SY-P4I845PEISA/GEISA Quick Start Guide

Step 4. Install expansion cards

The motherboard has 1 AGP slot, 4 PCI slots and 3 ISA slots.

1.Read the instruction document of the related expansion card before inserting the expansion card into the computer.

2.Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion slot on the motherboard.

3.Make sure the metal contacts on the card are correctly seated in the slot.

4.Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.

5.Install related driver for the operating system you use.

Note1: Only AGP card with 1.5 volts can be used in this M/B (any card supporting AGP 4X or higher). Using 3.3 volts AGP card (AGP 1X or 2X cards) will damage your motherboard. For AGP card voltage specification, please check the AGP card manual or contact your AGP card manufacturer.

Note2: When you use an AGP add-in card on the P4I845GEISA mainboard, the onboard VGA will automatically be disabled. It’s not possible to use onboard VGA and an AGP add-in card at he same time. For both versions (P4I845PEISA and P4I845GEISA) note that when using a PCI VGA card, make sure that the “Init Display setting” is set to PCI slot instead of onboard/AGP. Also, note that when using a PCI VGA card the on chip VGA setup option can be used to disable onboard VGA.

CMOS Clear (JP5)

In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear the CMOS memory.

1.Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap.

2.Then put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the CMOS memory.
