User manual AOPEN MX64

[. . . ] Chapter 1 Overview MX64 is a slot 1 based motherboard that utilizes VIA 694X AGPset on Micro ATX form factor. It implements an onboard audio CODEC and supports new architectures such as AGP 4x, SDRAM, Ultra DMA 33/66, Bus master IDE and USB ports. It supports three Dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots that allow the installation of SDRAM memory and expansion up to a maximum of 768MB. In addition to the above features, MX64 also implements plenty of fabulous features.

Caution: Make sure that the power supply is off before connecting or disconnecting the power cable. +5V 3. 3V 5V SB 3. 3V +5V PWR2 2. 3. 2 Fan The CPU fan connectors are marked as CPUFAN1 and CPUFAN2 on the system board. You can plug the CPU fan cable to both the 2-pin fan connector CPUFAN2 and the 3-pin fan connector CPUFAN1. Note that only CPUFAN1 and FAN support the fan monitoring function, because 3-pin fan has an extra pin called SENSE, which periodically sends fan signal out.

The motherboard contains two USB connectors, which are marked as USB. PCB USB 2. 3. 8 Floppy Drive Connect the 34-pin floppy drive cable to the floppy drive connector marked as FDC on the system board. 2 1 34 33 FDC 2-11 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 9 IDE Hard Disk and CD ROM This motherboard supports two 40-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 and IDE2. IDE1 is also known as the primary channel and IDE2 as the secondary channel. Each channel supports two IDE devices that make a total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to master and slave mode. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on your IDE device, so please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly. Connect your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel. If you have second IDE device to install in your system, connect it as slave mode on the same channel, and the third and fourth device can be connected on secondary channel as master and slave mode respectively. 2 1 40 39 IDE2 2 1 40 39 IDE1 Caution: The specification of the IDE cable is a maximum of 46cm (18 inches), make sure your cable does not exceed this length. Caution: For better signal quality, it is recommended to set the far end side device to master mode and follow the suggested sequence to install your new device. Please refer to the following figure.

Attach the power LED, keylock, speaker, SPWR, IDE LED and reset switch to the corresponding pins as shown in the figure. If your ATX housing supports ACPI specification, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing if you have enabled "suspend mode" item in the BIOS Setup. 1 GND KEYLOCK +5V IDE LED IDE LED +5V +5V GND NC SPEAKER 11 SPWR GND ACPI & POWER LED GND +5V GND GND GND RESET GND 10 20 PANEL 1 Keylock 11 + + SPWR IDE LED + ACPI & + + + Power LED Speaker Reset 10 20 PANEL Caution: Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. Plug this connector onto the soft-power switch connector on the panel, which is marked as SPWR. 2. 3. 11 IrDA Connector The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Win95 Direct Cable Connection, the user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector supports HPSIR (115. 2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps). 2-13 Hardware Installation Install the infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from the BIOS setup, make sure to have the correct orientation when you plug in the IrDA connector.

Since Internal Modem card consumes no power when system power is off, it is recommended to use an internal modem. [. . . ] 6. Note: Make sure you have set the display mode to the default setting (640 x 480, 16 colors) prior to uninstalling the VIA 4 in 1 driver. Note: Both VIA AGP driver and audio driver don't support Windows NT. 3-2 Software Installation 4. 2 Software Installation in Windows 98 For installing Windows 98, please make sure you have followed below procedures. Enable USB Controller in BIOS Setup menu to make BIOS fully capable of controlling IRQ assignment. Install the VIA 4 in 1 driver, which includes VIA Bus Master IDE Driver, AGP Vxd driver, IRQ routing driver, and VIA chipset function registry program. [. . . ]
