Connecting Front Panel Cable - AOpen AX4PE Max Easy Installation Manual

3. Installing CPU & System Fan
Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin CPUFAN1 connector. If you have chassis fan, you
can also plug it on SYSFAN2 or SYSFAN3 connector.

4. Connecting Front Panel Cable

FAN3 Connector
Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to
the corresponding pins. If you enable "Suspend Mode" item 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.

5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency
CPU Core Voltage Auto Detectable
This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically
detected and the range is from 1.1V to 1.925V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the BIOS
setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.
BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setting
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio
CPU Ratio 8x, 9x, 10x... 21x, 22x, 23x, 24x
CPU FSB 100~248MHz

Warning: Intel 845PE chipset
supports maximum 400/533MHz
(100/133MHz*4) system bus and
66MHz AGP clock; higher clock
setting may cause serious
system damage.

may not be able to adjust the
clock ratio in BIOS manually.
