2-5 Expansion Cards WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards. 2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation 1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers. 2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. 3.

The ATX Power Supply which fully support Pentium 4 processor must including this connector for support extra 12V voltage to maintain system power consumption.
(4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) PS/2 Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard Connector: PS2KBM The connectors for PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 Mouse. USB Port connector: USB The connectors are 4-pin connector that connect USB devices to the system board. LAN Port connector: LAN (only for P4X400DBP/P4X400DBZ) This connector is standard RJ45 connector for Network. Parallel Port Connector (25-pin female): LPT Parallel Port connector is a 25-pin D-Subminiature Receptacle connector.
This connector supports the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to your hard disk(s). If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumpers accordingly. Please refer to the documentation of your hard disk for the jumper settings.
(1) IEEE 1394A Port Header (9-pin) : 1394A/1394B (For P4X400DBZ only) Note: Orient the read marking on the 1394 ribbon cable to pin 1 1394A 1394B 2 10 2 10 9 Pin 1 9 Pin 1 IEE1394A Port Header AUDIO AUD_RET_L Line-Out/MIC Header for Front Panel (9-pin): AUDIO This header connect to Front Panel Line-out, MIC connector with cable.

(10) FAN Headers (3-pin) : SFAN1, SYSFAN, CPUFAN These connectors support cooling fans of 350mA (4.2 Watts) or less, depending on the fan manufacturer, the wire and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the black should be ground. Connect the fan’s plug to the board taking into consideration the polarity of connector.
2-7 Starting Up Your Computer 1. After all connection are made, close your computer case cover. 2. Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual. 4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b.
Chapter 3 Introducing BIOS The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
3-3 The Main Menu Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (Figure 3-1) will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from fourteen setup functions and two exit choices. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu.
Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values these are setting for optimal performances system operations for performance use. Load Standard Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the stable performance system operation that are factory settings for normal use. Set Supervisor/User Password Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords. Save & Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.
The time format is . Primary Master/Primary Slave Secondary Master/Secondary Slave Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<–> to select Manual, None, Auto type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If your hard disk drive type is not matched or listed, you can use Manual to define your own drive type manually.
Allows you to choose the VIRUS Warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection. If this function is enabled and someone attempt to write data into this area, BIOS will show a warning message on screen and alarm beep. Disabled (default) No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Sets the number of times a second to repeat a keystroke when you hold the key down. The settings are: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, and 30. Typematic Delay (Msec) Sets the delay time after the key is held down before is begins to repeat the keystroke. The settings are 250, 500, 750, and 1000. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if the System correct password is not entered at the prompt.
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled. Video RAM Cacheable Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
