10. IEEE 1394 Connectors
This motherboard has two IEEE 1394 connectors onboard. The IEEE 1394 provides data
transfer rate up to 400Mb/s. Therefore the IEEE 1394 interface can connect with the
devices that need high data transferring performance, such as digital camera, scanner or
others IEEE 1394 devices. Please use the proper cable to connect with devices.
11. Dr. Voice II and JP15/16
Dr. Voice II is a great feature which can identify the problems you may encounter in the
operating system. It can clearly "tell you" whether the problem is caused from components
or improper installation such as CPU, memory module, VGA, PCI add-on card, FDD, HDD or
keyboard. Dr. Voice II provides four language versions: English, German, Japanese and
Chinese. You can select your preferred language by JP15 & JP16 jumpers. Furthermore,
you may also set JP2 to choose sending out voices from buzzer or speaker.

12. AGP 8X Expansion Slot
This model provides an
AGP
8x slot which is the latest AGP specification. The AGP 8x calls for
the bus to operate at the basic AGP 66-MHz clock frequency and the bandwidth are
2.1Gbytes/s. It is a great improvement on the performance of 3D graphic. AGP supports only
memory read/write operation and single-master single-slave one-to-one only. AGP uses both
rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock, for 2X AGP, the data transfer rate is 66MHz x 4bytes
x 2 = 528MB/s and AGP 4x mode, 66MHz x 4bytes x 4 = 1056MB/s. Now the transfer rate is
66MHz x 4bytes x 8 = 2112MB/s.
Warning:
It is strongly
recommended not to install
a 3.3V AGP card, which is
not
supported
by
SiS648FX. When you do
so, the AGP LED on the
motherboard will light up to
warn
you
the
possible
damage.
13. Connecting Serial ATA Connector
To connect a Serial ATA disk, you must use a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends of the
serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the main board and the disk. Like every other
traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please note that it is a jumper free
implement; you don't need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When connecting
two serial ATA disks, the system will automatically take the one connected to "Serial ATA 1"
header as a master disk.
