the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for

help.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with

the emission limits.

Notice

This user’s manual contains detailed information about the system

board. If, in some cases, some information doesn’t match those

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Introduction

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D

graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system

memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The univer-

sal AGP slot supports AGP 8x with up to 2132MB/sec. bandwidth

and AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics

applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster and bet-

ter graphics to your PC.

Onboard Audio Features

• AC'97 2.2 extension compliant codec

• Supports Microsoft®DirectSound/DirectSound 3D

• AC’97 supported with full duplex, independent sample rate

converter for audio recording and playback

• S/PDIF-in/out interface

• 6-channel audio output

S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital

audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to

an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal

from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usu-

ally found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or

audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system

board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to am-

plifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD re-

corders.

6-channel Audio

The 6-channel audio output function is supported by using the

surround connector, the audio jacks at the rear panel and

configuring the audio driver. Please refer to chapters 2 and 4

Introduction

IEEE 1394A Interface (648FX-AL only)

IEEE 1394A is fully compliant with the 1394A OHCI (Open Host

Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 de-

vices that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394A is a fast

external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to

400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also supports iso-

chronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need

to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394A supports both

Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.

• Uses Agere FW803 chip

• Supports three 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports

PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate

up to 133MB/sec.)

• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer

• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP

IrDA Interface

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wire-

less connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.

The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data

transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.

Introduction

USB Ports

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1

supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports

480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in

device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range

of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

BIOS

• Award BIOS, Windows®98/2000/ME/XP Plug and Play

compatible

• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up

• Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades

• Supports DMI 2.0 function

• 2Mbit flash memory

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in

the DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play

BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is

designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of

computer systems easier.

Rear Panel I/O Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors)

• 2 USB 2.0/1.1 ports

• 1 RJ45 LAN port

• 2 DB-9 serial ports

• 1 DB-25 parallel port
