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

IDE bus is 16-bit, which means every transfer is two bytes. As the hard drive industry introduces faster and higher capacity hard drives,
the current Ultra ATA/100 interface causes a data bottleneck between the drive and the host computer. To avoid this problem, hard disk
manufactures have introduced the new Ultra ATA-133 interface technology.
percent increase in interface speed with transfer rate of 133MB/s. ATA/133 performance is ideal for new operating systems, such as
Window XP, that demand more storage space and faster data transfer rates from more responsive computing experiences.
To make good use of this new technology and enjoy its best performance, we recommend you to pair your system with a hard disk
equipped with ATA/133 technology so that your system's need for speed on this motherboard can be satisfied.

useless. This motherboard is with switching regulator onboard supporting CPU over-current protection; in conjunction with 3.3V/5V/12V
power supply provide the full line over-current protection.

The power circuit of the CPU core voltage must be checked to ensure system stability for high speed CPUs (such as the new Pentium III, or
when overclocking). A typical CPU core voltage is 2.0V, so a good design should control voltage between 1.860V and 2.140V. That is, the
transient must be below 280mV. Below is a timing diagram captured by a Digital Storage Scope, it shows the voltage transient is only

AACC9977 CCOODDEECC
Basically, AC97 CODEC is the standard structure of PCI sound card. As we know, computer is digital-based, but music is based on
analog-based. Therefore, there must be a process to turn digital into analog during the last stage processing of sound in computer.
Hence, the component on sound card that play this important task is what we called CODEC.
Audio CODEC 97 (briefly called AC97) is the specification regulated by Intel, and it’s about the structure of audio conversion. The
special place about CODEC is that it is separated from sound card (CODEC is an independent chipset). Therefore, PCI sound card
could possess with 90db and do other application process as well. We called CODEC that meets this structure AC97 CODEC.
AACCPPII ((AAddvvaanncceedd CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn && PPoowweerr IInntteerrffaaccee)

share the same algorithm of 32-bit, its frequencies are 66MHz and 33MHz respectively. AGP interface had been developed from
2X to 8x.
1X AGP, data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4byte x 1 = 264MB/s
2X AGP, data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4byte x 2 = 528MB/s
4X AGP, data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4byte x 4 = 1056MB/s.

IIEEEEEE 1133994
IEEE 1394, which also called Firewire, is a serial data transfer protocol and interconnection system. The main feature of the
Firewire that assures its adoption for the digital video and audio (A/V) consumer application is its low cost. Fire wire interface is
capable of supporting various high-end digital A/V applications, such as consumer A/V device control and signal routing, Digital
Video (DV) editing, home networking, and more than 32 channels of digital mixing. Gone are those days of expensive video
capture cards. Firewire allows for video capture from both newer DV camcorders with Firewire ports and older analog equipment
using A/V to Firewire converters.
The advantages of the IEEE1394:
High data transfer rate – Start from 400 Mbps, (with 800/1600/3200 Mbps coming soon), which is about 30 times faster than USB
1.1.
Supports up to 63 devices (16 - daisy chained) with cable length up to about 4.5 m (14 feet).
Hot-pluggable (like USB). No need to turn of your device to connect or disconnect, and you don't need to reboot your PC. Also, it is
a plug-and-play bus.
IEEE1394 is very easy to connect (Like USB1.1/2/0).
PPaarriittyy BBiit
The parity mode uses 1 parity bit for each byte, normally it is even parity mode, that is, each time the memory data is updated,
parity bit will be adjusted to have even count "1" for each byte. When next time, if memory is read with odd number of "1", the parity
error is occurred and this is called single bit error detection.
