ASUS P4V8X-X motherboard
1-5
ATX 12V connector. This power connector connects the 4-pin 12V plug from
the ATX 12V power supply.
CPU socket. A 478-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for
the Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 or Celeron
®
processors, with 800*/533/400 MHz system
bus that allows 6.4GB/s, 4.3GB/s, and 3.2GB/s data transfer rates,
respectively. (* Overclocking mode)
North bridge controller. The VIA
®
P4X533 provides the processor interface
with 800*/533/400 MHz frequency, system memory interface at 400/
333/266MHz operation, and 1.5V/0.8V AGP interface that supports AGP 3.0
specification including 8X Fast Write protocol. (* Overclocking mode)
DDR DIMM sockets. These three 184-pin DIMM sockets support up to 3GB
system memory using unbuffered non-ECC PC3200/2700/2100 DDR DIMMs.
ATX power connector. This 20-pin connector connects to an ATX power
supply. The power supply must have at least 1A on the +5V standby lead
(+5VSB).
IDE connectors. These dual-channel bus master IDE connectors support
Ultra DMA133/100/66, PIO Modes 3 & 4 IDE devices. Both the primary (blue)
and secondary (black) connectors are slotted to prevent incorrect insertion of
the IDE ribbon cable.
AGP 8X slot. This Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot supports 1.5V/0.8V
AGP 8X/4X mode graphics cards for 3D graphical applications.
SATA connectors. These connectors support Serial ATA HDDs and allow
up to 150MB/s data transfer rate using thin 4-conductor SATA cables.
South bridge controller. The VIA
®
VT8237 integrated peripheral controller
supports various I/O functions including two Serial ATA ports, 2-channel
ATA/133 bus master IDE controller, up to eight USB 2.0 ports, LPC Super
I/O interface, AC’97 interface and PCI 2.2 interface.
Floppy disk connector. This connector accommodates the provided ribbon
cable for the floppy disk drive. One side of the connector is slotted to prevent
incorrect insertion of the floppy disk cable.
Standby power LED. This LED lights up if there is a standby power on the
motherboard. This LED acts as a reminder to turn off the system power
before plugging or unplugging devices.
Flash ROM. This 4Mb firmware contains the programmable BIOS program.
Super I/O controller. This Low Pin Count (LPC) interface provides the
commonly used Super I/O functionality. The chipset supports a high-
performance floppy disk controller for a 360K/720K/1.44M/2.88M floppy disk
drive, a multi-mode parallel port, two standard compatible UARTs, and a Flash
ROM interface.
Audio CODEC. The ADI 1980 is an AC’97 CODEC that allows 6-channel
audio playback.
