As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the AX4GR / AX4GR-N 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 845G chipset memory interface supports DDR333/266 SDRAM devices with densities of 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR SDRAM 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 an highly-integ r ated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Eth e rnet for office and home use (AX4GR-N only). Besides, the AX4G R / AX4GR-N has an AC97 CODEC chipset onboard, providing high performance and magic surround stereo sound to let pe ople enjoy working with it. Now, let's enjoy all features from A O pen AX4GR / AX4GR-N motherboard. ® ® 11 AX4GR / AX4GR-N F e a t ur e H i g h li g h 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-G) chipset, Intel delivers a discrete graphics solution with all the performance, innovative ® ® features and proven reliability of the Intel 845G chipset.

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 AX4GR / AX4GR-N 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 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 AX4GR / AX4GR-N 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 AX4GR / AX4GR-N Hardware Monitoring Management Online Manual Supports CPU or system fans status, temp erature 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 AX4GR / AX4GR-N Q u i c k I n s t a ll a t i o n P r oc e d u re 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
