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.

cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s  
data transfer rate. See page 2-23.  
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.
