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
configuration problems, thus making system 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 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.
