CPU
Supports AMD
®
Socket 462 series CPU with both 200/266/333 MHz EV6 Bus designed for Socket 462 technology.
Athlon: 600MHz~1.4GHz
Duron: 600MHz~1.2GHz
AthlonXP: 1500+(1.33GHz)~3000+(2.167GHz)
Chipset
The VIA Apollo KT400A consists of the KT400A V-Link DDR Host system controller and the VT8235 highly integrated V-Link
Client PCI/LPC controller. The Host system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, SDRAM, AGP bus, and
V-Link interface with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The VT8235 V-Link Client controller is a highly integrated
PCI/LPC controller. Its internal bus structure is based on 66MHz PCI bus that provides 4x bandwidth compare to previous
generation PCI/ISA bridge chips. The VT8235 integrated Client V-Link controller with 266/533MB/s bandwidth between
Host/Client V-Link interface, providing a V-Link-PCI and V-Link-LPC controller.
Ultra DMA 66/100/133 Bus Master IDE
Comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with three connectors that supports six IDE devices in three channels,
supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices.

Memory
With VIA Apollo KT400A chipset, the AK77-400 / AK77-400N / AK77-400 Max can support Double-Data-Rate (DDR) RAM. The
DDR RAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the RAM and the data buffers at 333/266/200 MHz. The six banks
of DDR RAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 64, 128, 256, 512MB x N DDR RAM and support DDR400 maximum
up to 2GB and DDR333/266 up to 3GB. The AK77-400 / AK77-400N / AK77-400 Max allows DDR RAM to run at either
synchronous or pseudo-synchronous mode with the host CPU bus frequency (333/266/200MHz).
On-board AC97 Sound
AK77-400 / AK77-400N / AK77-400 Max uses the AC97 CODEC RealTek ALC650 chip, which supports high quality of 5.1
Channel audio effects. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback system.
Six USB 2.0 Connectors
Provides three ports, six USB connectors for USB interface devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. Please
note that USB 2.0, with fancy speed up to 480Mbps, is 40 times faster than the traditional ones. Except for the speed increase,
USB 2.0 supports old USB 1.0/1.1 software and peripherals, offering impressive and even better compatibility to customers.
IEEE 1394 (for AK77-400 Max)
This motherboard comes with IEEE 1394a controller TI TSB43AB22 onboard, which provides data transfer rate up to 400Mbps.
to connect with the devices that need high data transferring performance, such as digital camera, scanner or others IEEE 1394
devices.

1MHz Stepping CPU Frequency Adjustment
Provides “1MHz Stepping CPU Frequency Adjustment” function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you adjust CPU FSB
frequency from 100~191MHz by 1MHz stepping, and lets your system can get maximum performance.
Watch Dog ABS
Includes AOpen “Watch Dog ABS” function that can auto-reset system in 4.8 seconds when you fail the system overclocking.
Die-Hard BIOS (User Upgrade 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 (User Upgrade Optional)
Dr. LED has 8 LEDs on AK77-400 / AK77-400N / AK77-400 Max, which can easily show what kind of problem you may
encounter.
Power Management/Plug and Play
AK77-400 / AK77-400N / AK77-400 Max 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 saving users
from configuration problems, thus making the system much more user-friendly.

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 procedures requiring ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may find some of functions are called
“Manufacturer Upgrade Optional”, and some are called “User Upgrade Optional”. Though all AOpen motherboards include many
amazing and powerful features, in some situations, these powerful features are not used to every user. Hence, we changed
some key features as “Manufacturer Upgrade Optional” for you to choose. Some optional functions that can be upgraded by
users, we call them “User Upgrade Optional”. As for those optional functions that can’t be upgraded by ourselves, we call them
“Manufacturer Upgrade Optional”. If needed, you can contact our local distributors or resellers for purchasing “User Upgrade
Optional” components, and again you can visit AOpen official web site: http://english.aopen.com.tw/
for more detail information.
