ASUS P4R800-V Deluxe motherboard user guide
1-3
RAID 0, 1, 0+1 support
The SiS 180 RAID controller supports two Serial ATA150 and UltraDMA133
drives for RAID 0,1, 0+1 configuration. This provides a high-performance
RAID solution for hard disk performance and data back-up protection without
the cost of additional RAID cards. See page 2-23 and 5-17.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12
Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-27.
IEEE 1394 support
The onboard VIA6307 controller supports two IEEE 1394 ports that
provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of
peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394 standards. The IEEE
1394 allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost,
high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between
computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as
camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-25.
1.3.2 ASUS unique features
Ai BIOS
The Ai Bios is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions:
CrachFree BIOS2, Q-Fan and Post Reporter.
CrashFree BIOS2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support
CD, or from a bootable floppy disk, when the BIOS codes and data are
corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM
chip. See page 4-4.
Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to
the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
See page 4-28.
1-4
Chapter 1: Product introduction
POST Reporter™
The motherboard offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the
Power-On Self-Tests (POST) informing you of the system boot status and
causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software
lets you to customize the voice messages in different languages.
See page 3-2.
Wi-Fi slot
The ASUS Wi-Fi slot is based on the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard
and is specifically designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card for setting-
up a wireless LAN environment. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card comes
with an exclusive Software Access Point (AP) feature to save the extra
cost of a stand-alone AP. This proprietary slot also supports the IEEE
802.11g wireless LAN standard for future upgrades. See page 2-17.
Multi-language BIOS
The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice
from the available options. The localized BIOS menus allow you to
configure easier and faster. Supported languages include English,
German, and Japanese. See page 4-11.
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 default
setting for each parameter.
MyLogo2
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and
add style to your system with customizable boot logos. The ASUS
MyLogo2 is automatically installed when you install the ASUS Update
utility from Utilities menu in the support CD. See page 5-13.

ASUS P4R800-V Deluxe motherboard
2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
•
•
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
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.
•
•
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•
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 P4R800-V Deluxe motherboard comes with a standby power LED.
When lit, the green LED (SB_PWR) 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.
