LED 6 - Indicates that the keyboard may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 7 - Indicates that the system is OK. Note: During POST (Power On Self Test) procedure, the Debug LED will light on sequentially from LED0 to LED7 until the system boot O. K 63 AX45-8X Max JP15/JP16 Dr. Voice Language Select Jumpers Online Manual Dr. Voice is a great feature of AX45-8X Max, 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. 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. Voice Language Select Jumper JP15 JP16 1 1 English (Default) Chinese Japanese German 64 AX45-8X Max JP1 Buzzer and JP2 Speaker Enable/Disable Jumpers Online Manual 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.

The RTC (real time clock) can also keep running as long as the power cord is plugged. If you lose your CMOS data by accident, you can just reload the CMOS configurations from Flash ROM and the system will recover as usual. ATX Stand-by Power Battery Auto Switch RTC (Real Time Clock) 00:00:00 Auto switching to ATX standby power as long as AC power line is plugged. This smart design increases battery life if you still plug battery on motherboard. Flash ROM CMOS Backup by EEPROM 66 AX45-8X Max Over-current Protection Online Manual The Over Current Protection is a popular implementation on ATX 3. 3V/5V/12V switching power supply. However, the new generation CPU uses different voltage with a regulator to transfer 12V to CPU voltage (for example, 2. 0V), and thus makes 5V over current protection useless. This motherboard is with switching regulator onboard supporting CPU over-current protection; in conjunction with 3. 3V/5V/12V power supply provide the full line over-current protection. 3. 3V (Protected by power supply) ATX Switching Power Supply 5V (Protected by power supply) 12V (Protected by power supply) Onboard Power Regulator Over-Current Protection Circuit CPU Core Voltage Note: Although we have implemented protection circuit and tried to prevent any human operating mistake, certain risks might still happen when CPU, memory, HDD or add-on cards installed on this motherboard is damaged due to component failure, human operating error or other unknown natural reasons. AOpen cannot guarantee that the protection circuit will always work perfectly. 67 AX45-8X Max Hardware Monitoring Online Manual This motherboard implements a hardware monitoring system. As you turn on your system, this smart design will monitor your system's working voltage, fan status and CPU temperature.
