Hardware Setup
This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to
setup the jumpers on the mainboard. It also provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral devices,
such as the mouse, keyboard, etc. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and
follow the installation procedures.
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel®Pentium®4 processors in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU
socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has
a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink
and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

400MHz OK N/A N/A
533MHz OK OK N/A
800MHz N/A OK OK
If CPU Clock = 200MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 12
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 200MHz x 12
= 2.4 GHz
