The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) allows 16 bits at a time to flow between the motherboard circuitry and an expansion slot card and its associated device(s). 11 MX36LE-UI Memory Online Manual The MX36LE-UI supports both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM, which allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133MHz. The two banks of DIMM slots can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M/2M/4M/8M/16MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (66/100/133MHz) or pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus frequency. Onboard Trident Blade3D Graphics Engine This motherboard integrates rich AGP graphics capabilities of the Trident Blade3D graphics engine, which provides full AGP 2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1X/2X/4x mode transfers, SBA (Side Band Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. The AGP 4X specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP4X video cards support data transfer rates up to 1066MB/s. Ultra ATA 33/66/100 Enhanced IDE This motherboard comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra ATA 33/66/100, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. On-board AC97 Sound This motherboard uses the AC97 sound chip, which includes a complete capability of audio recording and playback system. 12 MX36LE-UI Power Management/Plug and Play Online Manual 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 to system user-friendlier. Hardware Monitoring Management Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor module and AOpen Hardware Monitoring Utility. Enhanced ACPI Fully implement the ACPI standard for Windows® 95/98/ME/NT/2000 series compatibility, and supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4), and WOL (Wake On LAN) features. Super Multi-I/O Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections. 13 MX36LE-UI Q ui c k I n s t a l l a t i o n P r o c e d ur e This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.

Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. 1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. 2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. 16 MX36LE-UI J P 1 4 C l e a r C MO S D a t a Online Manual You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below. 1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power. 2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2. 3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds. 4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 and pin 2. 5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2. Tip: When should I Clear CMOS? 1. Boot fail because of overclocking... 2. Forget password... 3. Troubleshooting...

Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket. 1. 2. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the CPU into the socket. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation. 3. Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, you may damage the CPU.
