Safety information  
Electrical safety  
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from  
the electrical outlet before relocating the system.  
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that  
the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal  
cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the  
existing system before you add a device.  
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard,  
ensure that all power cables are unplugged.  
• Seek professional assistance before using an adpater or extension  
cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.  
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your  
area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you  
are using, contact your local power company.  
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a  
qualified service technician or your retailer.

and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage,  
contact your dealer immediately.  
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from  
connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.  
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the  
product in any area where it may become wet.  
• Place the product on a stable surface.  
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a

1.3 Special features  
1.3.1 Product highlights  
Latest processor technology  
The motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium® 4 or Celeron processor via a  
478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium 4 processor with 512KB L2 cache on  
0.13 micron processor includes a 800*/533/400 MHz system bus, Intel® Hyper-  
Threading Technology and the FMB2 power design that allows up to 3.06+ GHz  
core frequencies for up to 6.4GB/s data transfer rates. (* Overclocking mode) See  
page 1-8.  
Integrated 10/100 LAN  
The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Fast Ethernet controller. It is  
enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power  
management for advanced operating systems. See page 1-16.  
Extreme Overclocking  
The motherboard offers robust overclocking options to maximize your system  
performance. Overclocking features include: the SFS (Stepless Frequency  
Selection) feature, an adjustable FSB/DDR ratio and the ASUS C.P.R. (CPU  
Parameter Recall).  
6 USB 2.0 ports  
The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0  
specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast  
480 Mbps on USB 2.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of  
devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation  
scanners and printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with  
USB 1.1. See page 1-19.  
6-channel audio  
The ADI AD1888 SoundMAX AC ‘97 audio CODEC is onboard to provide 6-  
channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound, over 90dB dynamic range, and  
stereo Mic PREAMP. See pages 1-16, 3-3.  
S/PDIF out  
The motherboard supports S/PDIF out function turns your computer into a high-  
end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful sound systems. See  
page 1-16, 3-3.

1.3.2 Unique ASUS features  
CrashFree BIOS 2  
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or  
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection  
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. Page 2-6.  
ASUS MyLogo™  
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add  
style to your system with customizable boot logos. To use the MyLogo feature,  
enable the Quick Boot item in the BIOS. See page 3-4.  
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)  
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the  
BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the  
system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system  
chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and  
BIOS automatically restores the CPU’s previous setting for each parameter. See  
page 1-14.  
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS  
With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before  
loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a  
floppy disk. See page 2-5.

Chapter 1: Product introduction  
1.4 Before you proceed  
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. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal  
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to  
avoid damaging them due to static electricity.  
3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.  
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic  
pad or in the bag that came with the component.  
5. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX  
power supply 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.  
Onboard LED  
The motherboad comes with a stand-by power LED. When lit, the green LED  
indicates that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, a reminder that  
you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or  
plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location  
of the onboard LED.
