This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television re-
ception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment onto an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interconnect cables and shielded AC power cable must be employed with this
equipment to insure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this
device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the system’s manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

view the sections on configuring and using the board,
especially if an Operating System is not installed yet.
If You Need To Install This Motherboard
We recommend that only experienced users and techni-
cians install this motherboard. Otherwise, we suggest
having a qualified computer technician install and con-
figure the system. This service is usually provided at a
nominal fee by better computer stores and service com-
panies.

Intel 845G/GL Chipsets
The mP4G and Mp4GL motherboards use variations of
the Intel 845 Chipset, a multi-function chipset for higher-
end performance and mainstream systems. The mP4G
uses the 845G chipset and the mP4GL uses the 845GL.
Both chipsets include a high performance onboard dis-
play graphics controller. The difference between the two
is that the 845G chipset on the mP4G supports the use of
an AGP display card installed in the AGP slot, while the
845GL chipset on the mP4GL does not. The 845GL chipset
only allows the use of a DVI interface display card (for
LCD flat-panel displays) or a TV-Out card in the onboard
AGP slot.
The components of the chipset components include the
following devices mounted on the board:
mP4G –
North Bridge: 82845G Memory Controller Hub
(533MHz FSB)
South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
mP4GL –
North Bridge: 82845GL Memory Controller Hub
(400MHZ FSB)
South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
The chipset provides host bus, memory, AGP, and I/O
interfaces.
Winbond Super I/O
Both motherboards also use the Winbond W83637HF
Super I/O controller chip, which has the following func-
tions:
Hardware monitor
Memory Stick/Secure Digital interface
Smart Card interface

CPU Socket
Function: The system CPU installs in this socket.
Description: The mPGA478B CPU socket supports all 478-
pin Intel Pentium 4 CPUs that use this socket. The
motherboard comes with a “retention mechanism” mount-
ing frame on the board to attach the heatsink and cooling
fan assembly required by the Pentium 4 CPU.
More Information: See the section in Chapter 4 on “In-
stalling CPUs” for information supported CPUs and their
installation procedure. Technical specifications are listed
in Chapter 7.
mPGA478B Socket:
This socket is for 478-pin
Pentium 4 CPUs only.
Note;
Both 400MHz and 533MHz
Frontside Bus Pentium 4
CPUs are supported.
