The AX4PER-G / AX4PER-GN is Intel Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form factor featuring the Intel® 845PE chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the AX4PER-G / AX4PER-GN motherboard can support Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4 533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. In the AGP performance, it has one 1.5V AGP interface with 4x SBA/Data Transfer and 4x Fast Write capability and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. According to different customer's requirements, the Intel 845PE 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. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to 100MB/s.More than that, on the strength of RealTek RTL8101L controller(for AX4PER-GN) on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use. Besides, the AX4PER-G / AX4PER-GN 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 AX4PER-G / AX4PER-GN motherboard. ® ® 10 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN Fea t ure Highligh t CPU Supports Intel Socket 478 Pentium technology. ® ® Online Manual 4 1.4GHz~3.06GHz+ with 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 Chipset The 845PE chipset contains two core components designed for the desktop platform: the 845PE Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), and the Intel I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4). These components are interconnected via an Intel proprietary interface called Hub Interface. The Hub Interface is designed into the 845PE chipset to provide an efficient, high bandwidth communication channel between the GMCH and the ICH4. The GMCH component provides the processor interface, system memory interface, Hub interface, AGP interface, and an integrated graphics device with analog and digital display ports. The ICH4 integrates a Universal Serial Bus 2.0 controller, Ultra ATA/100 Controller, Low Pin Count interface, Firmware Hub Flash BIOS interface controller, PCI interface controller, integrated LAN, AC'97 digital controller, and a Hub Interface for communication with the GMCH. Expansion Slots Including six 32-bit/33MHz PCI and one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. For AGP performance, it has one 1.5V AGP interface with 4x SBA/Data Transfer and 4x Fast Write capability and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. 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, the 6th PCI slot will become a slave PCI slot. 11 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN Memory Online Manual Provide two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2GB of DDR333/266 compliant DDR SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). You may install 64, 128, 256, 512Mb DDR SDRAM DIMM modules into each socket. LAN Port (For AX4PER-GN) On the strength of RealTek RTL8101L 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 AX4PER-G / AX4PER-GN use 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 100~255 by 1MHz stepping adjustment, and lets your system can get maximum performance. 12 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN WatchDog ABS Online Manual Includes AOpen "WatchDog ABS" function that can auto-reset default settings in 4.8 seconds when you fail to system overclocking. Six USB 2.0 Connectors Provides four ports, one USB 2.0 connector 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. 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. 13 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN 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.

If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. 17 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN Online Manual A b o u t " Ma n u f a c t ur e r U p g ra d e O p ti o n a l " a n d " U s e r U p g r a d e Optional"... 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. 18 AX4PER- G / AX4PER- GN J P 1 4 C l e a r C MO S D a t a You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
