AX45F-1394 is Intel Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the SIS 648FX chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, AX45F-1394 motherboard supports Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4 1.6GHz~3.20GHz and 400/533/800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. It also supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology which brings additional intelligence to system. In the AGP performance, it has one AGP slot and supports AGP 8X mode pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 2112MB/sec. According to different customer's requirements, AX45F-1394 supports DDR 400/333/266 RAM up to 3GB maximum. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133 mode. There are 6 PCI slots provided on this board and two IEEE1394 connectors which provide data transfer rate up to 400Mb/s. 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. A total of 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back panel and one header on board give you the best use of all USB devices at the fancy speed up to 480Mbps. 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, AX45F-1394 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.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are marked as "User Upgrade Optional" or "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". Although all of AOpen's motherboards have included many amazing and powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we define features that can be upgraded by users as "User Upgrade Optional". You can upgrade these functions by purchasing additional devices. As for functions that cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". If need be, you can contact our local distributors or resellers to purchase "Manufacture Upgrade Optional" components, and again you are also welcome to visit our official website at www.aopen.com for detail information. 19 AX45F-1394 CPU Installation ® Online Manual This motherboard supports Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 series CPU (Willamette / Northwood). Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket. 1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for mark on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket.
