Thank you for choosing AOpen AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V motherboard. This motherboard is Intel
®
Pentium 4
(Willamette/Northwood) motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX form featuring the Intel
®
845 (Brookdale) chipset. With a high
performance chipset built in the M/B, this motherboard can support Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 and 100/400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB)
clock. In the AGP performance, it supports on-board AGP function in 1X/2X/4x mode and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst
transfer up to 1066MB/sec. Besides, PC-100/PC-133 SDRAM
can be applied to this motherboard and the maximum memory
size can be up to 3GB. The on-board IDE controller supports Ultra DMA
33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to 100MB/s.
Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Communication and Network Riser (CNR)
card option that allows
audio, modem, and/or LAN configuration on a single baseboard design. This
motherboard has an AC97
CODEC chipset onboard to provide high performance
and amazing surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it.
Now, welcome to enjoy all features from AOpen AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V
motherboard.

CPU
Supports Intel
®
Socket 478 Pentium
®
4 1.5GHz~2.4GHz+ with 400MHz system bus designed for Socket 478 technology.
Chipset
Intel delivers a discrete graphics solution with all the performance, innovative features and proven reliability of the Intel
®
845
chipset (Brookdale). With its highly scalable design, the new 845 chipset offers an ideal, leading-edge AGP graphics solution for
Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor platforms. And the smart integration in the Intel 845 chipset's I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) features two
USB controllers supporting four USB ports. With support for 5.1 channels of AC’97 audio and the ability to make the most of soft
audio/modem technology, the 845 chipset delivers an ideal solution for innovative new form factors.
Expansion Slots
Including five 32-bit/33MHz PCI and one CNR expansion slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP video
cards support data transfer rate up to 1066MB/s. As AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V motherboard includes one AGP expansion slot for a
bus mastering AGP graphic card. For AD and SBA signaling, AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V can support 133MHz 2X/4X mode.

Memory
This motherboard provides three 168-pin SDRAM DIMM socket that support up to 3GB of PC-100 and PC-133 compliant
SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). You may install 64, 128, 256 and 512MB with Non-ECC SDRAM
modules.
Ultra DMA 33/66/100 Bus Mater IDE
Comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels,
supports Ultra DMA
33/66/100, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices.
On-board AC97 Sound
AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V is equipped with the AC97 sound chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and
playback system.
1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment
Provides “1MHz Stepping Frequency Adjustment” function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you adjust CPU FSB
frequency from 100~248MHz by 1MHz stepping adjustment, and lets your system can get maximum performance.
Watch Dog Timer
Includes AOpen “Watch Dog Timer” function that can auto-reset system in 4.8 seconds when you fail to system overclocking.

Die-Hard BIOS (Optional)
The Die-Hard BIOS technology is a very effective hardware protection method that doesn’t involve any software or BIOS coding.
Hence, it is 100% virus free.
Dr. LED
The Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on this motherboard to easily show what problem you may encounter.
Dr. Voice (AX4BS Pro Only)
The Dr. Voice provides 4 language versions (English, Chinese, Japanese and German) that can easily tell you what problem you
may encounter. Specially tailored made for users, we have defaulted the language versions of Japanese market to Japanese
only to save users from the trouble of setting jumpers, and thus making motherboard a real jumper less design.
Power Management/Plug and Play
The AX4BS Pro / AX4BS-V supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play
, which helps save users from
configuration problems, thus making system user-friendly.
Hardware Monitoring Management
Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor
module and AOpen Hardware Monitoring Utility
.

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 read 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 find some of functions are “Optional”,
and some are “Upgrade Optional”. This is because all of AOpen motherboards include many amazing and powerful features;
however, some of these are not frequently used on daily operation. Therefore, we define some key features as optional to meet
different requirements. Functions that can be upgraded by users are defined as “Upgrade Optional”. The other optional functions
which may have been built on the motherboards and which you cannot upgrade by yourself, we call them “Optional”. If needed,
you can contact your local distributors or resellers to purchase “Upgrade Optional” components. Also you can visit AOpen official
web site: www.aopen.com.tw
to get detailed information.
