CAUTION!

1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly

before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to

spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install

the PC system.

2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of P4S61 motherboard!

It may cause permanent damage!

3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

XP SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft®Windows®

98/ME. Please refer to Microsoft®official document at

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

4. Although P4S61 offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform

over clocking. When the CPU frequency of P4S61 is set to perform over

clocking, other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock and Memory clock

will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than the

recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the

system or damage the CPU and the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation

P4S61 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 8.4-in, 24.4 cm x 21.3 cm) motherboard.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-

sure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the

chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the

motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

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. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also

remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded

object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic

pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power

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.

2.3 CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90oangle.

Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner

matches the base of the socket lever.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the

CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab

to indicate that it is locked.

Step 1 Step 2, 3 Step 4

2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

Intel®Pentium®4 CPU requires larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink is also needed to improve heat dissipation.

Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good

contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN

connector (CPU_FAN1, see page 7, No. 5). For proper installation, please

kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and heatsink vendors.
