Introduction of AX5/PX5/TX5 Features

Chapter 1
The AX5/PX5/TX5 have been especially designed for File server,
Workstation and Professional users.
processors, including all Intel CPUs (P54C) and Intel CPUs with MMX (P55C),
as well as all AMD-K5/K6 and Cyrix 6x86/6x86L/6x86MX CPUs. It also takes
into account, as much as possible, all future CPUs.
The AX5/PX5/TX5 uses SOFT MENU™ technology, which means that
all the parameters can be configured without using DIP switches or jumpers.
The configuration is entirely achieved through a "Soft Switch" that allows the
user to set CPU speed and operating voltage with ease.
The AX5/PX5/TX5 uses Intel 430TX series chipsets, and has 512K Level-
2 Pipeline Burst SRAM on board.
168-pin DIMM ( Dual In-Line Memory Module ) slots and 72-pin SIMM
(Single In-Line Memory Module )slots meet the requirements for all memory
configurations required by high level computing.
support traditional Fast Page and EDO ( Extended Data Out ) DRAM as a
memory standard for next generation 64-bit systems. The 168-pin DIMM slots
have been reserved to meet requirements for both present and future upgrades.
The AX5/PX5/TX5 also provides two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports
and meets the Concurrent PCI ( Peripheral Component Interconnect ) Rev. 2.1
standard. It also supports IDE interface for Fast HDD (Mode 0~4) and
Ultra DMA/33 ( Direct Memory Access ), as well as IDE Bus Master.
These features also meet present and future interface standards and needs.
System BIOS
Configuration Power Interface (ACPI), the newest Desktop Management
Interface (DMI), as well as AX5/PX5/TX5's unique CPU operating frequency
and voltage setup feature in order to meet modern computing demands.
