The AX4GE FM is Intel® Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the Intel® 845GE (Brookdale) chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the AX4GE FM motherboard can support Intel ® Socket 478 Pentium ® 4 (Brookdale) and 400/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. According to different customer's requirements, the Intel 845GE chipset memory interface supports DDR333/266 SDRAM devices with densities of 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR RAM DIMM modules and the maximum memory size can be up to 2 GB (Please note that only CPU FSB 533 supports DDR333). The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to 100MB/s. Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Communication and Network Riser (CNR) card option that allows audio, modem configuration on a single baseboard design. More than that, on the strength of RealTek RTL8100BL controller on board, which is a highly integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use. Besides, the AX4GE FM has 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 AX4GE FM motherboard. 11 AX4GE FM F e a t u r e Hi g h l i g h t CPU Online Manual Supports Intel® Socket 478 Pentium ® 4 1.4GHz~2.80GHz+ with 400/533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 technology.

You may install 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR RAM DIMM modules into each socket. (Please note that only CPU FSB 533 supports DDR333). LAN Port On the strength of RealTek RTL8100BL 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 Bus Master 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 5, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. On-board AC'97 Sound AX4GE FM uses the AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system. 1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment Provides "1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment" function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you adjust FSB frequency from 100~248 by 1MHz stepping adjustment, and lets your system can get maximum performance. 13 AX4GE FM Watch Dog Timer Online Manual Includes AOpen "Watch Dog Timer" function that can auto-reset default settings in 4.8 seconds when you fail to system overclocking. S/PDIF Connectors S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Six USB2.0 Connectors Provides three ports, six USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. Compared to traditional USB 1.0/1.1 with the speed of 12Mbps, USB 2.0 has a fancy speed up to 480Mbps, which is 40 times faster than the traditional one. Dr. LED (User Upgrade Optional) The Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on this AX4GE FM M/B to easily show what kind of problems you may encounter. 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. 14 AX4GE FM Hardware Monitoring Management Online Manual Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor module. Enhanced ACPI Fully implement the ACPI standard for Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP 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. 15 AX4GE FM 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.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may find some of functions are called "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional", and some are called "User Upgrade Optional". Though all AOpen motherboards include many amazing and powerful features, in some situations, these powerful features are not used to every user. Hence, we changed some key features as "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional" for you to choose. Some optional functions that can be upgraded by users, we call them "User Upgrade Optional". As for those optional functions that can't be upgraded by ourselves, we call them "Manufacturer Upgrade Optional". If needed, you can contact our local distributors or resellers for purchasing "User Upgrade Optional" components, and again you can visit AOpen official web site: www.aopen.com.for more detail information. 20
