The MX4B is Intel® Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the Micro ATX form factor featuring the Intel ® 845 (Brookdale) chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the MX4B 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, 64, 128, 256, 512MB and 1GB DDR 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 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 Intel 82562ET PHY on board, which is an highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use (Optional). Besides, the MX4B has a RealTek ALC201 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 MX4B motherboard. 10 MX4B F e a t u r e Hi g h l i g h t CPU Online Manual Supports Intel ® Socket 478 Pentium ® 4 (Willamette / Northwood) 1.4GHz~2.4GHz+ with 400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) designed for Socket 478 technology. Chipset With the Intel® 845 (Brookdale) chipset, Intel delivers a discrete graphics solution with all the performance, innovative features and proven reliability of the Intel ® 845 chipset. With its highly scalable design, the new 845 chipset offers an ideal, leading-edge AGP graphics solution for Intel ® Pentium ® 4 processor platforms. And the smart integration in the Intel 845 chipset's I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) features two USB controllers supporting four 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 845 chipset delivers an ideal solution for innovative new form factors. Expansion Slots Including three 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from MX4B 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. MX4B motherboard includes one AGP expansion slot for a bus mastering AGP graphic card. For AD and SBA signaling, MX4B 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 MX4B Memory Online Manual Provides two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2GB of PC-200/266 compliant DDR SDRAM ( Double Date Rate, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). You may install 64, 128, 256, 512mb and 1GB DDR SDRAM DIMM modules into each socket. LAN Port (Optional) On the strength of Intel 82562ET PHY 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 Mater 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 MX4B uses the RealTek ALC201 AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system. Four USB Connectors Provides two ports, four USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. 12 MX4B 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 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 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 MX4B 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.
