Hardware Installation  
This section will assist you quickly in installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap  
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.  
CPU Processor Installation  
This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors using a Socket 478. Before building your  
system, we suggest you to visit the Intel website and review the processor installation procedures.  
CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:  
Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket. Then lift the  
lever to a 90-degree angle.  
On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will be near the end of the  
lever on the socket. Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the  
CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.  
Dot  
Pin1 Receptor  
Lower the lever  
back into position. This will lock down the CPU.  
until it snaps  
Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the clasps on the  
fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it onto the  
JCFAN1 header.  
Attention: Before starting the system  
Please check the installation completely before starting the system.  
Verify that the heatsink is properly installed and make sure the CPU  
fan is working. Overheating can damage the CPU and other  
sensitive components.  
6
 
FAN Headers: JCFAN1JSFAN1  
Two power headers are available for cooling fans, which play an important role in maintaining the  
ambient temperature in your system.  
Attention  
We strongly recommend that you use a CPU fan sink with your  
CPU. You can attach the CPU fan to the JCFAN1 Header.  
Memory  
Installation  
The mainboard contains 4 memory modules which using 184-pin DDR SDRAM with a total memory  
capacity of up to 4 GB. You can install unbuffered & non-ECC DDR memories. When you installed  
a 100MHz clock speeds CPU, it can support DDR266. When you installed a 133MHz clock speeds  
CPU, it can support DDR266/333. And the PX865PEC PRO(2.0) also supports DDR266/320/400  
when you installed a 200MHz clock speeds CPU.  
The mainboard provides the Dual-Channel function for the memory modules. The DDRA1 and  
DDRA2 share one channel, while DDRB1 and DDRB2 share the other channel. If you enable these  
two dual channel functions, it can save time on transferring the data.  
7
 
To Enable Dual-Channel DDR, the following conditions must be met:  
1.You must insert either DDRA1 & DDRA2 together or DDRB1 & DDRB2 together or all four  
memory modules together.  
2.You must insert the same memory configurations between DDRA1 & DDRA2, and DDRB1 &  
DDRB2.

SPK (Speaker Connector)  
A front panel speaker can be connected to this header. When you reboot the computer, the speaker  
will sound a short “beep”. If there is something wrong during the Power On Self-Test, the speaker  
otherwise will sound “irregular beep” to warn you.  
HLED (Hard Drive LED Header)  
This header can be connected to an HLED on the front panel of a computer case. The HLED will  
flicker during the hard drive disk (HDD) activity. The HDD activity only applies to those IDE  
devices directly connected to the mainboard.  
RST (Reset Switch Header)  
This header can be connected to a momentary SPST switch. The switch is normally left open. When  
the switch closed, it will cause the mainboard to reset and run the POST (Power On Self Test).  
SLP (Sleep Buttom)  
Connecting the SLP connector to this header can make the computer system automatically entering  
into the power saving mode when it is unused.  
PWRLED (Power LED )  
This mainboard provides a 3-pin power PWRLED header on the front panel of a computer case;  
connect the 3-pin power LED cable to the header. The PWRLED will illuminate while the computer  
is powered on.  
ON/OFF (Power-on Buttom)  
This header can be connected to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the Power Button  
pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off (the time required is  
due to internal debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass before the  
power supply will recognize another on/off signal.  
IR (IrDA Connector)  
Connecting the IrDA connector to this header, then you can transfer the data through this function.  
12  
Connectors  
Floppy Drive Disk Connector: FDD1  
The mainboard provides a standard floppy drive connector (FDC) that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M,  
1.44M and 2.88M floppy disks. This connector supports the floppy drive ribbon cables provided in  
the packaging.  
Hard Drive Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2SATA1/ SATA2  
The mainboard has a 32-bit enhanced IDE Controller that supports Ultra ATA 33, Ultra ATA 66,  
Ultra ATA 100 and Ultra ATA 133. It has two IDE slots, IDE1 and IDE2 for connecting the hard  
drive disks. You can expand to connect maximal 4 IDE supported devices, such as hard drive disk,  
CD-ROM, 120MB floppy disk, and so on. The mainboard also has two Serial ATA connectors that  
support SATA 150 Mbps transfer rate.  
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)  
You can connect up to two hard drive disks to IDE1. If you attach two HDDs, you must use a ribbon  
cable with three connectors. You must also configure one drive as the master and one drive as the  
slave.  
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)  
The IDE2 connector can also support a Master and a Slave HDD. The configuration is similar to  
IDE1.  
SATA1/ SATA2  
The SATA connectors support a transfer rate to 150 MB/s. One SATA connector only can connect  
one serial ATA hard drive disk of each time.  
13  
 
Headers & Jumpers  
Front USB Headers: JUSB2/ JUSB3  
This mainboard provides 4 USB ports and 2 USB headers on the mainboard which allowing you to  
use 4 additional USB ports. An optional USB bracket may be included with this product. The bracket  
is typical secured to the back side of your computer case and has standard USB ports that you can  
connect to external USB devices. The bracket will also have cables that you can extend to the JUSB2  
or JUSB3 headers.  
USB Power  
Source Headers:  
If you are using a USB 2.0 device with Windows® 2000/XP, you will need to install  
the USB 2.0 driver from the Microsoft® website. If you are using Service pack 1 (or  
later) for Windows® XP, and using Service pack4 (or later) for Windows® 2000,  
you will not have to install the driver.  
JKB_USBV1/2/3_4  
The USB power souce headers are included the JKB_USBV1, JKB_USBV2, and JKB_USBV3_4.  
These headers will allow you to set your USB power source at +5V. You will need to set to +5V  
when using a USB hard drive dsk.  
14  
 
Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1  
The “Clear CMOS” function is used when you cannot boot your system due to some CMOS  
problems, such as a password is forgotten. This jumper allows you to reset the CMOS configurations,  
and then reconfigure it.  
15  
Audio Connectors  
This mainboard provides three connectors as part of its audio Subsystem.  
CD-ROM Audio-In Header: JCDIN1  
This header is used to connect to a CD-ROM / DVD audio cable.  
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Headers:SPDIF_IN1/OUT1  
S/PDIF is a recent audio transfer file format, which provides high quality audio using optical fiber  
and digital signals. This mainboard is capable of delivering audio output and receiving audio input  
through the SPDIF header. One way you would use this header is by using an SPDIF bracket  
attached to your computer. This bracket will have a cable that you can attach to the SPDIF header.  
This bracket will also have an RCA connector, similar to that used with most consumer audio  
products. Using the RCA connector, the data can then be output to and input from an S/PDIF device.  
The devices that are receiving and sending information from this header must be S/PDIF compliant  
for optimal effect. Note that the SPDIF output is provided by this mainboard, but SPDIF input is  
optional in the packaging.  
Front Panel Audio Header: JAUDIO2  
If your computer case has the embedded audio equipment design or you are using an audio bracket  
(optional). You can connect these components to this JAUDIO2 header. First, remove the jumper  
caps covering the header pins. Connect pin 1 and 3 to the case microphone. Connect pin 9 and 5 to  
the earphone. If you do not intend to use the front audio panel, do not remove the jumper caps;  
otherwise, the front panel audio & the back panel audio will disconnect simultaneously.  
Attention  
If the jumper caps are in place, jumper cap 1 is on  
pin 5 & pin 6, and jumper cap2 is on pin 9 & pin 10.  
16  
 
Slots  
This mainboard provides one AGP slots and five PCI slots. These slots are designed for expansion  
cards used, in order to complement and enhance the functionality of the mainboard and your system.
