With support for AC'97 audio and the ability to make the most of soft audio/modem technology, the 845GL chipset delivers an ideal solution for innovative new form factors. Expansion Slots Including three 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one multiplexed Intel DVO Port. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from MX4LS support CNR interface for a Modem/Audio card. The multiplexed Intel DVO Port specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed which supports DVI/TV-Out add-on card. Of three PCI slots provided, all of them are master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus. 11 MX4LS Memory Online Manual Provides two 168-pin SDRAM DIMM sockets that support up to 2GB of PC-100/133 compliant SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). You may install 64, 128, 256, 512MB or 1GB SDRAM DIMM modules into each socket. 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 MX4LS uses 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 to adjust FSB frequency from 100~248 by 1MHz stepping adjustment, and helps your system get maximum performance. Watch Dog Timer Includes AOpen "Watch Dog Timer" function that can auto-reset default settings in 4.8 seconds when you fail system overclocking. 12 MX4LS S/PDIF Connectors Online Manual S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is the newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Six USB2.0 Connectors Provides three ports, six USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. 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 series compatibility, and supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4) features. 13 MX4LS Super Multi-I/O Online Manual 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. 14 MX4LS 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.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are marked as "User Upgrade Optional" or "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". Although all of AOpen's motherboards have included many amazing and powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we define features that can be upgraded by users as "User Upgrade Optional". You can upgrade these functions by purchasing additional devices. As for functions that cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as "Manufacture Upgrade Optional". If need be, you can contact our local distributors or resellers to purchase "Manufacture Upgrade Optional" components, and again you are also welcome to visit our official website at www.aopen.com for detail information. 19 MX4LS 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.
