CPU Switching Voltage Regulator
Equipped with a switching voltage regulator that automatically detects +1.10V to
+1.85V DC power supply.
System Memory
These mainboards each have three 168-pin DIMM modules onboard. These mod-
ules are able to support 3.3V PC-133 SDR SDRAM modules. A maximum memory
of 3GB is supported.
Expansion Slots
These mainboards are equipped with six dedicated PCI slots, one CNR slot and
one 4x AGP slot. PCI 6 and the CNR slot are shared slots.
Onboard Audio Features
Supports Microsoft DirectSound/ DirectSound 3D and AC97 Full Duplex.
Word Size
• Data Path: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit
• Address Path: 32-bit
Front Side Bus Frequency (FSB)
For a P4 Socket 478 CPU a 400 MHz FSB (100 MHz QDR) is supported.
BIOS
•2Mb Flash ROM
• Award BIOS, Windows 95/98 Plug and Play (PnP) compatible.
• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up.
• Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades.
• Supports DMI 2.0 function
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 configura-
tion 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 networked soft-
ware, is designed for easy inventory, maintenance and the simplified trouble-
shooting of computer systems.
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) Port
One WOL connector supports Wake-On-LAN functionality.

USB Ports
The mainboard is equipped with Four Version 1.1 USB ports. USB allows data
exchange between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible
external Plug and Play peripherals. USB 1 and USB 2 are external ports. They can
be found on the PC 99 ATX connector. USB 3 and USB 4 are non-standard
internal connectors that can be used to connect other USB devices.
Connectors
•Two IDE connectors.
•One floppy drive interface supports up to two 2.88MB floppy drives.
•One 20-pin ATX power supply connector.
•One 2x2 ATX 12V power supply connector.
•One 1x6 ATX Auxiliary power supply connector.
• CPU and chassis fan connectors.
• One CD audio-in connector.
• One Aux-IN Connector
• One Video-IN Connector
• Οne Smart Card Reader (SCR) for use with a Smart Card Reader Kit.
(Only for 845S-AD)
ATX Double Deck Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors) )
•Two USB ports.
•Two external DB-9 serial port connectors: 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: speak-out, line-in and mic-in.
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
•Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices.
•Both models support ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA100 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.
Optional cables for USB 3 and USB 4 must be purchased separately.
These cables should have a connector on either end. One of these con-
nectors should be a standard USB connector. The other connector
should be compatible with the USB 3/4 connectors on your mainboard.
Introduction

AZZA
845S MAINBOARD SERIES Page 9
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 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.
Only use this utility in Windows ® 95 or Windows ® 98 operating systems.
Special Features for the 845S-AD Model
ALARM
The ALARM is an intelligent voice debugging device. When you boot your system
it examines the status of your system to determine if the system is operating cor-
rectly. If a device is incorrectly installed, not installed or damaged a voice an-
nouncement will be made. Devices which are supported by this alarm are: CPU,
Memory, Video Card, FDD, HDD, Keyboard and Battery.
Special Features
Utility Panel: Front USB
The Front Utility Panel is a unique design concept that brings USB ports to the
front of your system. USB 3 and USB 4 can be connected to these ports. The
Front Utility Panel is shown below.
