K 59 AX4B Max / AX4B U2 JP15/JP16 Dr. Voice Language Select Jumpers Online Manual Dr. Voice is a great feature of AX4B Max / AX4B U2, 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.

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 the buzzer and speaker from sending out voices.

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 Auto switching to ATX standby RTC (Real Time Clock) 00:00:00 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 62 AX4B Max / AX4B U2 O v e r - c ur r e n t P r o t e c t i o n 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 5V 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. 12V (Protected by power supply) ATX Switching Power Supply 3. 3V (Protected by power supply) 5V (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. 63 AX4B Max / AX4B U2 H a r d w a r e M o ni t o r i n g 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. If any of those systems' status goes wrong, there will be an alarm through the chassis external speaker or buzzer of motherboard (if having this function and enabled) to warn the user.
