Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
This motherboard has a Socket-478 to support Intel Pentium 4 processors
with Hyper-Threading Technology and Front-Side Bus (FSB) speeds up to
800 MHz. Hyper-Threading Technology, designed to take advantage of the
multitasking features in Windows XP, gives you the power to do more things at
once.
It integrates the VIA P4M800 Northbridge and VT8237 Southbridge that
supports the Serial ATA interface for high-performance and maiinstream
desktop PCs; the built-in USB 2.0 providing higher bandwidth, implementing
Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 and is compliant with UHCI
1.1 and EHCI 0.95. It supports AC’ 97 Audio Codec and provides Ultra DMA
133/100/66 function. It has one 8X AGP, one CNR and three 32-bit PCI slots.
There is a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard,
one serial port, one parallel port, one LAN port(optional), one VGA port, three
audio jacks for Line-in, Line-out and Microphone, four back-panel USB2.0 ports
and onboard USB headers providing extra ports by connecting the Extended USB
Module to the motherboard.
It is a Micro ATX motherboard and has power connectors for an ATX power
supply.
Key Features
The key features of this motherboard include:
Socket-478 Processor
• Supports Intel Pentium 4 Series processors with Hyper-Threading
Technology
• Supports up to 800 MHz Front-Side Bus
Hyper-Threading technology enables the operating system into thinking it’s
hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both
on separate ‘logical’ processors within the same physical processor.
Chipset
There are VIA P4M800 Northbridge and VT8237 in the chipsets in accordance
with an innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and perfor-
mance.
• High Performance UMA North Bridge: Integrated Pentium 4 North
Bridge with 800 MHz FSB support and UniChrome 3D / 2D Graphics
& Video Controllers in a single chip
• Supports Intel 800/533/400 MHz FSB Pentium 4 and Pentium M
processors and Hyper Threading Technology

4 Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the
manufacturer’s Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you
created in Step 3.
5 Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your
computer’s diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility
and change the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features
Setup page, to force your computer to boot from the floppy diskette
drive first.)
6 At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press
<Enter>.
7 Type the filename of the new BIOS in the “File Name to Program”
text box. Follow the onscreen directions to update the motherboard
BIOS.
8 When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from
the diskette drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard has
a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed
BIOS from being overwritten.
Using BIOS
When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears. The main menu of the
Setup Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight
indicates which option is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move
the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option
by pressing <Enter>.
Some options lead to pop-up dialog boxes that prompt you to verify that you
wish to execute that option. Other options lead to dialog boxes that prompt you
for information.
Some options (marked with a triangle ) lead to submenus that enable you to
change the values for the option. Use the cursor arrow keys to scroll through the
items in the submenu.
In this manual, default values are enclosed in parenthesis. Submenu items are
denoted by a triangle .

Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously.
Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but only one direction
at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the
onboard parallel port.
Parallel Port Mode (ECP+EPP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are
four options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP
(Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and
output. ECP and EPP modes are only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware
peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use
DMA 3 or DMA 1.
