Chapter 2 Installation  
P4VT8 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 7.5-in, 30.5 cm x 19.1 cm) motherboard.  
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to  
ensure that the motherboard fits into it.  
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the  
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and  
damages to motherboard components.  
2.1 Screw Holes  
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the  
chassis.  
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the  
motherboard.  
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions  
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components  
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 antistatic pad or  
in the bag that comes with the component.  
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is  
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.  
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,  
peripherals, and/or components.

2.3 CPU Installation  
Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o angle.  
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner  
matches the base of the socket lever.  
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.  
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the  
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.  
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push  
down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab  
to indicate that it is locked.  
Step 1  
Step 2, 3  
Step 4  
2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink  
Intel® Pentium®4 CPU requires larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease  
between the CPU and the heatsink is also needed to improve heat dissipation.  
Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good  
contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN  
connector (CPU_FAN1, see page 7, No. 1). For proper installation, please  
kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

2.6 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)  
There are 5 PCI slots and 1 AGP slot on P4VT8 motherboard.  
PCI slots: 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 ASRock 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 P4VT8  
motherboard! 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.  
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

This motherboard adopts VIA VT8237 southbridge chipset that supports Serial ATA  
(SATA) hard disks. You may install SATA hard disks on this motherboard for internal  
storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA hard disks.  
Installing SATA Hard Disks  
STEP1: Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.  
STEP2: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s  
primary SATA connector (SATA1).  
STEP3: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the master SATA  
hard disk.  
STEP4: Connect one end of the second SATA data cable to the motherboard’s  
secondary SATA connector (SATA2).  
STEP5: Connect the other end of SATA data cable to the secondary SATA  
hard disk.  
Making an SATA HDD driver diskette...  
If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your system while  
you only have SATA HDDs on your system, you will need to make an SATA  
HDD driver diskette before you start the OS installation.  
How to make an SATA HDD driver diskette?  
STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.  
(Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!)  
STEP 2: During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and then  
a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CD-ROM as the  
boot device.  
STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate Serial  
ATA driver diskette [Y/N]?”, press <Y>.  
STEP 4: Then you will see these messages:  
Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive  
WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will  
lose ALL data in it!  
Start to format and copy files [Y/N]?  
Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>.  
STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA HDD drivers.  
Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000  
/ Windows XP on your system directly without setting the RAID configuration on your  
system, or you may start to use VIA Tech RAID BIOS Utility to set RAID 0 / RAID 1  
configuration before you install the OS.

2.9.1 Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP  
For the installation of Windows 2000 or Windows XP, please insert  
Windows 2000 or Windows XP CD into the optical drive. Then remove the  
floppy diskette, and reboot the system. At the very beginning, you will see  
the message at the bottom of the screen, “Press F6 if you need to install a  
third party SCSI or Raid driver....” At this moment, please press <F6> key  
and follow the instructions of Windows 2000 or Windows XP for the proper  
installation.  
2.9.2 RAID 0 / RAID 1 Configurations  
This motherboard adopts VIA VT8237 southbridge chipset that integrates  
RAID controller supporting RAID 0 and RAID 1 with two independent Serial ATA  
(SATA) channels. This section will introduce RAID 0, RAID 1, and the guide to  
configure RAID 0 and RAID 1.  
For optimal performance, please install identical drives of the same model and  
capacity when creating a RAID set.  
RAID 0  
RAID 0 is called data striping that optimizes two identical hard disk drives to  
read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. It will improve data access  
and storage since it will double the data transfer rate of a single disk alone  
while the two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a  
sustained data transfer rate.  
RAID 1  
RAID 1 is called data mirroring that copies and maintains an identical image of  
data from one drive to a second drive. It provides data protection and in-  
creases fault tolerance to the entire system since the disk array management  
software will direct all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a  
complete copy of the data in the other drive if one drive fails.  
Pre-installation Precautions  
1. Please use two new drives if you are creating a RAID 0 (striping) array for  
performance.  
2. You may use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive if you are  
creating a RAID 1 (mirroring) array for protection (the new drive must be of  
the same size or larger than the existing drive). If you use two drives of  
different sizes, the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size. For  
example, if one hard disk has an 80GB storage capacity and the other hard disk  
has 60GB, the maximum storage capacity for the RAID 1 set is 60GB.  
3. Please verify the status of your hard disks.
