Chipset The VIA Apollo KT266 consists of the VT8366 V-Link DDR Host system controller and the VT8233 highly integrated V-Link Client PCI/LPC controller. The Host system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, SDRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link interface with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The VT8233 V-Link Client controller is a highly integrated PCI/LPC controller. Its internal bus structure is based on 66MHz PCI bus that provides 2x bandwidth compare to previous generation PCI/ISA bridge chips. The VT8233 integrated Client V-Link controller with 266MB/s bandwidth between Host/Client V-Link interface, provides a V-Link-PCI and V-Link-LPC controller. Of five PCI slots provided, AK77 Pro supports all five master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus; while AK77 Plus supports four master PCI slots for arbitration and decoding functions also and one slave PCI slot. Expansion Slots Including five 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro can support CNR interface for a Modem/Audio card. The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP video cards support data transfer rate up to 1066MB/s. As AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro includes one AGP expansion slot for a bus mastering AGP graphic card, For AD and SBA signaling, AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro can support 133MHz 2X/4X mode. 11 AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro Memory Online Manual With VIA Apollo KT266 chipset, the AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro can support Double-Data-Rate (DDR) SDRAM. The DDR SDRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the SDRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133MHz. The six banks of DDR SDRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M/2M4M/8M/16M/32M/64MxN SDRAM and maximum up to 3GB. The AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro allows SDRAM to run at either synchronous or pseudo-synchronous mode with the host CPU bus frequency (66/100/133MHz). Ultra DMA 33/66/100 Bus Mater IDE Comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. On-board ATA/100 IDE RAID (AK77 Plus Only) 1. Supports data striping (RAID 0) and mirroring (RAID 1). Provides dramatic increase in drive performance and/or fault tolerant options. Offers performance customization and data rebuilds from the BIOS menu. Mirroring supports automatic background rebuilds. Fault tolerance can be restored automatically without rebooting. Supports up to four IDE drives which capacities are more than 8.4GB on the two IDE RAID connectors while still supporting four IDE devices on the motherboard. The burst data transfer rates can up to 100MB/s from ATA/100 drives to boast overall system performance. 3. Supports IDE Bus Master operation allows multi-tasking during disk drives transfer which increase CPU efficiency, then the CPU is free to process task during IDE data transfer through PCI bus interface to/from system memory. 2. 12 AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro On-board AC97 Sound playback system. Online Manual AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro uses the AD 1885 AC97 CODEC chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and Six USB Connectors Provides three ports, six USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. The onboard USB Host controller is fully compliant with USB UHCI 1.1 specification that can fully compatible with low power mode and wake-up specification. 1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment Provides "1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment" function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you adjust CPU FSB frequency from 100~248 by 1MHz stepping, and lets your system can get maximum performance. Watch Dog Timer Includes AOpen "Watch Dog Timer" function that can auto-reset system in 4.8 seconds when you fail to system overclocking. Die-Hard BIOS with external controller (Upgrade Optional) The Die-Hard BIOS technology is a very effective hardware protection method that doesn't involve any software or BIOS coding. Hence, it is 100% virus free. 13 AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro Dr. LED (Upgrade Optional) Online Manual The Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro, which can easily show what kind of problem you may encounter. Power Management/Plug and Play The AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play, which helps saving users from configuration problems, thus making the system much more user-friendly. Hardware Monitoring Management Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor module and Aopen Hardware Monitoring Utility. Enhanced ACPI Fully implement the ACPI standard for Windows ® 95/98/ME/NT/2000 series compatibility, and supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4), WOM (Wake On Modem), WOL (Wake On LAN) features. Super Multi-I/O The AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections. 14 AK77 Plus / AK77 Pro Q ui c k I n s t a l l a t i o n P r o c e d ur e Online Manual This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.
