FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can ra-

diate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-

cordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfer-

ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for

help.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with

the emission limits.

Notice

This user’s manual contains detailed information about the system

board. If, in some cases, some information doesn’t match those

shown in the multilingual manual, the multilingual manual should

always be regarded as the most updated version. The multilingual

manual is included in the system board package.

Introduction

Expansion Slots

• 1 AGP slot

• 5 PCI slots

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D

graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system

memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending.The universal

AGP slot supports AGP 8x with up to 2133MB/sec. bandwidth and

AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics

applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better

graphics to your PC.

Onboard Audio Features

• AC’97 2.2 extension compliant codec

• Supports Microsoft®DirectSound/DirectSound 3D

• AC’97 supported with full duplex, independent sample rate

converter for audio recording and playback

• S/PDIF-in/out compressed digital output

• 6-channel audio output via software

S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital

audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to

an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal

from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usu-

ally found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or

audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system

board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to am-

plifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD re-

corders.

6-channel Audio

The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only

when the audio utility is configured to support this function.The mic-

in at the rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.

Introduction

Onboard LAN Features

Serial ATA (SATA) IDE Interface with RAID

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0

specification. With speed of up to 1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive

performance even in data intensive environments such as audio/

video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.

• Two SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces which are compliant with

SATA 1.0 specification (1.5Gbps interface)

• Supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD

IEEE 1394 Interface (optional)

• Supports two 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports

IEEE 1394 is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI (Open Host

Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 devices

that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394 is a fast external bus

standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. In

addition to its high speed, it also supports isochronous data transfer

which is ideal for video devices that need to transfer high levels of

data in real-time. 1394 supports both Plug-and-Play and hot

plugging.

PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives

• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate

up to 133MB/sec.)

• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer

• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP

Introduction

USB Ports

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. USB 1.1 sup-

ports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/

second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device

transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of si-

multaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

BIOS

• Award BIOS, Windows®98/2000/ME/XP Plug and Play

compatible

• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up

• Supports DMI 2.0 function

• 4Mbit flash memory

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS.The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in the

DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play

BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is

designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of

computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on

using the DMI utility.

Rear Panel I/O Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors)

• One PS/2 mouse port

• One PS/2 keyboard port

• One DB-9 serial port

• One DB-25 parallel port

• 2 S/PDIF RCA jacks (S/PDIF-in and S/PDIF-out)

• Four USB 2.0/1.1 ports

• One RJ45 LAN port

• One IEEE 1394 port (optional)
