This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: El ectrostatic 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 t hroughout 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

This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 1.4~2.4GHz Socket 478 series CPU. Please follow steps below to finish CPU
installation. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket level and
up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut
edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge,
then insert the CPU into the socket.
Note: These pictures are for example only; they may not look exactly the same as the motherboard you purchased.

3. Press down the CPU socket level and finish CPU installation.
Note: The CPU you purchased may look different from the one shown here.

Note: This socket supports
Micro-FC-PGA2 package CPU, which
is the latest CPU package developed
by Intel. Other forms of CPU package
cannot be fitted in.
Note: If you do not match the CPU
socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it
may damage the CPU.
Note: P4 CPU tends to produce highe
temperature; for better heat dissipation,
we recommend you to install this
motherboard with a bigger housing.
Besides, by doing so you can preven
components from colliding.

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

Note: Based on Intel 850E chipset specification, AX4T
II-533 / AX4T II-533N has dual memory channel. Please
note that when you insert RIMM modules, you have to
insert them into RIMM 1 and 4, and have terminators
inserted into RIMM 2 and 3. Or you can insert RIMM
modules into RIMM 2 and 3, and have terminators
inserted into RIMM 1 and 4.
