Thank you very much for choosing AOpen MK73LE-N / MK73LE-V. It is an AMD®Socket 462 motherboard based on the Micro
ATX form factor featuring the VIA KLE133 chipset. As high performance chipset built in the M/B, the MK73LE-N / MK73LE-V
supports both AMD®Socket 462 series Athlon™ & Duron™ processor in 133MHz Front Side bus (FSB). As to the AGP
performance, it integrates a Trident Blade3D AGP graphics engine to deliver rich graphics capabilities for running 2D/3D
software and Internet applications. Through its advanced memory controller architecture, this motherboard supports up to 1.0GB
of PC-100 or PC-133 SDRAM. The on-board IDE controller supports UltraATA 33/66/100 mode and the transfer rate up to the
latest high-speed 100MB/s. Further flexibility can be achieved by taking advantage of the Communication and Network Riser
(CNR) card option that allows audio or modem configuration on a single baseboard design. Besides, on the strength of built in
AC97 CODEC controller, it can bring you the high quality
multimedia capabilities with the magic stereo surround. Now,
enjoy all features from AOpen MK73LE-N / MK73LE-V.

Memory
The MK73LE-N / MK73LE-V supports both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM, which allows zero wait state bursting between the
DRAM and the data buffers at 100/133MHz. The two banks of DIMM slots can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of
8M/16M/32M/64M/128M/256M/512M DRAMs. The DRAM controller can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (100/133MHz)
or pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus frequency.
Onboard Trident Blade3D Graphics Engine
This motherboard integrates the rich AGP graphics capabilities of the Trident Blade3D graphics engine, which provides full AGP
2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1X/2X/4X mode transfers, SBA (Side Band Addressing), Flush/Fence
commands, and pipelined grants. The AGP 4X specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The
AGP 4X video cards support data transfer rates up to 533MB/s.
Ultra ATA 33/66/100 Enhanced IDE
Ultra ATA/100 is the latest version of the ATA hard drive data transfer protocol. This motherboard comes with an on-board PCI
Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra ATA 33/66/100,
PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices.
On-board AC97 Sound

Power Management/Plug and Play
Supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play, which helps save users from configuration problems, thus
making system user-friendly.
Hardware Monitoring Management
Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature, voltage monitoring and alert through the on-board hardware monitor module
and AOpen Hardware Monitoring Utility.
Enhanced ACPI
Fully implements the ACPI standard for Windows®95/98/ME/NT/2000 series compatibility, and supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend
to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4), WOM (Wake On Modem), and WOL (Wake On LAN) features.
Super Multi-I/O
Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be
directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections.

This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion
boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install
a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install
it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before
handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the
system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
