User manual AOPEN AX6BP-OV

[. . . ] The only jumper left is to clear CMOS, which is a safety hook if you forget the password. Battery-less Motherboard AX6B Plus implements EEPROM and special circuit (patent applied) that allows you to save your current CPU and CMOS Setup configurations without the need of battery. The RTC (real time clock) can also keep running as long as power cord is plugged. If you lose your CMOS data by accident, you can just reload the CMOS configurations from EEPROM and the system will recover as usual. [. . . ] Mini-Din PS/2 keyboard connector onboard. Lithium (CR-2032) battery is an option, no battery is needed if power cord is plugged. AWARD Plug-and-Play, 2M bit Flash ROM BIOS. Multi-language versions supported. Form Factor Board Size CPU System Memory Second-level Cache Chipset Expansion Slots Serial Port Parallel Port Floppy Interface IDE Interface SCSI USB Interface PS/2 Mouse Keyboard RTC and Battery BIOS 1-4 Overview Suspend to Hard Drive Supported by BIOS, save your work to hard disk and resume within a very short time. VESA compatible VGA and Sound Blaster compatible sound card required. Special circuit (patent applied) to support modem ring wake up by external box modem or internal AOpen F56/MP56 modem card. By using a network card that supports this feature and a network management software (such as ADM), you can wake up a system through a local area network. Program the date/time to wake up your system. High efficient synchronous switching regulator. CPU core voltage over-current protection to prevent any accident short circuit. Warning when CPU temperature is overheat. Option for OEM to have sensor at CPU heatsink. Two 3-pin fan connectors, warning when CPU or housing fan is malfunction. Warning when system voltage (5V, 12V, 3. 3V and CPU core) are abnormal The SB-LINK connector can be used to link Creative PCI sound card.

Next time, when power is on, you can resume your original work directly from hard disk within few second without go through the Win95 booting process and run your application again. If your memory is 16MB, normally, you need to reserve at least 16MB HDD space to save your memory image. Note that you have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA (AOpen PV70/PT70), Sound Blaster compatible sound card and sound driver that supports APM (AOpen AW32/AW35) for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly. Of course, we recommend to use AOpen products for best compatibility. Go into BIOS setup, Power Management à Suspend Mode Option, select "Suspend to Disk". Go into BIOS setup, PNP/PCI Configuration à PnP OS Installed, select "No". This can give BIOS the capability to allocate system resources for Suspend to Hard Drive. Bootup your system into DOS command prompt. [. . . ] After entering BIOS Setup, you can switch to another language by pressing F9. Then pressing F9 again will let you return to English screen. This breakthrough will help you set BIOS items without the language barrier. 1-12 Overview 1. 8 Battery-less Design Battery To preserve the earth, AOpen AX6B Plus implements the world first batteryless motherboard design. There is no need to have battery for RTC (real time clock) and CMOS Setup as long as ATX power cable is plugged. [. . . ]
