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.

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.

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.

1 3

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.

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.

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

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.
