Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency Setting CPU Core Voltage This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically detected and the range is from 1.10V to 1.85V. 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 3. Installing Processor Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, you may damage the CPU.

9. JP28 Keyboard/Mouse Wakeup Select Jumper 7. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect This motherboard comes with an ALC650 Codec which supports high quality of 5.1 Channel audio effect, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the innovative design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. Picture bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1 Channel sound track. Please connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out” port, rear speakers’ plug to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red “MIC in” port. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a latest audio transfer file format that provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with a even better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the SPDIF connector to a S/PDIF audio module bearing S/PDIF digital output. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker with SPDIF digital input to make the most of this function. This motherboard provides keyboard / mouse wake-up function. You can use JP28 to enable or disable this function, which could resume your system from suspend mode with keyboard or mouse. The factory default setting is set to “Disable”(1-2), and you may enable this function by setting the jumper to 2-3. 6. Support 2nd and 3rd USB2.0 Ports This motherboard provides six USB2.0 ports to connect USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, etc. There are two connectors on the PC99 back panel. You can use proper cables to connect USB devices from PC99 back panel or connect USB2 and USB3 headers to the front panel of chassis.

10. Dr. Voice Dr. Voice is a great feature of AX4B Pro-533, 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 provides four language versions: English, German, Japanese and Chinese. You can select your preferred language by JP15 & JP16 jumpers. However, if you want to disable this function, you may also adjust both JP1 and JP2 and set them to pin 2-3 to disable the buzzer and speaker from making out voices. After you finish jumper settings and connect correct cables, power on and enter the BIOS Setup. Press during POST (Power On Self Test). Choose "Load Setup Defaults" for recommended optimal performance. 13. AOpen Bonus Pack CD 11. JP1 Buzzer and JP2 Speaker Jumpers This motherboard comes with another considerate option that allows you to turn off the voice from buzzer and speaker. You can choose not to be bothered by the warning made from Dr. Voice when it detects any error in operating system. To disable this function, set JP1 and JP2 to pin 2-3 to stop both buzzer and speaker from sending out voices. You can use the autorun menu of Bonus CD. Choose the utility and driver and select model name. Del Warning: Please avoid of using "Load Turbo Defaults", unless you are sure your system components (CPU, DRAM, HDD, etc.) are good enough for turbo setting.
