Thank you for choosing AOpen MK79. The MK79 is based on AMD® Socket 462 motherboard with micro ATX form factor
featuring the NVIDIA nForce™ (IGP and MCP-D)
Socket 462 series Athlon™ & Duron™ and AthlonXP™ processor and 266/200MHz EV6 system bus. For better graphic
performance, GeForce2 GPU 3D Graphics is integrated into the NVIDIA nForce for delivering rich,real-time 3D images and
animation consumes valuable system Bandwidth. MK79 supports 1.5V AGP interface with AGP 4x with Fast Write data transfer,
which pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 1056MB/sec. This motherboard comes with high speed of 6.4Gb/sec
HyperTransport, the Isochronous Link between NVIDIA IGP
and MCP-D. DDR266

CPU
Supports AMD® Socket 462 series CPU with 200MHz and 266MHz, EV6 Bus designed for Socket 462 technology.
Athlon: 600MHz~1.4GHz
Duron: 600MHz~1.2GHz
AthlonXP: 1500+(1.33GHz)~2600+(2.06GHz)
Chipset
The NVIDIA nForce™2 consists of the nVIDIA nForce IGP and MCP-D, which using TwinBank™ Memory Architecture, a
Dynamic Adaptive Speculative processor (DASP) to help boost CPU performance and the HyperTransport, a high performance
I/O bus interface with high speed of 6.4Gb/sec. Integrated in this excellent chipset is the Geforce2 GPU, which could provide
amazing 3D visual performance to create rich, real-time 3D images and animation and Dolby

1056MB/s. For AD and SBA signaling, MK79 can support 133MHz 2X/4X mode.
Memory
With NVIDIA nForce™2 chipsets, the MK79 supports Double-Data-Rate (DDR) RAM. The DDR RAM interface allows zero wait
state bursting between the RAM and the data buffers at 266/200 MHz. The four banks of DDR RAM can be composed of an
arbitrary mixture of 64, 128, 256, 512MB DDR RAM and maximum up to 1GB. The MK79 allows DDR RAM to run at either
synchronous or pseudo-synchronous mode with the host CPU bus frequency (266/200MHz).
On-board AC97 Sound
MK79 uses the AC97 CODEC RealTek ALC202A chip. This on-board audio includes a complete audio recording and playback
system.
ACR Slot
On the strength of nForce MCP-D on chip, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet for office and home use. You may use ACR slot with LAN card connected for network access.

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.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedures 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 pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon™ & Duron™ and AthlonXP™ Socket 462 series CPU. 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 black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.
