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. 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 voltage available in your
area.
• If the power supply is broken, contact a qualified service technician or your
retailer.
Operational safety
• Before installing the motherboard and adding new devices, carefully read
all the manuals that came with the package.
• Before use ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables
are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact the 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.
• Mount the motherboard inside a standard PC enclosure.
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified
service technician or the dealer.

highest standards. This ASUS motherboard represents the latest advances
to supply users the finest componentry available today...
Latest 533MHz P4 Processor Technology: Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478
Northwood Processor. The Pentium 4 processor utilizes the advanced
0.18 micron processor core in FC-PGA2 package for a 2.0GHz frequency,
while the Northwood processor uses the 0.13 micron processor core with
512KB L2 cache for up to a speedy 2.2+ GHz frequency and a 533 MHz
FSB. The P4 optimizes audio, video, and Internet applications.
North Bridge Chipset: the SiS® 645DX supports AGP 4X/2X mode,
133/100MHz Front Side Bus, and the fastest 333 MHz memory bus.
South Bridge Chipset: the SiS® 962 / 962/L integrated peripheral controller
supports UltraDMA133/100/66/33 for burst mode data transfer rates up
to 133MB/sec, and USB controller with two root hubs for six USB ports.

Temperature, Fan and Voltage Monitoring: CPU temperature is monitored
by the ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode to prevent
overheating and damage. All system fans are monitored for RPM and
failure. System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable voltage to
critical motherboard components.
Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management (OSPM).
Onboard LAN (Optional): The motherboard incorporates the RTL8201 PHY
chip to support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networking.
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI
master busses to the memory and processor.
Dual Function Power Button: Push the power button for less than 4 seconds
when the system is operating places the system into sleep or soft-off
modes, depending on the BIOS or OS setting. If the power button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters soft-off mode.

Hardware information
ASUS P4S533-E motherboard
2.1 Motherboard installation
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis
to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. The P4S533-E uses the ATX
form factor that measures 21.9 cm (8.6 in.) x 30.5 cm (12.0 in.), a standard
fit for most chassis.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
2.1.1 Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the
chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the
rear part of the chassis. Refer to the image below.
2.1.2 Screw holes
Place six (6) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so may damage the
motherboard.
Place this side towards
the rear of the chassis

2.3 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 and do not to touch 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

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount 478-pin Zero Insertion
®
Force (ZIF) socket. This socket is specifically designed for the Intel
Pentium 4 478/Northwood Processor.
®
The Intel Pentium 4 Processor in the 478-pin package uses the Flip-Chip
®
Pin Grid Array 2 (FC-PGA2) package technology, and includes the Intel
NetBurst™ micro-architecture. The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture
features the hyper-pipelined technology, rapid execution engine, 400MHz
system bus, and execution trace cache. Together, these attributes improve
system performance by allowing higher processor frequencies, faster
execution of integer instructions, and a data transfer rate of 3.2GB/s.
Gold Mark
Note in the illustration that the CPU has a gold triangular mark on one
corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a
specific corner of the CPU socket.
Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and
severely damage the CPU!
