CPU
Supports Intel
®
Xeon™ 1.8GHz above with FSB400/533MHz (Front Side Bus) designed for Socket 604 technology.
Chipset
With Intel
®
E7505 chipset is designed for use with the Intel
®
Xeon™ processor in the 604-pin package. It is optimized for the
Intel
®
Xeon™ processor, supporting Dual channel of DDR 200/266.
Expansion Slots
Including three 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X, one 32-bit/33MHz PCI slot and one 64bit/100MHz PCI-X slot with ZCR Function support
(DXPL Plus-U).
SCSI On-board (DXPL Plus-U)
The dual channel Adaptec AIC-7902W chip host adapter delivers Ultra320/m SCSI data transfer rates which doubles the Ultra3
SCSI data transfer rate of up to 320MB/s. With two channels, it delivers a total of 640MB/s bandwidth. In addition, the
AIC-7902W features a 66MHz, 64bit PCI interface that supports zero wait-state memory that also operates on 33MHz, 32bit PCI
buses. It supports up to 30 devices on a 12 meters cable (or 25 meters in a point to point configuration), making it ideal for both
clustering and RAID configurations.

82545 GbE LAN controller
Another cost-effective feature for network solution is the integration of Intel 82545 GbE Fast Ethernet controllers. The Intel
82545 GbE integrates Intel’s fourth-generation Gigabit MAC design with fully integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a
standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications.
Memory
This motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR RAM DIMM sockets that support up to 8GB of DDR200/DDR266 compliant
unbuffered DDR RAM. You may install 64, 128, 256, 512Mb and 1Gb DDR RAM DIMM modules into each socket.
Six USB2.0 Connectors
There are four connectors on the back pane for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. All two
USB Connectors support USB2.0. You can use proper cables to connect USB devices from PC99 back panel or connect the 3rd
USB channel header to the front panel of chassis.
Power Management/Plug and Play
Supports the power management function that conforms to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play
, helping save users from configuration problems and makes the

This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and
other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are
marked as “User Upgrade Optional” or “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. Although all of AOpen’s motherboards have included
many amazing and powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we
define features that can be upgraded by users as “User Upgrade Optional”. You can upgrade these functions by purchasing
additional devices. As for functions that cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. If
need be, you can contact our local distributors or resellers to purchase “Manufacture Upgrade Optional” components, and again
you are also welcome to visit our official website at Http://english.aopen.com.tw
for detail information.

Note: Some CPU fans do not have sensor pin, so that cannot
support fan monitoring.

DXPL-U/DXPL Plus-U provides an AGP 8x slot. Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a high-performance, component level
interface targeted at 3D graphical display applications. Retaining backward compatibility with the older AGP 4x technology, AGP
8x doubles the graphics bandwidth of the AGP interface to 2.1 gigabytes per second (GB/s) which is designed to benefit
applications on today's most popular workstation platforms.
