5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency

CPU Core Voltage Auto Detectable

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically

detected and the range is from 1.1V to 1.925V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage.

Setting CPU Frequency

This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the BIOS

setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setting

Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio

Note: Some CPU fans do not

have sensor pin so they

cannot support fan

monitoring.

Warning: Intel

®875P chipset

supports maximum 800MHz

(200MHz*4) system bus and

66MHz AGP clock; higher clock

setting may cause serious

system damage.

4. Connecting Front Panel Cable

Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to

the corresponding pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in

BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while the

system is in suspend mode.

Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is

2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this

connector to the soft-power switch connector marked SPWR.

Note: Since the latest processor,

Northwood, would detect the

clock ratio automatically, you

may not be able to adjust the

clock ratio in BIOS manually.

9. Support Eight USB2.0 Connectors

6. Serial ATA Supported (With RAID support on AX4C

Pro, AX4C Max only)

This motherboard comes with integrated Serial ATA controller in chip, aiming to provide you

an even faster transfer rate of 150 Mbytes/second. Integrated in North Bridge, this

motherboard also comes along with RAID function that supports RAID 0, while AX4C MAX

supports extra RAID 0+1 with Promise PDC20378 by ATA133 IDE connector. Please be

noted that Hot-Plug in is not allowed.

7. Connecting Serial ATA Disk

To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends

of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every

other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a

jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk.

When connecting two serial ATA disks, the system will automatically take the one connected

to “Serial ATA 1” header as a master disk.

-G, AX4C Max)

(AX4C Pro, User Upgrade Optional)

Many viruses have been found that they may destroy bios code and data area lately. This

motherboard implements a very effective hardware protection method without any software or

BIOS coding involved, therefore it is 100% virus free. You may restore the originally mounted

BIOS with 2nd BIOS ROM by setting JP24 to pin 2-3 if it fails to work properly.

12. Memory Module (128-Bit DDR Dual Channel)

10. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector

(AX4C Pro, AX4C Max only)

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides

impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of

analog audio. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the

most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector

with better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF

connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output.

However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital

input to connect to the S

PDIF digital output to make the most out of this function.

In the past, we used to have 64-bit memory bandwidth for memory access. No matter how

many memory modules have been installed, though capacity added, the speed of access

remains the same. With 128-bit dual channel introduced, it doubles the memory bandwidth

up to 5.4GB in advanced 128-bit mode. This motherboard supports DDR400/333 with

Maximum capacity up to 4GB.

With AGERE 1394 Control chip (with AGERE FW323), the IEEE 1394 provides data

transfer rate up to 400Mb/s, and USB just has 12Mbps. Hence, the IEEE 1394 interface

can connect with the devices that need high data transferring performance, such as digital

camera, scanner or others IEEE 1394 devices. Please use the proper cable to connect

with devices.
