Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below. 1.2 Package contents ASUS motherboard ASUS motherboard support CD 80-conductor UltraATA IDE cable Ribbon cable for a 3.5-inch floppy drive I/O shield Bag of extra jumper caps User Guide Check your motherboard package for the following items. If any of the above items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction 1.3 Special features 1.3.1 Product highlights Latest processor technology The motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium® 4 or Celeron processor via a 478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium 4 processor with 512KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron processor includes a 800*/533/400 MHz system bus, Intel® HyperThreading Technology and the FMB2 power design that allows up to 3.06+ GHz core frequencies for up to 6.4GB/s data transfer rates. (* Overclocking mode) See page 1-8. Integrated 10/100 LAN The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Fast Ethernet controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems. See page 1-16. Extreme Overclocking The motherboard offers robust overclocking options to maximize your system performance. Overclocking features include: the SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) feature, an adjustable FSB/DDR ratio and the ASUS C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall). 6 USB 2.0 ports The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation scanners and printers, and fast storage units.

See page 1-16, 3-3. ASUS P4B533-X motherboard user guide 1-3 1.3.2 Unique ASUS features CrashFree BIOS 2 This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. Page 2-6. ASUS MyLogoTM This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos. To use the MyLogo feature, enable the Quick Boot item in the BIOS. See page 3-4. 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's previous setting for each parameter. See page 1-14. ASUS EZ Flash BIOS With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a floppy disk. See page 2-5. 1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction 1.4 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1. 2. 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. 3. 4. 5. Onboard LED The motherboad comes with a stand-by power LED. When lit, the green LED 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. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a specific corner of the CPU socket. Gold Arrow P4B533-X ® P4B533-X Socket 478 Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU! Notes on Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology 1. This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium 4 CPUs with Hyper-Threading Technology. The motherboard automatically detects an installed Intel Pentium 4 CPU with Hyper-Threading Technology support. To verify the Hyper-Threading feature, go to the Windows OS System Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Processors. The list should display two existing processors. Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows® XPTM and later versions only. It is recommended that you install Windows® XPTM Service Pack 1. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, visit www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1-8 Chapter 1: Product introduction 1.6.2 Installing the CPU Follow these steps to install a CPU. 1. Locate the 478-pin ZIF socket on the motherboard. 2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90°100° angle. Socket Lever Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to 90°-100° angle, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely. 90 - 100 3. Position the CPU above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. 4. 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 prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU! Gold Mark 5. When the CPU is in place, push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked. 6. Install a CPU heatsink and fan following the instructions that came with the heatsink package. 7. Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU_FAN1 connector on the motherboard. ASUS P4B533-X motherboard user guide 1-9 1.7 System memory 1.7.1 DIMM sockets location The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets.
