Chapter 2 Installation  
P4i65PE is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.2-in, 30.5 cm x 20.8 cm) motherboard.  
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-  
sure that the motherboard fits into it.  
Pre-installation Precautions  
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com-  
ponents or change any motherboard settings.  
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any  
component.  
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,  
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also  
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded  
object before you handle components.  
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.  
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-  
static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.  
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is  
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.  
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,  
peripherals, and/or components.

2.1 CPU Installation  
Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle.  
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner  
matches the base of the socket lever.  
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.  
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the  
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.  
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down  
the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to  
indicate that it is locked.

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink  
This motherboard adopts 478-pin CPU socket to support Intel® Pentium®4  
CPU. It requires larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also  
need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to  
improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are  
securely fastened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the  
CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see page 8, No. 2). For  
proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the  
CPU fan and the heatsink.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)  
P4i65PE motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and  
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you  
always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR  
DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical  
DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.8 No. 5) or  
identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots; see p.8  
No. 6), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard  
also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please  
install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel  
Memory Configuration Table below.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility  
and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the  
same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots  
(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4).  
2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed  
in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate  
the Dual Channel Memory Technology.  
3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual  
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1  
and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory  
Technology.

Installing a DIMM  
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or  
removing DIMMs or the system components.  
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.  
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break  
on the slot.  
notch  
break  
notch  
break  
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent  
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the  
slot at incorrect orientation.  
Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully  
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)  
There are 5 PCI slots and 1 AGP slot on P4i65PE motherboard.  
PCI slots: The PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit  
PCI interface.  
AGP slot: The AGP slot is used to install a graphics card. The AGP slot has a  
special locking mechanism which can securely fasten the graphics  
card inserted.  
Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of P4i65PE-M  
mtherboard! It may cause permanent damage!  
Installing an expansion card  
Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power  
supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the  
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware  
settings for the card before you start the installation.  
Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a  
chassis).  
Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws  
for later use.  
Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is  
completely seated on the slot.  
Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.  
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

2.5 Jumpers Setup  
The illustration shows how jumpers are  
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on  
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap  
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The  
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1  
and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is  
placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS  
(CLRCMOS0, 2-pin jumper)  
2-pin jumper  
(see p.8 No. 15)  
Note: CLRCMOS0 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes  
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system  
setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,  
please turn off the computer andunplug the power cord, then use a jumper  
cap to short the pins on CLRCMOS0 for 3 seconds. Please remember to  
remove the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS  
when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and  
then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.

This motherboard adopts Intel ICH5 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA  
(SATA) hard disks. You may install SATA hard disks on this motherboard for  
internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA hard disks.  
STEP1: Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.  
STEP2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.  
STEP3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s primary  
SATA connector (SATA1).  
STEP4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the primary SATA hard  
disk. If you just want to install only one SATA HDD, the installation  
process is complete at this step. If you want to install two SATA HDDs,  
please continue to do the following steps.  
STEP5: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.  
STEP6: Connect one end of the second SATA data cable to the motherboard’s  
secondary SATA connector (SATA2).  
STEP7: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the secondary SATA hard  
disk.  
Before you install OS into the SATA hard disk, you need to check and  
ensure the configuration of the OnBoard IDE Operate Mode option in  
BIOS setup is correct according to the condition of your system. For  
the configuration details, please refer to the instruction on page 26.

Chapter 3 BIOS SETUP UTILITY  
3.1 Introduction  
This section explains how to use the BIOS SETUP UTILITY to configure your system.  
The BIOS FWH chip on the motherboard stores the BIOS SETUP UTILITY. You may  
run the BIOS SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press <F2>  
during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY, otherwise,  
POST will continue with its test routines.  
If you wish to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by  
pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system  
chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.

CPU Host Frequency  
While entering setup, BIOS auto detects the present CPU host frequency of  
this motherboard. The actual CPU host frequency will show in the following  
item.  
Spread Spectrum  
This item should always be [Auto] for better system stability.  
Ratio Status  
This is a read-only item, which displays whether the ratio status of this  
motherboard is “Locked” or “Unlocked”. If it shows “Unlocked”, you will find  
an item Ratio CMOS Setting appears to allow you changing the ratio value  
2 2  
of this motherboard. If it shows “Locked”, then the item Ratio CMOS Set-  
ting will be hidden. If you use the ratio value to time the CPU frequency, it will  
be equal to the core speed of the installed processor.  
Ratio Actual Value  
This is a read-only item, which displays the ratio actual value of this  
motherboard.  
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 [Auto] 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.

OnBoard IDE Operate Mode  
Please select [Compatible Mode] when you install legacy OS (Windows  
ME / 98SE) into SATA device. If you install legacy OS into IDE HDD while  
SATA devices are used, you also need to select [Compatible Mode].  
If native OS (Windows 2000 / XP) is installed into SATA device, please  
select [Enhanced Mode]. You also need to select [Enhanced Mode]  
while native OS is installed into IDE HDD and SATA devices are used.  
If you do not install any SATA device, please also select [Enhanced Mode]  
no matter you use legacy OS or native OS for the system.  
Please note that the following options will be varied depending on the  
“OnBoard IDE Operate Mode” ([Compatible Mode] or [Enhanced  
Mode]) that you selected.  
When [Enhanced Mode] is selected:  
OnBoard IDE Controller  
You may enable either the primary IDE channel or the secondary IDE channel.  
Or you may enable both the primary and the secondary IDE channels by  
selecting [Both]. Set to [Disabled] will disable the both. Configuration options:  
[Disabled], [Primary], [Secondary], [Both].  
When [Compatible Mode] is selected  
Combined Mode Option  
It allows you to select between [Pri IDE + SATA] and [SATA + Sec IDE]. If  
it is set to [Pri IDE + SATA], then the secondary IDE will not work. Likewise,  
if it is set to [SATA + Sec IDE], then the primary IDE will not work.  
Because Intel® ICH5 south bridge only supports four IDE devices  
under legacy OS (Windows ME / 98SE), you have to choose either  
[Pri IDE + SATA] or [SATA + Sec IDE] when the installed SATA device  
is used with legacy OS.

IDE Device Configuration  
You may set the IDE configuration for the device that you specify. We will  
use the “Primary IDE Master” as the example in the following instruction,  
which can be applied to the configurations of “Primary IDE Slave”, “Sec-
