Digital X bus Supermicro motherboard replacement installation guide  

  

Overview

:  

The Supermicro P4spa+ is a replacement motherboard for the previously used Iwill P4se. The 
Supermicro P4spa+ will use all of the previous peripheral components such as the P4 3.0 GHz 
processor, Zalman heat sink, PC3200 RAM, and the ATI 9200 video card.  
 
The only item that will not be used is the 16 pin flat ribbon. The 16 pin flat ribbon cabled was used 
to connect the MIDI/Footswitch daughter board to the game port of the Iwill motherboard. This 
connection will require a new conversion cable made with the correct pinout to correspond with 
the Supermicro P4spa+. 

 

Please read, and follow all installation 
Instructions before proceeding. 

 

• Keep the new motherboard in its protective anti-static bag until 
the exact moment you are ready to use it. 
 
• This repair requires opening your Digital X bus and handling sensitive electronic components. 
Anti-static precautions must be taken in order to prevent damage to the unit or to the new 
motherboard from electro-static discharge (ESD).  
 
It is highly recommended that you read getting inside the digital X bus located at the link below.
