Introduction of VIA P4M900 Chipset Motherboards

1-1 Feature of motherboard

The VIA P4M900 chipset motherboard series are designed for the innovative 65nm and 90nm

Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D Processor 8 and 9 Series, Intel® Pentium® D Processor, and

Intel® Core 2 Duo® (Code Name: Conroe) Processor with Intel® Hyper-Threading

Technology. With the cost-effective VIA P4M900 chipset that delivers a high performance and

professional desktop platform solution.

The VIA P4M900 chipset motherboard series implement VIA P4M900 chipset which supports

400MHz/ 533MHz /800MHz/1066MHz system bus of data transfer rate and Hyper Threading

technology. The VIA P4M900 chipset motherboard series provide 333MHz/266MHz/200MHz

memory clock frequency for DDR2 667/533/400 system RAM Modules. The motherboard

series are embedded with VIA VT8237R PLUS South Bridge offers ULTRA ATA 133 and

Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1, JBOD functions to provide speedier HDD throughout that

boosts overall system performance. The VIA P4M900 Chipset motherboard series implement

the VIA VT6103L LAN PHY chip Support Fast Ethernet LAN function provide 10/100 Mb/s

data transfer rate.

The motherboard series also have an integrated 6-channel AC’97 CODEC on board which is

fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro®that gives you the best sound quality and

compatibility.

.Featuring the VIA Chrome9™ HC IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) core, the VIA

P4M900 delivers DirectX® 9 graphics support with hardware pixel shaders to meet the

requirements of the upcoming Windows® Vista™ operating system, and rising high

definition video requirements. The core of the VIA P4M900 North Bridge lies the VIA

Chrome9™ HC IGP, delivering a rich visual experience through the implementation of

innovative features such a 128 bit 2D/3D engine with dual pixel pipeline. The P4M900 also

features extensive display support for all HDTV output formats including 1920x1080p and

additional advanced graphics capabilities include the Chromotion Video Display Engine,

comprehensive de-interlace support, and DuoView™ for enhanced productivity and

presentation capabilities.

The VIA P4M900 chipset motherboard series provide one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of

4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 3.5 times of bandwidth

more than AGP8X and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 8Gbyte/sec at full speed to

guarantee the fully operational GPU graphics power; one PCI Express x1 I/O slot offers

512Mbyte/sec concurrently which is 3.5 times bandwidth more than PCI at 133Mbye/sec.Two

32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O peripherals.

With USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8x USB2.0 function ports

delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, the motherboards meet future USB

demand also have built-in hardware monitor function to monitor and protect your computer.

The motherboards provide high performance & meet future specification demand of the next

generation operation system. It is a wise choice for your non-stop business computing.

Some special features---CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift ) in this motherboard are

designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more flexible ways. But please be caution

that the over-clocking maybe cause the fails in system reliabilities. This motherboard provides the

guaranteed performance and meets the demands of the next generation computing. But if you insist to

gain more system performance with variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be

careful and make sure to read the detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please

get them in the coming section.

1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology---(The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)

To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high workload,

the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle mode from 87.5% to

12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40℃to 90℃). When the

system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU operating bandwidth

will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool down the processor. When at throttling mode the

beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it is in working.

CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System(Not Support 3-pin CPU Fan) )

It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics. CPU

Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for now-a-day’s

high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the fan speed when CPU

operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition, the system will low down

the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can provide the much longer life cycle

for both CPU and the system fans for game use and business requirements.

CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)

The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 7 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding

computing performance.

Hardware Installation

2-1 Install LGA775 Supported Intel CPU

This motherboard provides a 775-pin surface mount, LGA775 Land Grid Array socket, referred to as

the LGA775 socket supports Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 775 Pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Land

Grid Array (FC-LGA4) package technology.

The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent

overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your

system.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink and CPU

cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the processor and motherboard

overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA775 socket and

open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle.

Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner should point toward

the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only

fit in the orientation as shown.

Connectors, Headers & Jumpers Setting

3-1 Connectors

(1) Power Connector (24-pin block) : ATXPWR1

ATX Power Supply connector.

This is a new defined 24-pins

connector that usually comes with

ATX case. The ATX Power Supply

allows to use soft power on

momentary switch that connect from

the front panel switch to 2-pins

Power On jumper pole on the

motherboard. When the power

switch on the back of the ATX

power supply turned on, the full

power will not come into the system

board until the front panel switch is

momentarily pressed. Press this

switch again will turn off the power to the system board.

** We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power supply

unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin and 4-pin

power plugs.

** If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the 20-pin

power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit has a minimum

power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the

power is inadequate.

(2) ATX 12V Power Connector (8-pin block) : ATX12V1

This is a new defined 8-pins connector that usually comes

with ATX Power Supply. The ATX Power Supply which fully

supports AM2 processor must including this connector for

support extra 12V voltage to maintain system power

consumption. Without this connector might cause system unstable because the power

supply can not provide sufficient current for system.

(3) PS/2 Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard Connector: KB1

The connectors for PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 Mouse.

(4) USB Port connector: CN3

The connectors are 4-pin connector that connects USB devices to the system board.

(5) LAN Port connector: UL1

This connector is standard RJ45 connector for Network

The USB/LAN1 support 10M/100Mb s data transfer rate
