AX45-8X / AX45-8XN is Intel® Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the SIS 648 chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, AX45-8X / AX45-8XN motherboard can support Intel® Socket 478 Pentium® 4 (Willamette / Northwood) and 533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. In the AGP performance, it has one AGP slot and supports AGP 8X mode and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 2112MB/sec. According to different customer's requirements, this motherboard supports DDR333 (PC2700) SDRAM up to 2GB maximum and DDR 266 (PC2100) SDRAM up to 3GB maximum. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 mode. Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Communication and Network Riser (CNR) card option that allows audio and modem configuration on a single baseboard design. More than that, on the strength of Realtek 8100BL LAN controller on board, which is a highly integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use. Besides, AX45-8X / AX45-8XN has a S/PDIF connector and an AC97 CODEC chipset onboard, providing high performance and magic surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it. Now, let's enjoy all features from AOpen AX45-8X / AX45-8XN motherboard. 11 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Feature Highlight CPU Online Manual Supports Intel® Socket 478 Pentium® 4 (Willamette / Northwood) 1.4GHz~2.4GHz+ with 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 technology. Chipset The motherboard is equipped with SIS 648 chipset. SIS 648 Host & Memory & AGP Controller integrates a high performance host interface for Intel Pentium 4 processor, a high performance memory controller, a AGP interface. The SIS 648 Host Interface supports Intel Pentium 4 Series processors with FSB up to 133MHz. The host interface plays the role of processor transactions' dispatcher. It dispatches transactions to Memory, I/O interface and AGP bus. Transactions to different destinations can be dispatched concurrently in order to maximum pipeline efficiency. The Memory controller can support both DDR and SDR. The memory controller also supports the Suspend to RAM function by retaining the CKE# pins asserted in ACPI S3 state in which only AUX source deliver power. The AGP interface can support external AGP slot with AGP 2X/4X/8X capability and Fast Write Transactions. 12 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Expansion Slots Online Manual Including six 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 2X/4X/8X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from AX45-8X / AX45-8XN 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 2112MB/s. Of six PCI slots provided, all of them are master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus. Memory Provides three 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2GB of PC2700(DDR333) and 3GB of PC2100(DDR266) compliant SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). Watch Dog Timer Includes AOpen "Watch Dog Timer" function that can auto-reset system in 4.8 seconds when you fail to system overclocking. 1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment Provides "1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment" function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you to adjust CPU FSB frequency from 100~248MHz by 1MHz stepping adjustment, and helps your system get maximum performance. 13 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN LAN Port (for AX45-8XN) Online Manual On the strength of Realtek 8100BL LAN controller on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet for office and home use. Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 Bus Mater IDE Comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 5, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. On-board AC'97 Sound AX45-8X / AX45-8XN uses RealTek ALC650 AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system. Six USB2.0 Ports Provides four ports on the back panel and one connector with a total of six USB ports for USB2.0 interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. Dr. LED Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on this AX45-8X / AX45-8XN M/B to easily show what kind of problems you may encounter. 14 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN AGP Protection Technology Online Manual With AGP Protection Technology implemented, this motherboard will automatically detect the voltage of AGP card and prevent your chipsets from being burnt out. S/PDIF Connectors S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is the newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. On-board IEEE 1394 Connectors (For AX45-8XN) Comes with three onboard IEEE 1394 (IEEE-1394a-2000) fully compliant cable ports at 100/200/400 Mbits/sec for you to connect IEEE 1394 devices, such as digital camera or other IEEE 1394 storage devices. Power Management/Plug and Play 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 save users from configuration problems, thus making the system much user-friendlier. Hardware Monitoring Management Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor module. 15 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Enhanced ACPI Online Manual Fully implement the ACPI standard for Windows® 98/ME/2000 series compatibility, and supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4) features. Super Multi-I/O Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART can also be directed from COM1 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections. 16 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Quick Installation Procedure This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.
