Thank you for choosing AOpen AX45F-8X Max motherboard. AX45F-8X Max is Intel
®
Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the ATX
form factor featuring the SIS 648FX chipset
. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, AX45F-8X Max motherboard supports Intel
®
Socket 478 Pentium
®
4 1.6GHz~3.20GHz and 400/533/800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. It also supports Intel Hyper-Threading
Technology which brings additional intelligence to system. In the AGP performance, it has one AGP slot and supports AGP 8X mode
pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 2112MB/sec. According to different customer’s requirements, AX45F-8X Max
supports DDR 400/333/266 RAM up to 3GB maximum. The onboard
IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133 mode and Serial ATA
150 MB/s. There are 6 PCI slots provided on this board and two
IEEE1394
connectors which provide data transfer rate up to 400Mb/s.
A total of 4 USB 2.0
ports on the back panel and one connector on
board give you the best use of all USB devices at the fancy speed up
to 480Mbps. More than that, on the strength of Realtek Gigabit LAN
controller on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect
device, it provides 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet for office and home use.
Besides, AX45F-8X Max has a S/PDIF connector and an AC97
CODEC
chipset onboard, providing high performance and magic
surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it. Now, let’s
enjoy all features from AOpen AX45F-8X Max motherboard.

Chipset
The motherboard is equipped with SIS 648FX chipset. The SIS 648FX Host & Memory & AGP Controller integrates a high performance
host interface for Intel Pentium 4 processor, a high performance memory controller, an AGP interface and SiS MuTIOL 1G Technology
connecting with SiS963L MuTIOL 1G Media IO. The host interface plays the role of processor transactions’ dispatcher. It dispatches
transactions to Memory, I/O interface and AGP bus. Transactions to different destinations can be dispatched concurrently in order to
maximum pipeline efficiency. The Memory con

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
www.aopen.com
for detail information.

Breaking through traditional outlook of motherboard, AOpen now brings you a new fresh look of motherboard! – EzColor!
Fancy? You may think so, but actually it is a practical and useful feature for amateur or even power-users. Coming in specific color for
specific connector and module, components on motherboard are now born with their respective colors. Users may now easily recognize
what jumper or cable should match with specific jumper or cable by COLOR, without having the trouble of holding user guide in one
hand and connecting jumpers with the other hand.
And what makes this feature so great is that, even the easy-to-get-confused front panel connector is differentiated now with different
light colors!
Electric Blue:
Memory Module
Sand: PCI Slot
Sky Blue: AGP Slot
Flame Red:
Both 4-pin and 12-pin
ATX connector
