6.4.2 Disk Subsystems
This motherboard supports IDE drives using data transfer modes up
through ATA-100. If you use IDE drives as the primary disk subsystem,
selecting drives that support ATA-100 and have a high rotation speed (at
least 7,200rpm) will maximize performance. If you need even better per-
formance from a disk subsystem, you can consider adding a SCSI con-
troller card and SCSI disk drive. A SCSI disk controller with highspeed
SCSI hard disk drives will provide a substantial performance enhance-
ment.
6.4.3 Processor Upgrades & Adjustments
Processor speed has a significant effect on overall system performance.
To increase system performance, you can consider using or upgrading to
a faster processor. The Intel Pentium 4 processor used by this mother-
board comes in a variety of clock speeds. To maximize performance,
select a processor with the fastest clock speed the system budget or speci-
fication allows. The CMOS Setup Utility’s Frequency/Voltage Setting
section will automatically detect and configure whatever processors are
installed. Manual configuration is also available, but setting the Intel Pen-
tium 4 processor to operating parameters outside those specified can
damage the CPU and void the warranty.
6.5 Troubleshooting
This section details some things you can do to evaluate problems that
could possibly occur in the course of using this motherboard. The topics
covered include possible hardware problems and problems with the
CMOS Setup Utility’s system configuration record.
6.6 Hardware Problems
A hardware problem may occur either after you install additional hard-
ware or because some existing hardware has failed or has a disconnected
or loose connection. This section has some pointers on things you can
check before seeking assistance.
6.6.1 General Hardware Troubleshooting
If the motherboard does not operate properly when you first try to use it
in the system, it is likely that it is either configured incorrectly; there are
problems with external connections. It os also possible the board or some
other system component is defective. Always check the most obvious
possibilities first.
