The AX4G Pro is Intel Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the Intel® 845G (Brookdale) chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the AX4G Pro motherboard can support Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4 and 400/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. In the AGP performance, it has one DVO / TV-OUT slot which supports DVO or TV-Out card, or 1.5V AGP interface with 4x SBA/Data Transfer and 2x/4x Fast Write capability and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. According to different customer's requirements, the Intel 845G chipset memory interface supports DDR333/266 SDRAM devices with densities of 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR SDRAM DIMM modules and the maximum me mory size can be up to 2 GB. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to 1 0 0MB/s. Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Com munication and Network Riser (CNR) card option that allows audio, mo dem configuration on a single baseboard design. More than th at, on the strength of RealTek RTL8100BL controller on board, whi c h is an highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it pro v ides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use.Besides, the AX4G Pro has an AC97 CODEC chipset onboard, providin g high performance and magic surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it. Now, let's enjoy all features from AOpen AX4G Pro motherboard. ® ® 11 AX4G Pro Fea t ure Highligh t CPU Supports Intel Socket 478 Pentium technology. ® ® Online Manual 4 1.4GHz~2.4GHz+ with 400/533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 Chipset With the Intel 845G (Brookdale) chipset, Intel delivers a discrete graphics solution with all the performance, innovative features and proven reliability of the Intel ® ® 845G chipset. With its highly scalable design, the new 845G chipset offers an ideal, ® leading-edge AGP graphics solution for Intel Pentium ® 4 processor platforms. And the smart integration in the Intel 845G chipset's I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) features USB controllers supporting six USB ports. With support for 5.1 channels of AC'97 audio and the ability to make the most of soft audio/modem technology, the 845G chipset delivers an ideal solution for innovative new form factors. Expansion Slots I ncluding six 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nec tworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from AX4G Pro can support CNR interface for a Modem/Audio card. For AGP performance, it has one DVO / TV-OUT slot which supports DVO or TV-Out card, or 1.5V AGP interface with 4x SBA/Data Transfer and 2x/4x Fast Write capability and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. For AD and SBA signaling, AX4G Pro motherboard can support 4X mode. Of six PCI slots provided, all of them are master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus. However, if you enable onboard LAN or insert CNR LAN card, the 6th PCI slot will become a slave PCI slot. 12 AX4G Pro Memory Online Manual Provides three 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2GB of DDR333/266 compliant DDR SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) (Please note that only CPU FSB 533MHz supports DDR333). You may install 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR SDRAM DIMM modules into each socket. LAN Port On the str ength of RealTek RTL8100BL controller on board, which is an 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 AX4G Pro 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 AX4G Pro 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. Die-Hard BIOS with external controller (User 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. 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 USB Connectors (2.0) 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 AX4G Pro M/B to easily show what kind of problems you may encounter. 14 AX4G Pro Dr. Voice Online Manual The Dr. Voice provides 4 kinds of language version (English, Chinese, Japanese and German) that can easily to tell what kind of problem you may encounter. Specially tailored made for users, we have defaulted the language versions of Japanese market to Japanese only to save users from the trouble of setting jumpers, and thus making motherboard a real jumper less design. 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/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 AX4G Pro Qui ck I nst al la ti o n Pr oce dur e This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.
