Installation  
This motherboard adopts Intel® ICH7 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA  
(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) 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.  
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 SATAII  
connector.  
STEP4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard  
disk.  
2.12 Driver Installation Guide  
To install the drivers to your system, please insert the support CD to your optical  
drive first. Then, the drivers compatible to your system can be auto-detected and  
listed on the support CD driver page. Please follow the order from up to bottom  
side to install those required drivers. Therefore, the drivers you install can work  
properly.  
2.13 Untied Overclocking Technology  
This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during  
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE bus. You may set  
“CPU Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you the  
actual CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied  
during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can  
operate under a more stable overclocking environment.  
Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk before  
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.

This is a read-only item, which displays the ratio actual value of this  
motherboard.  
Ratio CMOS Setting  
If the ratio status is unlocked, you will find this item appear to allow you  
changing the ratio value of this motherboard.  
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.  
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.  
Intel (R) Virtualization tech.  
When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture)  
can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool  
Technology. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does not support  
Intel (R) Virtualization Technology.  
CPU Thermal Throttling  
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mecha-  
nism to keep the CPU from overheated.  
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.  
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.

Combined Option  
It allows you to select between [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA  
1, SATA 3, IDE 1], and [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]. If it is set to [SATA 1, SATA

if it is set to [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4], then SATAII_1 (PORT0), SATAII_3  
(PORT2) will not work.  
Because Intel® ICH7 south bridge only supports four IDE devices  
under legacy OS (Windows NT), you have to choose [SATA 1, SATA 2,  
SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], or [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]  
when the installed device is used with legacy OS.
