Introducing the Mainboard

Congratulations on purchasing the P4VXAD mainboard. The P4VXAD main-

board is an ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and

measures 305 mm x 244 mm. The mainboard features a Socket 478 that ac-

commodates Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting front side bus (FSB)

speeds of 400/533 MHz.

The P4VXAD incorporates the VIA VT8753A (P4X266A) Northbridge and

VT8233A (or VT8233) Southbridge chipsets which supports the AC 97 audio

codec, which combines support for DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM up to 3

GB.

Note: SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on

whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM

(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR

SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin

DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.

Compare the mainboard’s package contents with the following checklist:

Standard Items

•One mainboard

•One diskette drive ribbon cable

•One IDE drive ribbon cable

•One retention module

•Software support CD

•This user’s manual

Processor The P4VXAD mainboard includes a mPGA Socket 478 that

has the following features:

•Supports up to a 400/533 MHz front side bus (FSB)

•Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors

Chipset The chipset on P4VXAD includes the VT8753A Northbridge and

VT8233A Southbridge which are based on an innovative and

scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance. A

few of the chipset’s advanced features are:

•An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that

provides the bandwidth and performance necessary for

even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics

•Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics

and video performance

•An ATA 133 interface on the VT8233A chipset, which

helps boost system performance by providing a high-

speed connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, deliver-

ing maximum sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec

Additional features include support for four USB ports, an AC

97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and

ACPI/OnNow power management.

Note: This mainboard incorporates either VT8233A or

VT8233 Southbridge chipset.

Memory The mainboard accommodates three 184 pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM

sockets with a total capacity of 3 GB (registered), 1.5 GB (un-

buffered).

VGA The P4VXAD includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times

the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technol-

ogy provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-

system and memory so that the graphics do not have to com-

pete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.

AC’ 97 Audio

Codec The AC’97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC’ 97 2.2 speci-

fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)

and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit

stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sam-

pling rates. Further features include support for four analog

line-level stereo inputs.

USB USB 1.1

The VT8233A (which support four USB ports) or VT8233

(which support six USB ports) Southbridge chipset features the

USB 1.1 specification.

However, if the mainboard comes with VIA VT6202, then the

mainboard supports the USB 2.0 specification.

USB 2.0 (optional)

The VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant with

Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.

The USB 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to 480Mb/sec for

high-speed devices and specifies a microframe that will be

1/8th of a 1msec frame. This allows the USB 2.0 devices to

have small buffers even at high data rates.

The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-

port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.

The chipset has the following advanced USB features:

•Compliant with Enhanced Host Controller Interface

(EHCI) Specification Revision 0.95 and Universal Host

Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification Revision 1.1

•PCI multi-function device consists of two UHCI Host Control-

lers for full/low-speed signaling and one EHCI Host

Controller core for high-speed signaling

•Supports PCI-Bus Power Management Interface Specifi-

cation release 1.1

•Legacy support for all downstream facing ports

Expansion

Options The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

•Five 32-bit PCI slots

•One 4xAGP slot

•A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot (AC97 inter-

face only)

•Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and

a floppy disk drive interface

•IDE RAID 1, 0 supported by Promise PDC20265R con-

troller (optional)

The P4VXAD are capable of Ultra DMA bus mastering with

transfer rates of 33/66/100/133 MB/sec.

Note: If the mainboard incorporates the VT8233A

Southbridge chipset, the Ultra DMA bus master-

ing can support up to 133 MB/sec transfer rate.

For VT8233 Southbridge chipset, the transfer rate

can support up to 100MB/sec only.

Promise 20265

(optional) •Supports Ultra ATA100 drives and backward compatible

with Ultra ATA66/33 & EIDE drives (identical drives rec-

ommended)

•Supports IDE RAID 1(mirroring) or 0 (striping)

•Supports UDMA 5/4/3/2/1/0, DMA 2/1/0, PIO 4/3/2/1/0

modes

•Two independent IDE channels support up to four

UDMA/100/66/33 or EIDE drives

Integrated I/O The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:

•Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

•Two serial port

•One parallel port

•One MIDI/game port

•Four USB ports (two backpanel ports, onboard USB

headers providing two extra ports)

•Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out

BIOS

Firmware This mainboard uses Award BIOS that enables users to con-

figure many system features including the following:

•Power management

•CPU and memory timing

•Modem wake up alarms

The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different

processor clock speeds.

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The mainboard com-

plies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Some features on the

mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indi-

cators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all

the features required. The mainboard can support one floppy diskette drive

and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and

space for all the drives that you intend to install.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that

the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge

of the mainboard.

This mainboard has an ATX form factor of 305 x 244 mm. Choose a case that

accommodates this form factor.
