i see articles mentioning this backplate, although theres not one in box or manual? anyone have any idea or was it something that never made it to production boards?
Thanks
 
The P4T uses a standard backpanel so it would not ship with another one. Boards like the P4T533 that uses a non-standard backpanel come with one.

Edit: Nevermind - I thought you were referring to the I/O backplate.
 
Perhaps what you're thinking of is the original Asus P4T which came with an insulator pad and a metal plate the mobo attatched to so you could use the mobo with the heavy P4 Heatsink assy in a non P4 ATX case. I had this mobo and it worked quite nicely. In other words the metal plate was attatched to the case, then the insulator pad, then the mobo.
You can see a pic here .
 
exactly its an old p4t 423 model
i sold this board nib to my brother who started looking into it, he said a plate was missing & sent me some links showing a back panel the board went to.
i didnt know if it was needed or not? would the board bolt in a std aftermarket case & be fine w/o it? Asus shows nothing on their website about it? the board is/was new so i thought it wasnt actually put into production & sold with that panel?
 
Found the answer for you on Asus' website....you must have a newer version of the board. 🙂

Question :

Do I need to use Pentium4 compatible chassis with P4T?

Answer :

No, you can just use regular ATX chassis on P4T. It comes with heatsink retaining moudles using push-pins to mount the modules on the PCB. This new retaining mechanism has passed shock and vibration tests in ASUS environmental laboratory. P4T shipped prior to the beginning of 2001/July comes with a metal baseboard as the interface to the chassis while the heatsink retaining modules are to be mounted on the baseboard.
