Connecting Front Panel Cable; Support 10/100 Mbps Lan Onboard - AOpen MX3S Easy Installation Manual

Connecting Front Panel Cable

Attach the power LED, keylock, speaker, and reset
switch connectors to the corresponding pins. If you
enable Power Management > ACPI Function in
BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep
flashing while the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX
housing. It is 2-pin female connector from the
housing front panel. Plug this connector to the
soft-power switch connector marked SPWR.
Connecting IDE and Floppy Cable
Connect 34-pin floppy cable and 40-pin IDE cable to floppy connector FDC and IDE
connector IDE1, IDE2. Pin1 of cable is normally marked with red color. Be careful of the
pin1 orientation. Wrong orientation may cause system damage.

Support 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard

Intel i815E/i815EP (Solano Series) includes a fast Ethernet controller on chip. On the
strength of Intel 82562EM, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it
provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector
is located on top of USB connectors. The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights
when linking to network and blinking when transferring data. The orange LED indicates
the transfer mode, it will light when transferring data in 100Mbps mode.
This motherboard has two 168-pin DIMM sockets that
allow you to install PC133 memory up to 512 MB. Only
SDRAM is supported.
Tip: The driving capability of new generation
chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory
buffer (to improve performance). This makes
DRAM chip count an important factor to take
into consideration when you install DIMMs.
Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS
can identify the correct chip count, you need
to calculate the chip count by yourself. The
simple rule is: By visual inspection, use
only DIMMs which are less than 18 chips.

Note: This motherboard implements special
technology to support Wake On LAN. To take
advantage of this function, you will need to insert
an add-on PCI LAN card.
