Chapter 1. Getting Started  
Introduction  
Congratulations on choosing the Albatron Anniversary Special Edition PX845PEV-800  
mainboard! Albatron PX845PEV-800 is based on either the Intel® 82845PE Northbridge  
chipsets and 82801DB Southbridge chipset. It supports Intel® Pentium® 4 Socket 478  
Processors with a FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency of 800/ 533/ 400MHz.  
Albatron PX845PEV-800 provides 3 DIMM sockets using 184-pin DDR SDRAM with a total

100 BMIDE and PIO Modes, one FDC facilities that support 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and  
2.88M.  
Albatron PX845PEV-800 provides three FAN power headers; they are available for cooling  
fans. They are CPU FAN, Auxiliary FAN, and Chassis FAN, they are used for decrease the  
devices temperature of the system.  
Albatron PX845PEV-800 provides one standard PS/2 mouse connector, one PS/2 Keyboard  
connector, two Serial ports (RS-232), and one Parallel port (DB-25).  
Albatron PX845PEV-800 also comes with six USB 2.0 ports (two onboard, four by USB  
bracket) for USB devices, and a LAN Chip which supports a back panel LAN port (RJ-45).  
Albatron PX845PEV-800 contains a “Watch Dog Timer” feature, it is used to detect when the  
system is unable to handle over-clocking configurations during POST stage.

CPU Processor Installation  
This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors using a Socket 478.  
Before building your system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor  
installation procedures. http://www.intel.com  
CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:  
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket.  
Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.  
2.On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will have a  
cut-corner, on the rectangular shaped pattern of pin holes on the socket.  
Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto  
the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.  
Pin1 Receptor  
Dot  
3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.  
4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the  
clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan  
and insert it onto the CPUFAN adapter.  
Attention  
Overheating may damage the CPU and other sensitive components. Please check  
the installation completely before starting the system. Make sure the heatsink and  
the CPU fan are properly installed.

Warning  
This system has a BIOS configuration feature that issues a warning (during  
POST) when the CPU fan is not plugged in or is not functioning. In order  
to make use this feature. You must make sure that the CPU power cable is  
attached specifically to the “CPUFAN” header. The BIOS configuration  
option is described in the “Hardware Monitor” section of the BIOS Setup  
Utility Chapter.  
Frequency / Voltage Control  
This mainboard automatically detects and recognizes the CPU ratio. You can otherwise  
override these values using the BIOS Setup Utility.  
Configuring the CPU Host Frequency by using the BIOS  
Setup Utility  
To access the BIOS Setup Utility, reboot your system. During the reboot process you will be  
given an opportunity to press the “DEL” key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.  
From the BIOS Setup Utility access the “Advanced” section and then scroll down to the  
“Frequency / Voltage Control” field. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR:CPU  
Ratio” according to the formulas below.

Albatron Anniversary Special Edition PX845PEV-800  
Formulas  
CPU Speed = CPU Clock Ratio * CPU Host Frequency  
DDR Speed = DDR: CPU Ratio * CPU Host Frequency  
(The CPU Clock Ratio is usually locked by the CPU manufacturer which means it will not be  
displayed. You can only adjust the CPU Host Frequency to change the CPU speed. For more  
details, please refer to the Frequency / Voltage Control section in Chapter 2.)  
If you do not adjust the option, then the CPU Host Frequency will be equal of default CPU  
Host Frequency. Or you can adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR: CPU Ratio” in the  
BIOS Setup Utility for overclocking the CPU and DDR RAM, but we do not guarantee that  
damage will or will not occur.  
Overclocking example (to FSB 800): have an Intel® Pentium4 Host Frequency 1.7 GHz CPU  
(133MHz, 13 Ratio) and a DDR 400 RAM module plugged on Albatron PX845PEV-800  
mainboard. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” to 200 and the “DDR: CPU Ratio” to 2.00  
(default) in the BIOS Utility. Then the result: the CPU Speed will be 2.6 GHz, and DDR Speed  
will be DDR 400. (Suggestion: if you adjust your CPU Host Frequency over 166, disable the  
“Fixed AGP/PCI Output Freq” item.)  
Note: The AGP and PCI frequencies are both calculated from the Default CPU Host frequency  
according to the table below. To determine your frequencies, first locate the row that  
corresponds to the “Default CPU Host frequency”. Then, calculate the AGP and PCI  
frequencies according to the formulas in the adjacent cells.  
Default CPU Host frequency  
100 MHz  
PCI frequency  
AGP frequency  
CPU Host frequency ÷ 3  
CPU Host frequency ÷ 4  
CPU Host frequency ÷ 5  
CPU Host frequency * (2/3)  
CPU Host frequency * (2/4)  
CPU Host frequency * (2/5)  
133 MHz  
200 MHz  
E.g.: If your “Default CPU Host frequency” is 133, then the AGP frequency will be 66 MHz  
and the PCI frequency will be 33 MHz.  
Watch Dog Timer  
This mainboard comes with a special feature called “Watch Dog Timer” which is used to  
detect when the system is unable to boot using the manual over-clocking configurations. After  
you power on the system, BIOS will check the last system POST status. If it was successful,  
BIOS will enable the “Watch Dog Timer” feature and set the CPU frequency values to the user  
configured values stored in the BIOS. If unsuccessful the “Watch Dog Timer” will reboot the  
system.  
On most systems you would need to remove the cover of your system and re-jumper the clear  
CMOS switches on the mainboard when your system encounters over-clocking problems. With  
the “Watch Dog Timer”, overclocking settings will be automatically cleared and reset.  
Before Overclocking  
Please make sure your system components are capable of overclocking.  
If you are not familiar with the overclocking, we strongly recommend that you to  
set the clock to the default settings.
