2. Introduction 2. Introduction
TheM81E-X seriesis aATX motherboardthat uses4layer printedcircuit boardandmeasures
305mm*190mm.The motherboardoffersthe highintegration, high performance,high compat-
ibility and power-efficient solution onthe powerful IntelSlot1 Pentium II/III andSEPPCeleron
series processors. It use the Intel i810E chipset which includes the FW82810E(GMCHE),
FW82801AA(ICH) and N82802AB(Firmware Hub) chip in theATX form factor.
The principal feature of this motherboard is it can support Slot1 Pentium II/III and SEPP
Celeron series processors. It operate at 66/100/133MHz FSB and CPU speeds running from
300MHz up to 733MHz.
The i810E chipset provides full AGP capability with the internal 2D/3D graphics engine for
maximumsoftware compatibility,also supportfull MPEG-2motion compensationfor software-

Thismotherbaord featurethe suspend toRAM function.In a suspendto RAM,the system isto
totally power down with the exception of the small current required to refresh the system
memory.To resume from a suspend to RAM, press the power button(or use the hot key, or
password, if you have enabled a hot key or password power on). The system will resume in
justa fewseconds, andit willappear inexactly thesame stateas itwas beforeit was suspend
to RAM. Also integrated H/W monitoring and 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN solution, which
canbe configuredforeither 100Mbps(100Base-TX)or10Mbps(10Base-T) Ethernetoperation.
It provides a RJ-45 port for user to attach the motherboard.
Themotherboard hasa comprehensive setof intergratedI/O ports. TheI/O portarray features
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse ports, a Parallel port, two USB ports, a RJ-45 port, a VGA display
port,a Game-Midi port,threeAudio jacks,twoSerial ports,anInfraredport(for IrDAorASKIR),
a FDD port and two PCI IDE ports. Also has two 168-Pin DIMM sockets for the installation 3.3V
unbuffered SDRAM module, it supports a memory bus of 100MHz, so we recommended you
can choose PC-100 compliant for performance and upgrade required. This motherboard of-
fers outstanding hardware capabilities, that provides four PCI(v2.2) slots and an AMR slot.
