Low ESR Capacitor
Online Manual
The quality of low ESR capacitor (Low Equivalent Series Resistance) during high frequency operation is very important for the stability of CPU power. The idea of where to put these capacitors is another know-how that requires experience and detail calculation. Not only that, MX46U2-GN / MX46-533GN implements 3300F capacitors, which is much larger than normal capacitor (1000 & 1500F) and it provides better stability for CPU power.

The power circuit of the CPU core voltage must be checked to ensure system stability for high speed CPUs (such as the new Pentium III, or when overclocking). A typical CPU core voltage is 2. 0V, so a good design should control voltage between 1. 860V and 2. 140V. Below is a timing diagram captured by a Digital Storage Scope, it shows the voltage transient is only 143mv even when maximum 60A current is applied.
Note: This diagram for example only, it may not be exactly the same as the motherboard you purchased.

Phoenix Award BIOS
System parameters can be modified by going into BIOS Setup menu, this menu allows you to configure the system parameters and save the configuration into the 128 bytes CMOS area, (normally in the RTC chip or in the main chipset). The Phoenix AwardBIOSTM that installed in the Flash ROM of the motherboard is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as hard disk drives, serial and parallel ports. Most BIOS setting of this model had been optimized by AOpen's R&D engineering team. But, the default setting of BIOS still can't fine-tune the chipset controlling the entire system. Hence, the rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using setup procedures. To enter to BIOS setup menu, press <Del> when POST (Power-On Self Test) screen is shown on your monitor.
Note: Because the BIOS code is the most often changed part of the motherboard design, the BIOS information contained in this manual may be different with actual BIOS that come with your motherboard.
