The MX46LS is Intel Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the Micro ATX form factor featuring the SIS 650GX / SIS 961B chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the MX46LS motherboard can support Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4 (Willamette / Northwood) and 400 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. In the AGP performance, it has one AGP slot and supports AGP 4X mode and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. According to different customer's requirements, 128, 256, 512Mb and 1GB SDRAM DIMM modules can be applied to the motherboard and the maximum memory size can be up to 2 GB. The onboard IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 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, and/or LAN configuration on a single baseboard design. More than that, on the strength of Realtek RTL8100 LAN controller on board, which is a highly integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use (Optional). Besides, the MX46LS has a RealTek ALC201A 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 MX46LS motherboard. ® ® 10 MX46LS Feature Highlight CPU Online Manual Supports Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4 (Brookdale) 1.4GHz~2.4GHz+ with 400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 technology. ® ® Chipset The motherboard is equipped with SIS 650GX / 961B chipset. SIS 650GX chipset consists of host interface Controller and integrated high performance SDRAM Host system controller, which provide superior performance between the CPU, SDRAM, AGP bus, and delivering 533MB/s Bandwidth. In coordination with SIS 650GX, the SIS 961B chipset integrated fast Ethernet/Home networking controller, Audio/Modem Controller with AC'97 interface and advanced power management, which can strongly enhance the system performance. Expansion Slots Including three 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 1x2x4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from MX46LS can support CNR interface for a Modem/Audio card. The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP video cards support data transfer rate up to 1056MB/s. MX46LS motherboard includes one AGP expansion slot for a bus mastering AGP graphic card. For AD and SBA signaling, MX46LS motherboard can support 4X mode. Of three PCI slots provided, all of them are master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus. 11 MX46LS Memory Online Manual With SIS 650GX / 961B chipset, the MX46LS provides two 168-pin SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2 GB of PC-100/133 compliant SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). You may install 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1GB SDRAM DIMM modules into each socket. LAN Port On the strength of Realtek RTL8100 LAN 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 33/66/100/133 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 33/66/100/133, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 6, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. On-board AC'97 Sound MX46LS uses the RealTek ALC201A AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system. Six USB Connectors Provides three ports, six USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. 12 MX46LS Dr. LED (Upgrade Optional) Online Manual The Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on this MX46LS 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. 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. 13 MX46LS Quick Installation Procedure This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.
