CAUTION!  
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 30.  
2. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you  
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the  
installation guide of memory modules on page 16 for proper installation.  
3. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended  
to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU  
bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the  
CPU.  
4. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.  
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the  
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it  
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal  
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.  
5. If you install PCI Express VGA card to AGI Express slot, PCIE2 slot (PCIE  
x 1) and SATAII functions will be disabled. For the information of the  
compatible PCI Express VGA cards, please refer to the “Supported PCI  
Express VGA Card List for AGI Express Slot” on page 9. For the proper  
installation of PCI Express VGA card, please refer to the installation guide  
on page 18.  
6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono  
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,  
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 11 for  
proper connection.  
7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP  
SP1 / 2000 SP4.  
8. Because of Intel 915P chipset limitation, Windows 98 / ME does not  
support USB 2.0 but only USB 1.1. Besides, after installing Windows 98 /  
ME, two display adapter controllers will appear in “Display Adapters” of  
“Device Manager”. Please remove one of the display adapter controllers,  
and then you can successfully install the VGA driver.

Installation  
This motherboard adopts JMicron JMB360 chipset that supports Serial ATAII  
(SATAII) hard disks, and Intel ICH6 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA  
(SATA) hard disks. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard  
for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII  
hard disks.  
It is recommended to plug SATAII HDD to SATAII_1 connector and connect  
SATA HDD to SATA1-4 connector.  
STEP1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.  
STEP2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.  
STEP3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA /  
SATAII connector.  
STEP4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard  
disk.  
2.14 Hot Plug Function for SATAII HDDs  
775i915P-SATA2 motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATAII Devices.  
(For this motherboard, only JMicron JMB360 chipset provides Hot Plug function  
support; Intel ICH6 chipset does not support Hot Plug function.)  
NOTE  
What is Hot Plug Function?  
If the SATAII HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called “Hot  
Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATAII HDDs while the  
system is still power-on and in working condition.  
However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been  
installed into the SATAII HDD.

CPU Thermal Throttling  
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mecha-  
nism to keep the CPU from overheated.  
Hyper Threading Technology  
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium®4  
processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating sys-  
tem that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft® Win-  
dows® XP. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP, or Linux kernel  
version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does  
not support Hyper-Threading technology.  
Max CPUID Value Limit  
For Prescott CPU only, some OSes (ex. NT4.0) cannot handle the function  
with disable. This should be enabled in order to boot legacy OSes that  
cannot support CPUs with extended CPUID functions.  
No-Excute Memory Protection  
No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to the  
IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 processor with “No Execute (NX) Memory  
Protection” can prevent data pages from being used by malicious software  
to execute code. This option will be hidden if the current CPU does not  
support No-Excute Memory Protection.  
Enhance Halt State  
All processors support the Halt State (C1). The C1 state is supported  
through the native processor instructions HLT and MWAIT and requires no  
hardware support from the chipset. In the C1 power state, the processor  
maintains the context of the system caches.  
Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech.  
Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech. is Intel’s new power saving technology. Proces-  
sor can switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to enable  
power savings. If you select [Auto], you need to set the “Power Schemes”  
as “Portable/Laptop” to enable this function.
