The onboard Promise PDC20375 chip supports ATA133 and the latest Serial ATA functions; you can connect two Serial ATA devices and one ATA133 device on this motherboard. On-board AC'97 Sound AX4GE Tube / AX4PE Tube uses RealTek AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system. Sovtek 6922 Dual Triode Tube This tube Motherboard incorporates Sovtek 6922 dual Triode tube to provide you the incredible sound effects that even audiophiles would be stunned when they listened the music. Six USB2.0 Ports Provides four ports on the back panel, one USB connector on the board, providing a total of six USB2.0 interface devices such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. 14 AX4GE Tube / AX4PE Tube S/PDIF Connectors Online Manual 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. 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. Enhanced ACPI 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. 15 AX4GE Tube / AX4PE Tube Quick Installation Procedure 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 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 english.aopen.com.tw for detail information. 20
