cards). The 845E-ANT mainboard also comes with three fan connectors (for
additional thermal protection) and three power supply connectors. It also has a
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) connector that enables it to be “woken up” from a soft-
off power state when it receives a signal from the LAN. Other onboard connec-
tors include CD-IN, AUX-IN and Front Audio connectors.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the
BIOS will automatically record different information about your system con-
figuration and store this information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the
system board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately net-
worked software, is designed for easy inventory, maintenance and the simpli-
fied troubleshooting of computer systems.
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) Port
One WOL connector supports Wake-On-LAN functionality.
CPU Switching Voltage Regulator
This mainboard is equipped with a switching voltage regulator that automati-
cally detects a DC power supply from +1.10V to +1.85V.
System Memory
The 845E-ANT mainboard uses Double Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DDR DIMM). Each mainboard has two 184-pin DIMM sockets. These sockets
support 2.5V (power level) single-sided or double-sided PC1600 (DDR200) or
PC2100 (DDR266) DDR DIMM modules. The maximum memory supported by
the mainboard is 2 GB.
Introduction
Supports 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 Mb and 512 Mb technologies for x8 and x16 de-
vices. (Double Sided x16 devices are not supported)

•One 4-pin (1x4) ATX Auxiliary power supply connector
•CPU fan, power supply fan, chassis fan connectors.
•One CD audio in connector.
•One AUX-IN connector
•One Front Audio connector
•One WOL (Wake-On-LAN) connector
ATX Double Deck Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors)
•Two USB2.0 ports.
•Two external DB-9 serial port connector: COM 1 and COM 2 (UART).
•One SPP/ECP/EPP DB-25 parallel port.
•One mini-DIN-6 PS/2 mouse port.
•One mini-DIN-6 PS/2 keyboard port.
•One GAME/MIDI port.
•Three audio jacks: SPK-OUT, LINE-IN and MIC-IN.
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
•Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices.
•The 845E-ANT mainboard supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100
hard drives.
•PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to
16.6MB/sec.).
•Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer.
•Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP.
Utility Panel: Front Audio
The Front Utility Panel is a unique design concept that brings audio ports to
the front of your system. Speaker and microphone can be connected to these
ports.
Introduction
USB Ports
USB allows data exchange between your computer and a wide range of
simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals. The 845E-ANT
mainboard is equipped with six USB2.0 connectors. USB 1 and USB 2 are
external connectors. They can be found on the PC 99 ATX connector. The other
USB connectors are internal connectors and can be used to connect other USB
devices. (Cables for the internal connectors are sold separately).

The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
1.4.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The 845E-ANT mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility
contained on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the systems hardware
conditions such as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of
both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the
items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning
message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default
Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good
working condition.
1.4.2. Installation
To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run
screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hardware Monitoring
button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please
refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instructions.

Management Setup, this switch allows the system to enter the Soft-Off or
Suspend mode.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically
power-on at a set date and time.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft
Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support the remote wakeup
function. The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least
720mA.
ACPI Ready
The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support
OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) for round the clock PC operation.
