Overview
Thank you for choosing AOpen MX4LS motherboard. MX4LS is Intel® Socket 478 motherboard (M/B) based on the Micro-ATX form factor featuring the Intel® 845GL(Brookdale) chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, MX4LS motherboard support Intel® Socket 478 Pentium® 4 (Brookdale) and 400 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) clock. On the strength of Intel 845GL chipset, this motherboard multiplexes the AGP signal interface with two Intel DVO ports that are capable of supporting a variety of digital display devices such as TV-Out encoders. According to different customer’s requirements, the Intel 845GL chipset memory interface supports PC100/133 SDRAM devices with densities of 64, 128, 256, 512MB or 1GB SDRAM DIMM modules and the maximum memory size can be up to 2 GB. The onboard 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 and modem configuration on a single baseboard design. Besides, the MX4LS has 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 MX4LS motherboard.

Hardware Installation
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.

About “User Upgrade Optional” and “Manufacture Uppggrraaddee
Optional”…
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.

JP14 Clear CMOS Data
You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1.Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2.Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3.Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4.Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin1 & pin2.
5.Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

CPU Installation
This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium 4 Socket 478 series CPU (Brookdale). Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1.Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
2.Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a cut edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket.

3.Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
CPU cut edge
Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it may damage the CPU.
Note: This socket supports Micro-FC-PGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in.
Note: P4 CPU tends to produce higher temperature; for better heat dissipation, we recommend you to install this motherboard with a bigger housing. Besides, by doing so you can prevent components from colliding.
Note: These pictures are for example only; it may not look exactly the same with the motherboard you purchased.

CPU Fan Installation
This motherboard comes with a retention module attached on the CPU socket when shipped, we strongly recommend you to install AOpen special designed CPU Fan as shown below on the retention module for better heat dissipation. Please install the
CPU Fan correctly as the following pictures shown.
1. Gently put the CPU Fan down on the retention module with clips aligning correctly to the four corners.
2.Pressing down the four clips with force one by one on the retention module.

CPU Jumper-less Design
CPU VID signal and SMbus clock generator provide CPU voltage auto-detection and allows the user to set the CPU frequency through the BIOS setup, therefore no jumpers or switches are used. The disadvantages of the Pentium based jumper-less designs are eliminated. There will be no worry of wrong CPU voltage detection.

AOpen “Watch Dog Timer”
AOpen provides a special and useful feature on this motherboard for overclockers. When you power-on the system, BIOS will check last system POST status. If it succeeds, the BIOS will enable “Watch Dog Timer” function immediately, and set the CPU FSB frequency according to user’s settings stored in BIOS. If system fails in BIOS POST, then “Watch Dog Timer” will reset
the system to reboot in five seconds. BIOS will detect the CPU’s default frequency and POST again. With this special feature, you can easily overclock your system to get a higher system performance without removing the system housing and save the hassle from setting the jumper to clear CMOS data when system hangs.
