MATSONIC MS7117C User Manual page 7

access (X-1-1-1) for 66 MHz ,100MHz and 133MHz operation. The
board is compliant with PCI Rev.2.1 operating at 33 MHz Four PCI Bus
masters are supported.
The south bridge is provided by the 596B. This chip supports ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Rev 1.0, onboard PCI
IDE channels(DMA66), USB ports, and a System Management Bus for
OS control and configuration of devices.
Built-in PCI 3D Sound
The PCI Audio CMI 8738 is a single chip solution for PCI-bus 3D audio.
The chip provides Sound Blaster 16-bit-compatible audio, plus support
for Microsoft's DirectSound 3D specification and Aureal A3D interface.
The sound ports include jacks for speakers, microphone and stereo in,
and a game/MIDI port. The audio system supports full duplex operation
and drivers are available for WIN 95/98 and WIN NT 4.0. The audio
system can output sound to 4 loudspeakers and also supports SPDIF
24-bit digital sound input and output.
Optional Built-in Communications
The mainboard has an integrated fax/modem connector. As an option,
you can purchase a fax/modem extension bracket which connects the
line and telephone RJII sockets to the board. The fax/modem supports
the V.90 protocol that allows transmissions at up to 56Kbps and is fully
compatible with earlier transmission and error correction standards. It
supports automatic fall back and caller ID.
Maximum Expansion Options
This is a full-sized ATX mainboard that offers the maximum in system
expansion. The board has a total of 7 expansion slots. The AGP slot can
be used by an AGP graphics adapter. The four 32-bit PCI slots can be
used by PCI expansion cards, and the two 8/16-bit ISA slots can be used
by legacy ISA expansion cards. One of the PCI slots is shared with one
of the ISA slots. This means that you can use either one of these slots
but not both at the same time. With six usable slots, this mainboard can
be installed with a full set of optional expansion cards.
Integrated I/O
Using the Winbond W83977EF-AW I/O chip and the Intel BX chipset, the
board has a comprehensive set of integrated I/O ports. The I/O port
array features PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, a parallel port, two USB
ports, two serial ports, a game/MIDI port, and three audio jacks.
Optionally, you can use the built-in mainboard header to add in an
infrared port. The mainboard has two PCI-IDE channels and a floppy
disk drive interface.
