5 Connecting Peripheral Devices 2.5.1 Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors Each of the IDE port connects up to two IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one 40-pin, 80-conductor,and 3-connector Ultra ATA/66 ribbon cables. Connect the single end (blue connector) at the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE port of this board, the other two ends (gray and black connector) at the shorter length of the ribbon cable to the connectors of your hard drives.
P3 Series User's Manual Chapter 3 Jumpers & Headers Setup 3.1 Checking Jumper Settings • For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position. • For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in. How to identify the PIN1 jumpers? Please check the mainboard carefully, the PIN1 is marked by "1" or white thick line. 3.

P3 Series User's Manual Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called ROM BIOS when it was stored in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip. Now manufacturers would like to store BIOS in EEPROM which means Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series of mainboard is stored in EEPROM, and is the first program to run when you turn on your computer. BIOS performs the following functions: 1.
