11. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effects
This motherboard comes with an ALC650 CODEC, which supports high quality of 5.1
Channel audio effects, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the
innovative design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio
output without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install
the audio driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1
Channel. Picture bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1Channel
sound track. Please connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out”
port, rear speakers’ plug to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer
speakers to the red “MIC in” port.
12. Memory Module (128-Bit DDR Dual Channel)
10. S/PDIF Connector
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which
provides impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital
audio instead of analog audio. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one
for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the
other for optical connector with better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable,
you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module,
which bears S/PDIF digital output. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported
speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input to connect to the S/PDIF digital
output to make the most out of this function.
Pin 1
In the past, we used to have 64-bit memory bandwidth for memory access. No matter how
many memory modules have been installed, though capacity added, the speed of access
remains the same. With 128-bit dual channel introduced, it doubles the memory bandwidth
up to 5.4GB in advanced 128-bit mode. This motherboard supports DDR400/333/266 with
Maximum capacity up to 4GB

For AX4SG-L
,
on the strength of Broadcom BCM5705 LAN controller on board, which is a
highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides Gigabit Ethernet for office and
home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on top of USB connectors. For
AX4SG-N, This motherboard integrates Broadcom BCM4401 LAN controller, and it
provides 10/100M bps Ethernet. For AX4SG, There is no LAN module integrated on
board. The right hand side LED indicates link mode, it lights in orange whenever linking to
network. The left hand side LED indicates the transfer mode and it lights in green when
data is transferring in 100Mbps (never lights while in 10Mbps), but lights in orange when
transferring in Gigabit’s mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it
through BIOS.
